Came in for a late Thursday lunch during the off-hours , and the service was still completely on point. Super attentive staff from the moment we walked in. We started with the seasonal citrus and beet salads—both tasted amazingly fresh and crisp. I saw a few new menu items and tried the Snake River steak, which turned out delicious and cooked perfectly. My wife got her go-to salmon and loved it as always. Wrapped things up with a solid crème brûlée and gelato. The place looks great, too. You can tell they keep updating the decor, and the vibe is easily one of the best around. Passed a big group of Googlers heading out as we walked in—it really is the go-to spot for Silicon Valley business lunches. Always a great experience here, already looking forward to the next visit.

We are always welcomed like family by the reception desk. The bartenders are exceptional. The wine list is wonderful especially when you are guided by the Sommalier. the chef is constantly adding new and innovative dishes. It’s always a culinary adventure .

A wonderful evening of creative dishes, thoughtfully paired with cocktails by Nick Wu. A special thank you to Nick for crafting alcohol-free pairings just for me. Such a lovely and memorable dining experience!

Mago means magician, and both the head chef-owner Mark Lieberman and the wine steward Stephen Shafer are true magicians. Fabulous Michelin-star level food in what is essentially a friendly neighborhood restaurant, a local treasure.

Fun ambience, friendly attentive staff, mostly reasonable prices. The cocktails are incredible. My friend and I each had a burger and it was outstanding. The snack plate was a fair deal and included popcorn, olives and assorted cheeses. The staff treated us like family and were always smiling and friendly.

    The mother's day experience was perfect. Just what we were looking for. Outdoor dining with awesome ambiance and a live jazz trio whom were amazing. The servers were very gracious and able to accommodate our needs and comfort moving shades for us to make sure our comfort was just right. The spread was equally impressive as well and had a good variety of things. Our experience at the restaurant definitely has us wanting to come back again to try the restaurant on it's regular menu since this was our first time here for the special mother's day event. We will be back. Thanks for putting the special event on as it felt special for our family.
