    On a rainy spring evening in Portland, Magissa's bright and charming space was a nice reprieve. Our table was the closest to the hostess stand, which would not have been an issue, except that a person was being trained and we were close enough to join in that training (a bit distracting). Beyond that, we had a very good meal, including original cocktails, spanakopita appetizer (four were perfect to share between two), lamb gyros, and perhaps our favorite menu item - roasted carrots. We will definitely be back! Maybe next time we'll pick up a couple tasty gyros to take to the Eastern Promenade, once summer arrives. Bon appetite!

    Magissa is amazing! Food is creative yet traditional, and the quality is top notch. Authentic taste; the chefs are to be commended. Service was wonderful! Arrangements made through Open Table were efficient and thorough. I was impressed with the professional tone and kindness received when interacting with the staff, both before we arrived and during our meal. Thank you! Please stay in business!
