"Magie has temporarily overtaken Lagniappe as the wine bar of the moment, and getting a table here on the weekend is now a status symbol. Swarms of twenty-somethings pace around on the hunt for a comfy Victorian couch. They’re too late. The punctual groups of thirty-somethings in oversized blazers already took the best seats and are on their second round of caviar-topped dino nuggets, which are, of course, already on their Instagram stories. Yes, Magie’s new Coconut Grove location is just as dramatic (and we’ve yet to find an open table)." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, julia malave
