F16

Are you now in TV?

16, YES!

I found it to be absolutely charming with its antiques and lace doilies everywhere.Just a small charming quaint little place. The food was absolutely delicious. They lean towards southern home cooking and have many wonderful choices on the menue. A big thumbs up for this restaurant :coolsmiley:

Great!
 

Hi F-16, yes! Vetman and I went with Nonie and Bernie, HB and Syd and we all loved it! Guess that would be 6 thumbs up!!!! Let us know if you want to go when you're in town. We'll go back anytime!:thumbup:

Words of wisdom from our Lace Doilies Queen. :girlneener:

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!;)

I just heard about this restaurant today from a neighbor...she gave it very high marks...and now you all are talking about it.Wow. Guess I will have to go...it will be like going to Gramma's with the lace doilies.........

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::

I received an e-mail from a friend in Dayton OH who told me about it.

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.

Whoa! Never heard of that combo before.
:pepper2:

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.
Where is this place? Can we plan a night out?:icon_hungry:

OK, then. I guess that's south of the Mason-Dixon line. I'm officially lost --> Champion6... from Illinoiz

Hwy 301 running West of TV

Shrimp and Grits
 

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.

Let's be serious now, people. Does anybody really east grits? Really. Be honest. Actually eat them?

Okay, I clicked onthe link and went to the menu and it has a few things I have never heard of but sounded good. Any idea what Dixie Caviar and Redneck Nachos may be?

Paula Dean's Grits
 

Never heard of Redneck Nachos.

Wonderful Southern Food
 

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.

I love grits and polenta, and yes Kathie they are very similiar just depends how you cook them and what you add to them.

:icon_hungry:

Wonderful!
 

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.

I like my grits Al dente.........http://www.millan.net/minimations/sm...tchsmiley2.gif

Donnaloni!
 

"Ya Vinnie, you blend!" My favorite line from that movie! See what you're missing by not being here Donna? Cheese Grits! Yumm! Al Dente!

Hurry down sweetie! "All of us yoots miss you!" :girlneener:

Dont forget to make Reservations..
 

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.

Sounds lovely! I can't wait to get there to visit this quaint little restaurant...:crap2:
