This is Magnolia Grill after 20 years. In 1986 we set out to create a neighborhood restaurant in an unassuming converted grocery store on the corner of Ninth and Knox Streets in Durham, NC.Our concept was straight-forward; punchy, market-driven, seasonal cooking; layers of flavor with a Southern sensibility and an international influence; congenial, cordial and informed service; diverse and intriguing wines and lastly, a lively, relaxed yet still sophisticated atmosphere.
