“ BEST cocktails we have ever had. One of the owners was a bartender and makes the cocktails himself, and the whole bar team works together for inspiration of their cocktails. A must try! Food was on the expensive side but good! ”

“ A memorable dining experience in Biddeford, Maine. The atmosphere, food and waitstaff made for a pleasurable meal. Scott helped us choose two inspirational cocktails to start. My wife and I shared two small plates: Raddichio salad yuca fries and one large plate of braised short rib. For dessert, we each enjoyed a picarone, a sweet potato donut & pineapple-Montenegro sauce. Magnus on the Water is definitely on our “we’ll be back” list. ”

“ This place is a hidden gem in Biddeford. They are already on the map due to the James Beard nomination and well deserved. The drinks were extremely high caliber. I had 3 different types of old fashions and each was better than the next. They put a lot of effort and though into each cocktail and it shows. The drinks are inventive, well balanced, strong and subtle, and displayed very elegantly. I’d definitely go back ”

“ The best dinner I've eaten since moving to Maine a few years ago! The drinks, food, vibes -- everything was perfect. It was like I was eating at a top tier restaurant in NYC. Truly top tier. ”

“ Magnus is a truly special place that has become a beacon in the greater Biddeford area and beyond—for its nuanced and mouthwatering cocktails, consistently delicious and locally sourced food, and the amazing service and atmosphere. They have shown nothing but grace and thoughtful consideration for the safety of both their staff and their patrons, even in the midst of this pandemic in which so many businesses have had to shutter their doors. It is one of the few institutions that requires proof of vaccine in order to dine inside, a policy that they, as a privately owned business, have every right to enact and enforce. The Magnus crew has fostered an inclusive, welcoming and loving environment not only through their food and beverage program, but in their continued devotion to the well-being of their fellow community members—one of the countless reasons we choose to keep supporting them. ”

“ Don’t let this smaller menu fool you. Every course was unbelievable and also don’t skip the dessert. The rice pudding dessert was fantastic. In our group of 4 adults we were all so happy with our meals and would go back again in a heartbeat. This restaurant is misleading from the outside. You can’t see how pretty it is until you go in. The customer service here is also top notch. Don’t hesitate to come here. I’ve already recommended it to so many people. ”

“ Magnus on Water is a standout dining experience that truly elevates what’s possible in a small town. From the moment you walk in, the warm and stylish interior sets the tone, sophisticated yet inviting. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between upscale and relaxed, making it ideal for a special night out or just an evening to treat yourself. The customer service is impeccable; attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with clear attention to detail and quality ingredients. It’s clear that the team here cares deeply about both the food and the overall experience. Magnus on Water is a gem, and we’re lucky to have it in town. Already looking forward to our next visit! ”

“ Magnus on Water is one the best restaurants I've been to in many years. My wife and I were celebrating our 7 year anniversary and we couldn't have chose a better place. Our waitress was lovely and was happy to talk to us about the menu and offer thoughts and recommendations when asked. Each course was brought out with perfect timing that the whole ordeal felt like an event and not just a standard dinner, and each dish was unique and clearly crafted with great care and finesse. We also tried a number of their cocktails which were equal if not better than the food. I cannot recommend this place enough and I will certainly be returning. ”
