Magnolias Southern Restaurant ·$$$

Located in historic Lodge Alley, one of the oldest streets in Charleston and a part of the French Quarter, Magnolias opened in 1990, quickly became a favorite of locals, and is still a place to see and be seen. Adorned with specially commissioned expressionistic oil paintings, it offers a variety of dining experiences, from the intimate Gallery to the bistro style Chefs Room. The menu concentrates on down south dishes with a sophisticated flair: Shellfish Over Grits and Carolina Carpetbagger Filet are just two of the many delectable offerings. Brunch is also offered on Sundays.

Magnolias is a Charleston staple, so I was really glad we were able to fit it into our trip, even if it was with a pretty late dinner reservation. By the time we sat down, we'd spent the entire...
