    Magnus is always a great experience. Food is complex and satisfying. Cocktails - we can’t get past the Couch Surfer, slightly spicy & in a beautiful glass. Service is helpful & friendly. Although we love the outdoor patio on this cold night we found the interior to be cozy & attractive. Thank you for a lovely experience; we will be back.
