Malagon was a fabulous meal.
We had their sourdough bread, roasted carrots, lamb, paella of the day and their dessert special. Everything was fantastic. We can't wait to go back!

A cozy little tapas joint that feels a world away from noisy King Street, just around the corner. Friendly service, great wine list, and a delicious variety of tapas, and larger entrees, to share. Stay away from the big, lame, cookie cutter glorified gastropubs on King, and go here instead.
Be the first to ReplyThis is a tough review to write because I really wanted to
This is a tough review to write because I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, it would be really hard to recommend it; particularly to anyone who has been to Spain. My parents are Spanish immigrants and, although I was born here, I was raised in Spain until I was about six and then traveled to Spain to see family every year until I graduated from college after which I lived in Spain for a few years until I again moved back here. We still go back to see family regularly. I only mention this to highlight the fact that I am not a stranger to Spanish food and the delightful tapas of Spain. This restaurant, while it has many authentic Spanish items, is decidedly not Spanish in its execution. Our server was great. He did a fine job at being our server, but honestly, that was probably the best part of our experience. When he greeted us, the first words of his spiel were about how the restaurant serves its food "in the traditional Spanish tapas way." No, it most certainly does not.First of all, they don't offer you free bread. They have bread, but it's not the traditional crusty baguette "pan de barra" that you get all over Spain. Instead, they have a thick cut sourdough bread which tastes fine, but you pay $8.00 for four slices. In all of the literally hundreds of bars and restaurants I have been in in Spain (and Italy and France for that matter) nowhere has ever charged for bread, particularly not at a tapas joint.Secondly, the portions are small and outrageously priced. I've eaten enough boquerones to choke a killer whale in bars all over Spain. If you order them here, you will get three pieces (which add up to one and a half whole fish since they are split down the middle) and you pay $10 for them. They were presented very well but way too expensive. We put together a meat and cheese board and the portions of each, while still way overpriced, were pretty respectable. We had the chorizo, lomo, serrano ham and two cheeses. The cheeses were supposed to be on the firm side, but one of them, the Mahon, was dry and hard as a rock. We couldn't cut it with a knife without it splintering all over the place (there's probably still some behind the wine bottles that were next to our table). We had the grilled carrots which were cooked very well and tender, olives, and the octopus which had a nice char - but all at a much steeper price than they deserved.Third, while they do have a very extensive wine list (we paid $75 for a middling bottle of Albariño), they have no spirits (which might just be a liquor license issue) and they only feature one beer - which isn't even Spanish. No Aguila, no Estrella, no Mahou, nothing. They also offer one cider.To sum up, the pictures attached to this review (except the bottle of wine which is not pictured) set us back almost $300. No one in Spain has ever paid $300 for tapas unless they had a lot of people with them or they were ordering gambas rojas, percebes and angulas. The food may be imported from Spain (all of which anybody can get on-line), but the prices for what should be a casual appetizer snack are way out of line. Charging for bread? Get outta here.The bottom line: Yes the food is from Spain, but at these prices your money would be better spent actually flying to Spain and eating it there. It's not bad quality, but hard (if not impossible) to justify the bill.

Oh my goodness! This is a must do in Charleston!! Two Dixie sisters went on an adventure to this fantastic Spanish restaurant and it did not disappoint. Hotel Bennett recommended and the chorizo with honey app and the flank steak and the Abidabo chicken were amazing! Lyndsey took great care of us and we purchased goodies to go! Check this place out- not far from King street!
Be the first to ReplyWould definitely recommend a reservation as seating is
Would definitely recommend a reservation as seating is limited, but the food and staff were amazing. Very impressed by the food and wine selection offered. Looking forward to returning and trying other items.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious food and great service.
Definitely recommend the patatas bravas, sourdough bread, and tortilla española. Better than some of the ones I had in Spain! The padróns were ok, a bit one note and way too big of a portion, even to split. The cava sparkling white wine was terrific and the service was great, the waiter was informative and attentive. Will definitely be back!
Be the first to ReplyWe had such high hopes.
Small little place with great decor. It draws you in. It is Spanish tapas and a high quality wait staff. But...The tapas a tapas size, small. What you would expect. Except, most of the tapas are priced like a full plate. When compared to a non-tapas restaurant, to get the same quantity of food would be more expensive at Malagon. That's a bit reverse of tapas restaurants in Spain.But the worst part is that it was hit or miss. Crispy pork belly was simply charred and burnt. The clams (a $21 seafood entree) was the size of the tapas and the meat in the little necks was about the size of a large pea.Other items were fantastic. The marinated lamb and the innovative flan.All in all, it was nice to visit but won't go back.

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is great and the service is excellent. The food here is meant to be shared so it's a great social experience.

Great atmosphere, definitely felt like a little food and tapas place in Madrid. Service was terrific. Lots of fun Spanish wines to try as well.
Be the first to ReplyHonestly one of the best dinners I've had in Charleston.
The service was incredible--our waiter provided awesome suggestions, was open to answering all of our questions, etc. The tables were close but I personally loved that--felt like a sweet family restaurant. Everything was incredible, but the octopus and churros were just....
Be the first to ReplyReally enjoyed our meal here.
Great wait staff on a not-so-busy afternoon. Really do wish they'd serve some complimentary bread would be about the only negative. The roasted peppers were great, we loved the potatoes bravas and we enjoyed picking out the charcuterie board contents. Great space, even if it's a bit small. go enjoy for yourself!
Be the first to ReplyI'd have given it three stars, but, to be fair, we have had
I'd have given it three stars, but, to be fair, we have had some really good food in Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco and New York, so our bar is particularly high at this price point. The wine selection is good. Keep control of your waiter and don't let the him or her pour too aggressively -- they seem to be out to sell you a lot of food and wine here. The sour dough bread is unmatched. Top notch, best I ever had. Their squash was awesome. The olives were tiny, but of good quality. We were convinced to come in because they had paella, something we have grown to love, and hesitated to order other dishes because the staff warned that we might have to take some home. In retrospect, we'd have done well spending another twenty bucks to buy a few more dishes because the paella was a major disappointment. As you can see from the photo I uploaded, there are no shells to add flavor. There were a couple of rare ingredients, one a "nutty" seaweed (it had crunch, no flavor) and the other the cheeks of a particular kind of fish (I'd have preferred larger chunks of any kind of mild fish.) We easily devoured the modestly proportioned paella, happy for the rice, but otherwise underwhelmed. So, it's kind of hit and miss, which is not OK at this price point. I really should have given it three stars.
Be the first to ReplyAll of the tapas are amazing.
The Sobrasada and Zorza in particular are out of this world. Very intimate dining area which gives this place a different feel than a lot of places in CHS. Wait staff is great, and they have a nice wine selection.
