Mägo is a family owned and operated fine dining restaurant from Chef Mark Liberman. We offer an exciting tasting menu cooked over wood fire, offering our take on Contemporary Colombian fare, anchored in an understanding of using Northern California ingredients, simple flavors in bold combinations.

Our tasting menu focuses on ingredients that are at their most peak in deliciousness .This usually means produce that is in season, which in turn means they are their most flavorful, which is one of the reasons why we change our menu daily. In order to ensure the proper planning of your evening, please allow for 2.5 hours.

We also offer an a la carte dining experience at our bar that is available for walk in guests.

The restaurant’s informal atmosphere features an open kitchen surrounded by intimate tables, outdoor heated garden patio and chefs counter seating. From the warm greeting you receive upon entering until your final goodbye, we invite you to feel at home.

    I made a reservation for the tasting menu to enjoy with my husband and parents visiting from Korea. The food was as comforting as it was elevated, and the beverage pairings were all fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to treat their loved ones to a creative meal that is also approachable; we all had a wonderful time.

    Food was PHENOMENAL. I will be back. The flavors married so perfectly. Everything I had, I loved. The baby coconut tostada was 10/10.

    Tasting menu with beverages on weeknight. We went with high expectations and the experience went beyond. A wide range of food and flavors were impressively creative and amazingly delicious, even simpler sides like smoked carrots were beautifully done. Great beverage pairing as well, what a craft with fig leaf infused cocktail. Special note is the restaurant felt spacious and each table got comfortable space in between. Thanks for that. The service team was attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable.

    Mago never disappoints. I have often dined there, each time there are new tastes, textures and presentations. The service is friendly, helpful and not intrusive, the sommelier is knowledgeable and always has new recommendations. You are never rushed through the meal or after, so you can enjoy your friends as well as the meal.
