Need a reservation which we didn't have, but the hostess said we could sit at one of the tables in the bar....fine with us! We didn't need the white linen tablecloth...it's about the food. The food is excellent, the restaurant is beautiful with Magnolia decor of course. It's not a huge restaurant..hence the reservations. We had an excellent waiter, so... More

Food and service is superb . One of our favorites in Charleston. The sauces make the meals and I like the location.

My wife and I spent a lovely weekend in Charleston and had a very memorable meal at Magnolias. We had a short wait at the bar and the restaurant was hopping.

We enjoyed our dinner. I had the Parmesan crusted flounder and my husband had duck breast. Would definitely recommend magnolias even though the service was a little slow.

A perfect combination of really engaging service, great menu, and fun atmosphere. Our food was really delicious and make sure you don't miss the down south egg rolls.
