Our server, Carly, told us they only have one glass so we took that literally and assumed the rest of the small glasses were dirty. The second customer asked to have the .3L pour served in a regular glass. She said that was doable. When we got the check, we were each charged $8.00. We questioned Carly and she again said they only had one glass. Apparently she meant only one size pour but that's not what she said or what is on the menu. I realize it was only $4.00 more than we were expecting but that's not my point. Proper communication is a wonderful thing.

Exactly how you would assume your local brewery would be. However once we got there they asked if we liked to take the kids (4 under 3 year olds) upstairs into the game room. It ended up being the perfect for the kids to run around and play games! The staff were super helpful and attentive. The only downside of being upstairs is you're a little out of the way so not always serviced as quickly as you would be if downstairs.

We last dined at Magnus on the Water in Biddeford in 2024 and left saying we would be back…read more Tonight, we made good on that promise, and the experience was every bit as good as we remembered. My wife enjoyed a Phony Negroni mocktail, while I opted for a "Shoot the Messenger"--a shot of rye whiskey paired with a Narragansett beer. We shared yucca fries, a fall green salad, bluefin ceviche, and pepper-braised short ribs, all of which made for a delicious meal. We finished with a wonderful arroz con leche, the perfect ending to the evening. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and professional, and the overall experience was a delight. Magnus has clearly earned its place on our list of restaurants worth returning to, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. A couple of practical tips: reservations are a must, and finding on-street parking can be challenging. Both are well worth navigating for a meal like this!

My wife and I started going to Magnus during lockdown, right after we'd met. It was outdoor…read moreseating, you scanned your order via an app, and they'd bring your food out to a little table. And that more or less started a tradition with my wife and I of going in on birthdays and sometimes anniversaries. Sometimes, particularly in the dead of winter when all the tourists have gone from Maine, we go in just cuz. First of all, the menu and the cocktails. Just. F'ing. YUM. I'm a huge fan of the yuca fries which are crispy on the outside, perfectly soft inside, just the right amount of salt. The "Fall Green Salad" on the menu currently is just... It's a death wish meal. Like, if I'm ever on death row, and they're like "OK, buddy, what's the last meal you want?" It's going to be that salad. Well, maybe that and some lobster. ANYway the menu is generally small, which some people seem to take issue with, but changes regularly with seasonal foods, and all but the most picky of "Applebee's" fans will find something to enjoy. In other words, if you're expecting an eight page menu with low quality, bland food, this may not be the place for you. The presentation is always spot on, but the flavors? My god, I am just gushed over a salad? Yes. Yes I did. The sweetness with a nice bit of tart from the grapefruit, the slight bitterness of the radicchio, and then the curried pecans. This fantastic little crunch with the curry flavor and heat? Seriously. So freakin' good. The bartenders are wonderful and really know their stuff. Last night I saw a bottle I didn't recognize, which turned out to be creme de cocao. I've had DeKuyper and others, but this was so much better. I asked the bartender for a cocktail made from it and what she made.... *chef's kiss*. A tiny bit of coffee, some flavor from akvavit, some whiskey. It was so subtle, so delicious, and exactly my flavor pallet (I tend to be somewhat alcohol forward in my drink preferences). Whenever I'm in, I also order a "Last Word" since they always, always make them perfectly and it's difficult these days to find green chartreuse. The bartender very kindly explained to me what why his were generally better than what I made at home. And of course, the staff in general. We LOVE THEM. ALL of them. Magnus has a vibe, if you're a local in particular, similar to a neighborhood pub. The people get to know your face, they greet you warmly, they chat not just with you but with one another. It's clear, abundantly clear, that they like where they are. Parking is where you can find it on street in the area. We've never had any issues finding something within easy walking distance. The price, well lets face it, even going to eat at a local Irish bar these days is going to set you back, but for the current market I'd say it's average. We had three cocktails each, three appetizers, and one main dish for about $150, AND we had leftovers. BTW, refried yuca fries with over easy eggs? Perfect hangover food.

This morning, my wife and I finally planned to go check out their space for the first time. What more could you truly ask for than a cafe/coffee shop meets bookstore meets beer bar! My wife is more of an avid reader than I am so she enjoyed the book aspect more. They have a large menu of offerings drink wise with everything you'd expect from a coffee shop. I do wish they did a rotating seasonal special drink menu, as places usually have one or more great sounding drinks on those. Both my wife and I settled on an iced blueberry latte. Overall it had hints of blueberry and tasted more like milk than anything. Would not be rushing back for it specifically that's for sure. Food wise they have some in-house baked goods as well as bagels from Rose Foods and corssiants from Little Spruce Baking. My wife got a plain bagel with cream cheese while I grabbed a chocolate croissant. I did mess up by not requesting it be warmed up but it was still delicious! Will be finding more spots that have goodies from Little Spruce. The bagel was also tasty. Book wise my wife enjoyed browsing but did not find any books she needed to grab. She did enjoy reading a couple chapters of her current book while we sat by the large windows (good spot for world watching outside). We enjoyed our visit but have other spots we would be happier to visit again.

My favorite part is that it still feels part of the mill system while having an updated aesthetic. It doesn't feel out of place - it feels right IN place. I normally come here to have a beer or two with a friend & catch up when I'm in the area, I enjoy their beers & they usually have one or two new drinkable things kicking around on their menu - I have yet to try a beer I haven't enjoyed. They have a fairly decent menu but I typically stick to pretty common mainstays - I've never had a bad experience. Service is always friendly & attentive.

We had to park at the lot near the mill buildings and water and walk a pretty good distance to get to the restaurant but I guess I could use a few steps. Walked in it was very loud where they wanted to seat us under the canopy where there were some unruly bar patrons so they brought us to a quieter area. We sat for a long while before being greeted by our server. But we still wanted to give it a shot. We ordered poutine with portobello mushrooms and the three tables around us got their full meals before we got our appetizer. Then, she took our main course order and like the app, the food took forever and we are usually very patient. The server was super nice but just was very slow and the fries in the poutine were cold. The main course was a root salad that my wife thought was pretty good with turnips and vinaigrette. I had clam chowder and calamari/shrimp dish ... I paid almost 20 bucks for the calamari and got about 5 pieces and 4 small shrimp and the chowder had no flavor. We then asked for a box to put her salad in and the waitress forgot. Until she realized as she was dropping off the check. I don't think we will be back .. maybe just for the outdoor patio ambiance but, not the food.

The flavors are lovely and not overwhelming. Almost everything we tried was flavor forward with a mild finish. The staff at the bar, were super nice and welcoming. Very patient as customers waffled while deciding on a beer. They also can make suggestions if you aren't sure. We loved Flocktoberfest and were glad to be able to snag a case before they sold out. They have a few dedicated parking spots - which we lucked out in getting one. We will definitely be back.

Our server was so attentive and pleasant that I actually asked her if she was an owner. She treated us like we were the most important people who had walked through the door, even though the place was packed! The bartender obviously had his head on a swivel because, as soon as our drinks were getting low, he was right there asking if we wanted another. The food runner brought our meals with a friendly smile and joked with us about something. I honestly can't remember what he said, but I do remember that he made us laugh! And to top it all off, as we were walking out, another server who was outside called out to us, "I hope you all have an excellent night!" INCREDIBLE SERVICE!! How was the food, you ask? It was okay. I think everyone was happy with their meals, but I can tell you one thing for sure: It's the service that will bring me back the next time I'm in the area! As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I know how difficult it is to build a team that delivers this level of hospitality, especially when a restaurant is packed.
