Magnolias - As Wonderful As You Expect It To Be!

Magnolias lived up to the hype! Don't read any further; just book your reservations now. For some reason, even before I knew about the all the wonderful attributes that Charleston has to offer, I knew about Magnolias.

I ordered their infamous Shellfish Over Grits for $30 and it was worth every penny.  The scallops, shrimp and lobster were perfectly prepared over creamy grits topped with an amazing buttery tomato sauce typically served with the dish. In fact, my mouth is still watering now just thinking about it. My husband had the Parmesan Crusted Flounder for $28 and it was delicious. The crust provided the lovely crunch to the delicate fish and was surrounded with the right sized portion of jasmine rice and assorted bite sized vegetables with lump crab. I highly recommend this entree as well.  The small plates with items like fried chicken and pork chop also tempted me and are big enough for a meal.  And, please, don’t skip dessert.  We thoroughly enjoyed the coconut cake bread pudding for only $8.  It was warm and delightful – full of true coconut flavor.  Total meal with two full entrees, 2 glasses of wine, 1 dessert and coffee was $97.52 before tip. Magnolias is still living up to its reputation!
