Magpie's Joy of Eating

I have been anxiously waiting to try Magpies since it opened and tonight was the night.
We had a 5 pm reservation got there about 4:45 thinking we would have a cocktail so we sat at a table and no server ever came to us.
Ok strange but the stranger part is that this lovely little bistro is paired with a neighborhood tavern which was very HoT and so loud my head was pounding.
The hostess came and asked if we had a reservation at about 5:02 we gave her our name and time of reservation.
The doors to the restaurant did not open until 5:12 which would not have been a big deal if the waiting environment was better.
We almost walked out but finally the doors opened to expose a charming little restaurant.
Our lovely server immediately greeted us and asked if we would like a drink.
I am asked about any specialty drinks and was told they have wine from a local winery so I opted for a soda.
But then the food started coming.
The most delicious buffalo mozzarella hand rolled sticks, potato leek soup that was divine! I had the blackened grouper with asparagus and risotto husband had pasta with meat sauce and a beautiful key lime pie for dessert.
The restaurant was a great experience I am giving 5 stars on the food and service alone and I am glad we didn’t leave.
for the price point I would have preferred to not hear the tavern noise.

Here from out of state and we were told this place was great so we stopped in.
Absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious, I had the mushroom pasta, my friend is a vegan and they had great vegan options for her.
She got the veggie flatbread and it was wonderful.
The staff was incredible and so nice and welcoming.
Maggie, the owner, stopped by our table and was just the sweetest!! Definitely coming back next time we are in town!

Went today for lunch.
What an awesome experience.
The server was so friendly and full of information.
Food was fresh and hot! Chicken and Waffles that my husband had was so delicious.
I had the fried Shrimp could not eat them all.
Will be back to try the dinner.
