These last few blogs are back in time as I didn't take the effort to write for a while. The Chicken Kebab's were today Friday, Below Magnolia Grill experience was Thursday. After this I'll post our Topsail Island trip.
Went to Magnolia Grill on Thursday night. Awesome food.
We shared an appetizer a cold green tomato soup with lump crab meat topped with salsa. I was very tempted to get the twice baked grit souffle with fois gras... but decided to try something new (if you have never been this is a must have).
For an entree I had lamb with pomegranate glaze and some micro green, squash, green bean salad - really good but not great. Last time I had a Carolina Steel Trout with green peas - it was out of this world.
This time the wife had Salmon with fried okra, creamed corn, gumbo - her Salmon was out of this world. Have never seen such a perfectly cooked salmon and the creamed corn and fried Okra - wow!
For desert we had a Goat cheese brulee with pineapple chile glaze - yum! last time we had a grapefruit something it was better. This times was good too buy bit too heavy for me after the lamb.
The wine was a something d'Alba - an italian or spanish red - very smooth.
If you ever visit the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area Magnolia grill is a must go if you love good food. Here's the link the menu on the site changes only 3-4 times a year the actual menu changes quite often so don't go by the site: http://www.magnoliagrill.net/ the site is only a tease of something as good or better.
