About Us
Magpie offers menus inspired by the fresh, high-quality ingredients available to us seasonally, with an emphasis on those from Northern California. Our food celebrates the idea that a meal should combine the simplicity of quality with the complexity of variety.The Yellow-Billed Magpie is native to the Sacramento area, and is the only bird found solely on the California mainland. It is easily identifiable by its bright yellow bill and contrasting black and white coloration.
