This restaurant serves a diverse menu. Expect the average entrée to cost roughly $12 to $20, and dress casual.

What To Drink

Wines by the glass ($6-$9) range from a peppery Seghesio Zinfandel to a floral Alban Viognier. Servers are well-versed, and can steer diners toward complementary--and if requested, inexpensive--bottles from the selective list.

Editorial Reviews from the web

New Southern cuisine from this husband-and-wife team wows Durham, and beyond.

In Short Chef/owners Ben and Karen Barker masterfully create New Southern meals--a genre they helped define. Ben Barker's dishes resonate with simple, Southern-at-heart melodies. Entrees are riveting: tender, balsamic-glazed pork loin complements Italian cabbage and white beans, and roasted red snapper sings alongside bacon-dressed spinach. Karen Barker's desserts are an intriguing... more

Chef Ben Barker's combination of French technique and global flavors (with frequent nods to his native North Carolina) has garnered much acclaim. The bill of fare, which evolves with the season and with chef Barker's imagination, serves up temptations such as pan-seared Carolina wild striped bass in red wine-lobster jus, organic rabbit with fresh porcini salad, grilled pork rib chop in pear... more

The grandest dining experience in Durham and one of North Carolina's treasures, the Magnolia Grill, with its peach and dark-green interior, delivers old Southern charm with a degree of urban sophistication inspired not just by the region but by such faraway places as Thailand, Mexico, and the Mediterranean. The attentive staff brings attractive dishes from the kitchen, which produces a menu... more

So many people brag about this restaurant so I finally went for a try. Forgive my ignorance: reservation on the day is too late. Later I was told I should reserve 3 weeks in advance. Okay, my bad, but I was looking forward to the food even more!

We waited 45 minutes for our appetizer. Lots of dishes ran out by the time we ordered but magically became available when we left. Appetizers... more

We went to the Magnolia grill for our wedding anniversary, I have been there in the past and found the food to be delicious, and therefore we picked the place. We ordered the fresh tomato salad which was wonderful, but it all went downhill from there. The crusted grouper I ordered was overcooked, the crust a bit burnt and the fish dry, I complained to the waitress that it tasted bad, she talked... more

Big fish in a little snobby pond

In town for business? Save yourself the hassle if you're visiting Raleigh and spend your money where it is appreciated. This is just a big fish in a tiny pond. Servers are rude and unaccommodating.
When our 9 month pregnant guest asked for a menu modification, for obvious health purposes, the server simply answered, "no." I understand that menu changes from customers are annoying,... more
