WOW!! What a great experience. Restaurants like this are hard to find in the greater Sacramento area. So happy to have one locally. The farm to fork fashion is truly a thing here! From local farms! The ever-changing and evolving menu is amazing. We highly recommend the Omakase with wine pairing. It was excellent!

I just moved to the area from Southern California and have been looking for decent restaurants that take pride in creating delicious and healthy foods and tasty cocktails for their customers! And who provides sincere and knowledgeable service that helps me make better choices for a better experience. GUESS WHAT? MAGPIE DID IT ALL FOR ME AND MY 4 GUESTS! SO SO SO HAPPY to come here and discover this restaurant! FOOD IS TOO QUALITY! This restaurant CARES ABOUT EVERYTHING THEY SERVE YOU! I’m impressed! My two cocktails, the Strawberry Mint Fizz and Coastal Coup, spectacular! The bartender is wonderful! My salad, the Bay Shrimp & Avocado, scrumptious! The appetizers, trout dip, beef tartare, excellent! I especially liked the Farmer Frito appetizer and its delicious sauce which not a drop was left! Then my dinner! Holy moly! The halibut! Perfectly cooked with a wonderful crusty top over this amazing vegetable patty that I am still dreaming about! This veggie patty reminded me of one my Italian nana would make for me when she would visit each summer! Two desserts were wonderful and a must order and they were the chocolate avocado ( I know, I was skeptical too) and the softened brioche with diced strawberries (oh my)! So, after reading this if you don’t choose to visit Magpie you are really missing out! It really is a very very special place where people care about preparing terrific meals for YOU! They certainly did for me! Thanks so much!❤️
