Bare,
Not there physically but my appetite is always on the move. "LACE DOILLIES"? At first I thought it read "Dollies" I'll refrain from comment.

Sorry Topicop .. I apologize for the hijack. :police:
Nonie, just be sure you don't stuff any of those lovely lace doilies in your pocket! I know that you find them irresistable.

Nonie. I can crochet. I grew up with doilies all around me. I am sure it is like riding a bicycle, crocheting doilies must be in my DNA. I will make you lots of Doilies. Oh Nonie, You will be so happy!;)

Beady, you dont have to go that far, comming to my house is like going to Grandmas, I just cant offer you anything to eat 'cause kitchens and I dont get along!!!
Gracie, How sweet of you to offer to make me doilies!! However I think my better half would hit the roof because he just made me sell a gazillion doilies at the auction. Anything I bring in this house from here on has to be snuk in( is that a word)? and hidden before he gets home. :sigh::

Went there for my birthday in January. I had shrimp and grits (fantastic) and my husband had country fried steak. Sorry we did not have room for dessert since the cakes looked out of this world.

I didn't hear of it either until I came to the south. Sounds really good, and lots of people love it here. I took a small ship cruise through the southeast and they served it one night for dinner. I was so shocked but I've seen it here in FL many nights as a special. I love grits (NY style of course, lol)

My Mother & Grandmother made doilies and handkerchiefs too (Spelling?)
I can crochet but never made doilies, hats, scarves and blankets were my thing,

Shrimp & Grits is a Low Country specialty, the Carolinas do it best.

Shrimp and Grits are the best (especially if served on a bed of collard greens!!)- I was about to drive back to SC to
get some which would be easier than my trying to duplicate it!!!
Can't wait to try the Cotillion Cafe.

I have had dinner at the Cotillion Southern Cafe many times and always enjoyed it. If you go there you must know that they do not serve any alcohol but do allow you to BYOB at $2.50pp.The menu is small, but it does seem to have something for everyone. The shrimp and grits are with cheese grits and while I was not a 'grit fan' this combination is awesome. With the dinners you get soup or salad - they only have one salad dressing - a homemade almost poppy seed like - you can buy the dry mix at the restaurant to make at home. The entrees are in the $12-$16 range with the crab cake platter and seafood platter a little higher, so it is not cheap eats. They also have some sandwiches and dinner salads in the $10 range, but I have never tried one. You simply must try the desserts even if you have to get a slice to go. Definitely two thumbs up - but remember it is southern food and not for someone on a diet.

The cheese grits there are wonderful! Vetman even loved them and he doesn't like cheese or grits!!!! Go figure! :laugh:
Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but you should have reservations. There are not that many tables and I've seen them turn people away.

We went just a couple weeks ago, food was great. Very small place so make sure you call ahead just in case. I guess you can walk in and take a chance...I don't know but the couple we went with advised reservations so we did.
Save room for a desert...Oh yeah!!!:o

We tried this restaurant today and got right in, but it was after 2:00 pm.
The grits were the best I have ever had. The fried shrimp was pretty good.
But, the cakes are the best. My husband & I shared hummingbird cake - it was great. I came home and looked up the recipie which I will store with all the other recipes I am going to make some day. We will definitely go there again. We did get the only open table at 2:00 pm. Portions are large - I noticed most people had take out boxes with them when leaving. It is definitely not low calorie, but kind of a special place.

Went there for lunch yesterday. Had shrimp salad on a flaky croissant and sweet potato fries. And based on previous recommendation saved room for dessert. Key Lime cake, yes cake, to die for. Will definitely go back. On my favorites list now.

We stopped by accident one evening. When I walked through the door I thought that I had gone back in time. What a lovely place. The service was first rate and the food was home made. Great place.

Got there at 6 PM with 3 other people inside. Ordered Fried & Baked Chicken. Mrs had baked with mac/cheese. I had mashed taters and green beans. The mac'n cheese had a peculiar taste. Potatoes with gravy good, both chicken meals were good. I think the chicken was a flattened breast. All white meat anyway. Got yellow cake with coconut icing to go. 2 house salads were delicious. I don't like salad. 2 cokes for bev and fried green tomatoes for starter. Forgot about them. They were OK. Over all food was just OK. Nothing to rave about. Bill was $49 and change. Service was great.
Will we go back? Yeah but no time soon. Got too many country clubs in TV that we haven't tried.
