Magnolias

French Quarter · Charleston

Also listed in: Over 50 Charleston

Magnolias reopened a damaged East Bay Street building in July 1990 after the Parsell family bought it in December 1989. The venue says the site appears on a 1739 map as Charleston's original Customs House and that the building was hurt in the 1887 earthquake. Kelly Franz is the culinary director. The upper-level gallery holds two private dining rooms.
