   We had a celebratory lunch after our legal ceremony and the staff were so kind and helpful from the outset. We felt so spoilt and well looked after. The food was delicious and our guests really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back.

   Really enjoyed eating here food was good and definitely would recommend getting a cocktail or two . (They are amazing) Staff were very attentive and gave details on what to expect from the food which was appreciated . The only thing I’d have chosen differently would be the number of courses or sides I had with the meal as left a little hungry .

   Magentastique - this is the second time we have been. The food is superb, excellently prepared, beautifully presented and the staff were 100% kind considerate and attentive. Would recommend to everybody. Special thanks to our server who unfortunately was on a break when we left

   Firstly, just want to say that the staff at Magenta were uniformly excellent in their service, attentiveness and hospitality - bravo! As for the meal...admittedly I may have chosen the wrong items on the menu as my friends' dishes were very good, but mine were just fine. Presentation and texture were all very good, but somehow it tasted slightly bland - I felt this way about both the salt baked celeriac and the flexi chocolate ganache. However, the slow cooked pig jowl and flexi chocolate ganache with honey ice cream my friend ordered were delightful. So I would still definitely recommend this place since the quality is definitely high and the service is so wonderful - and the location is important as well, as in the King's Cross area there aren't so many truly great fine dining options. Will come back!

   A very creative menu, beautifully presented. Service was excellent throughout. Wine perhaps a touch on the expensive side. Liked the hors d'oeuves beforehand and petit fours at the end - always such a lovely touch.

   Beautiful and stylish restaurant serving delicious and "pretty" plates. Service was professional, attentive and friendly, including noting that we were celebrating a special occasion so providing a little extra treat. Hard choices for the menu as we could have devoured all of it!! And loved the charcoal bread. Lovely night had by all.

    Excellent food with a very high standard of craftmanship. At the level you would expect in much more expensive and exclusive restaurants. The spaghetti alla chitarra, with sea urchin, were sublime!

    Went here on a whim on a Saturday evening, just because it was highly rated and nearby. We were not disappointed! The service was superb with very attentive and knowledgeable staff on service. The food was really good quality and the choice was very good too. When it comes to value, there is no doubt that this was not a cheap place to eat. I would say that the value did reflect the quality of the food and the service.

    Overall good. Very promising appetisers, main dishes were good without being extraordinary, yet the desserts were simply fabulous . Very kind service yet I would have however appreciated spontaneous explanations about the dishes that were being served.

    Service was awful - they kept rushing us with every course, taking the plate before we'd finished. We were only 2 people, we weren't taking our time at all, and the restaurant was only half full. It just felt rude and unnecessary

    A proper welcome into a good space (if a little unprepossessing outside--don't be put off!). Service was delightful and friendly, but a bit chaotic and a little slow. The food was very good and well presented (all 4 of us made different choices) with a good, but not too wide selection. The wine was also good, if rather expensive, but that's London dining. Would certainly return.

    Really quite good food (but not outstanding) let down by conspicuously poor service. Service was not attentive - and often slow. Waiter felt the need to explain what the courses were, which was strange. I would probably head over to the other parts of King's Cross, where the competition is strong. Perhaps that was why we could get a reservation at Magenta at relatively short notice?

    Modern industrial vibe, which manages to make splashes of horrible magenta look really good. The food quality and chef’s inventiveness are top-notch and well worth the usual London fine dining price tag. Also worth spending a few extra minutes to explore the wine list which contains a few unusual but sumptuous options.
