Your blogger had a birthday and she picked Magpie. They have recently moved their baking operation offsite to the Yellowbill Cafe that they opened. Which let them take out their salad cold case and make more room for tables. Which is good because we showed up with 17 people! It was still a bit of a juggle to get table space, but they are just so nice and helpful that it all worked out.

Three orders of the pork belly appetizers with persimmon and frisee showed up as a gift from the kitchen. Damn it was tasty and so very nice of them. Seriously they treat us so well. Another big hit that night was the pot roast which is enough for two! I had the mixed veg plate which always seems pricey, but I never regret getting it. A large amount of fun, delicious and unusual vegetables are roasted and perfect.

They have a nice wine and beer selection to go with their amazing food and the bread pudding is especially good for dessert. A wonderful night of drunks, drinks and delicious food. I love this place.
