Scenes from the Summer’s Over Plant-Based Dinner Party!
We love our community and were very excited for a great turnout (& a fairly long waitlist, sorry to everyone we could not squeeze in). A huge thank you to Ronald Fast for driving down from Austin to knock out dinner service. Thank you to Chef Brian for working long hours to make this tasting menu happen. Thank you to our lovely staff who make these services go smoothly. Most important, we appreciate everyone who came and dined- vegans, vegetarians, & meat-eaters, alike. We love throwing parties like this, so thanks for letting us keep doing these events.
If you missed this round, it will be back!

What people say
The Magpie, located on E Houston Street in San Antonio, is a new American restaurant that offers a unique and freestyle dining experience curated by chef Sue Kim. With its inviting atmosphere and delicious food, The Magpie has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
One of the standout features of The Magpie is their commitment to providing exceptional meals made entirely from scratch. This dedication is evident in their Thanksgiving To-Go offering, where they offer a complete feast for two people. From the deboned Roast Turkey with butter and fresh herbs to the luxuriantly-refined Turkey Gravy made from house-made stock, every dish is crafted with care and attention to detail. The stuffing, made from Magpie Milk Bread, adds a delightful twist to the traditional Thanksgiving meal. And let's not forget about the Robuchon-style Mashed Potatoes whipped to absolute smoothness with butter or the roasted root vegetables served with gremolata and Magpie Romesco sauce. The Cranberry and Sour Cherry dressing adds a tangy and flavorful touch to the meal. To top it all off, The Magpie offers a whole Pecan Pie with a 100% butter crust that will satisfy any sweet tooth.
Aside from their Thanksgiving offerings, The Magpie also hosts special events like their rare Sunday dinner service on Christmas Eve. This event invites everyone to join their commiserative Magpie family in raising a glass to the spirit of universal humbuggery while enjoying delicious food amidst twinkling lights. In addition to their regular menu, guests can indulge in nog and a delightful holiday punch. It's an opportunity for Grinches to feel right at home while Santa fits are optional but encouraged.
The Magpie's commitment to quality extends beyond just their food offerings. They create an ambiance that enhances the dining experience by playing Christmas music non-negotiable during their special events. This attention to detail creates a warm and festive atmosphere that adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal.
Whether you're looking for a special holiday feast or a unique dining experience, The Magpie on E Houston Street is the place to go. With their freestyle kitchen and chef Sue Kim's culinary expertise, you can expect nothing but exceptional food and an unforgettable dining experience.
