   Went to Magnus on Water for Valentine’s Day dinner, and it was fantastic. The pre fixe menu was excellent, drinks were equally impressive. Highly recommend.

   Have you seen the film The Menu? This place is kind of like that in the sense that everything is curated and purposeful. My experience felt like being in a stylish fancy restaurant run by family. I felt like I belonged their and experienced food and drink I've never had before and left with a new perspective on food and dining in general. It felt like being in a movie with how well everything went it was all very relaxing. I could keep going but if any of this interests do, do yourself a favor and check them out. Granted you will pay a bit for it but it's totally worth it for the experience.

   The food was creative and flavorful. Loved the roasted cabbage chapter one. Pulled chicken with rice was delicious. Soft heat. Will definitely return.

   Magnus on Water is one the best restaurants I've been to in many years. My wife and I were celebrating our 7 year anniversary and we couldn't have chose a better place. Our waitress was lovely and was happy to talk to us about the menu and offer thoughts and recommendations when asked. Each course was brought out with perfect timing that the whole ordeal felt like an event and not just a standard dinner, and each dish was unique and clearly crafted with great care and finesse. We also tried a number of their cocktails which were equal if not better than the food. I cannot recommend this place enough and I will certainly be returning.

   We sat at the bar and both men behind. the bar were friendly, helpful, & sociable. We started with the Magnus cocktail called, Couch Surfer. It's the restaurant's riff on a Margarita & the cocktail is a little bit spicy and has a luscious foam on the top. We also always have the yucca fries which are a generous serving of crispy, hot jagged pieces. We shared the radicchio salad which included marinated cherries and grapefruit along with something crunch & delicious. We also shared the Lomo sandwich, shaved beef on a toasted bun drippy with goodness and a yummy sauce. The manager opened a bottle of bubbly to pour me a single glass which was unexpected & very much appreciated. Thank you, Magnus on Water for a lovely evening!

   Magnus is an absolute GEM. I can’t believe we have a restaurant so fantastic so close to home. Everything about MoW is delightful. I’ve been with just my wife and also with larger groups and the experience is always wonderful. The menu is dynamic, the service is friendly and helpful, and the cocktails are chef’s kiss. Absolutely love this place.
