I have nerves been a fan of collard greens- but these were exceptional. I liked the bisque well enough. There was a good wine list for pairing. Service was good. It is a little loud when there is a tu house.

Came here after dinner elsewhere because I just had to have the down south egg rolls and wasn’t sure when else on our short trip I would be able to get over there. They are delicious! Also tried a newer chocolate mousse dessert and it was one of my favorite desserts I had in Charleston.

We celebrated our 42nd anniversary at Magnolias Restaurant in Charleston, and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, everything was outstanding — the food, the service, and the warm Southern atmosphere. Our server, Armando, went above and beyond to make the evening extra special. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor — the Gumbo and the daily fish dish which was flounder, you could taste the care and quality in every bite. Thank you, Magnolias, for helping make our anniversary one we’ll never forget! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Charleston!

Very nice evening. Well appointed dining room set with linen. Started with crab cakes, which were perfectly prepared. The Fall Salad was also outstanding. Entree was the vegetarian plated which is something I rarely order at a nice restaurant, but it did not disappoint. Large array of veges, presented beautifully, and seasoned to perfection. The pecan pie was to die for. Will def add this restaurant to my return list the next time Im in Charleston

Went here on my Birthday weekend and it was great! Prompt service, fresh seafood, and a pleasing ambiance! I had the Blue Crab Bisque and the Lowcountry Bouillabaisse. Both were exceptional and the Firefly Arnold Palmer was delicious. It is a little pricey but I would definitely recommend this to anyone going here that wants a romantic or upscale dining experience. I did make reservations so I'm not sure what walk-in availability is like.

Perfect end to a hard day of traveling. I had the chicken substituting the corn and tomatoe salad for the mac and cheese… it was so good. The collard greens were excellent as was my healthy portion of chicken. Reese was our waiter and his service was above and beyond.

My wife and I drove to Charleston to see family and Magnolias was on our list of restaurants to try. I'm glad we did, the food alone was worth the trip. My wife had the buttermilk fried chicken and i had the bourbon BBQ pork chop. The service great and I have ZERO complaints about our experience.

The Fried Green Tomatoes is practically an entree in itself...
white cheddar & caramelized onion grits, country ham, tomato chutney, tomato butter MY OH MY these are the best FGT that I have ever had! You must try them, so much flavor! For my main course the Parmesan Crusted Market Catch was flounder with
creek shrimp & jasmine rice pirloo,
warm asparagus, sweet corn & tomato salad, citrus beurre blanc and boy was it spectacular! The Spicy Shrimp & Sausage with tasso gravy, creamy white grits was just as amazing.
