The Magnolia Grill is not a restaurant for people who are afraid of flavor.Ben and Karen Barker serve some of the best food in the Triangle. To judge a restaurant based on whether chicken is on the menu is ludicrous. Ben Barker uses fresh seasonal ingredients and masterfully puts together dishes that are flavorful and interesting. Maybe that guy needs to get his wife to try different kinds of food. People who won't try squab or guinea hen instead of chicken should not be eating at the grill. They should stick to The Olive Garden.
Pros: fresh ingredients, great desserts, great wine list
