Dovetail Crafted Cuisine - Macon

I'm a tough critic, but last night's meal at Dovetail would have been a stand out in any city large or small. Really good meal. The cheese plate was anything but ordinary. The veggie plate roasted cauliflower, butter braised cabbage, butter beans, butternut squash slaw, kale chips and cornbread fantastic. Chocolate bark for dessert. Daryl says the blackened catfish was also very good. Gold star.

We were staying in Macon for a long weekend. I googled best places to eat in Macon and Dovetail came up. We had an amazing meal! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our server did a great job of providing recommendations. I recommend making reservations. We were lucky and were able to get a reservation same day. People without a reservation were told it was a couple hour wait. I highly recommend Dovetail if you are in Macon. We will definitely go back if we go to Macon again.

Enjoyed Sunday brunch and our first visit to Dovetail today and must say my hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it, from the **** Mary flight, to the basket of biscuits, steak and eggs, chicken benedict and cracked pie with salted caramel ice cream. Well worth the hour and a half drive and we'll definitely be back!

Came in from Texas visiting family that took us to this awesome restaurant. It started with great water, I know it may sound silly to mention the water but it was great! We had the deviled eggs and the put-ups for an appetizer that were both delicious. The bread and the all 4 types of spread had great flavor. The was pimento cheese, hummus, bacon jam, and a cream cheese concoction, all very tasty! I dont usually like hummus or pimento cheese and both of them were great. We had cocktails which were great, nice and strong so you only need one! Main entree, I highly recommend the shrimp and grits! I live near the coast in Texas, right on the gulf of mexico, and this was the best fried shrimp I have ever had! I am usually not a fan of grits so I was a little worried, and they were very rich, but with the delicious shrimp and the roasted corn relish, they were wonderful. My husband had the burger and fries and said it was great. My brothed had the fried quail and said it was delicious. It had a local hot sauce on it that had a great flavor. My sister in laws sea bass, she was not pleases with and was not able to eat part of it, saying it was undercooked. The mene also said asparagas tips and she was not too happy they came out fried. She figured ordering a lighter fish meal you wouldnt get fried sides. We moved on to dessert. We had the fudge brownie a la mode, cracked pie, and sweet potato creme brue lee. The brownie was extremely rich and the ice cream was delicious! The cracked pie was so good and had caramel ice cream which I am usually not a fan of but this was good. (I want the recipe!!! The sweet potato dessert was a little odd. The filling was cold while there were roasted marshmallows on top. If the filling was warm I think it would have been a much better experience. Overall I would come here again anytime I am in from Texas. Delicious food, loved the atmosphere, the food was delicous and the service was pretty good as well!

Incredible, inspired menu complete with a knowledgeable, motivated staff. The Cracked Pie is the stuff of legends. Cannot recommend this place enough.
