Opened in 1990, Magnolias was a forerunner in upscale Southern cuisine, igniting a culinary renaissance in the city that formed the foundation of the food scene today. Offering a refined take on traditional Southern cooking that can be enjoyed in a warm, sophisticated environment, Magnolias serves a menu that reflects the soul of the South with dishes like the Grits and Shellfish of lobster, shrimp, and sea scallops in lobster butter sauce with creamy white grits, and the Down South Egg Roll stuffed with collard greens, chicken, and Tasso ham. Magnolias offer private dining in two elegant dining rooms in the Upper-Level Gallery directly above the restaurant which boasts a separate entrance on historical Lodge Alley and a stylish lounge area ideal for private functions and events. Magnolias is open for lunch and dinner, Monday through Sunday, and brunch on Sunday.
