    Cotton promises excellent comfort food, and it delivers. Good bread, reasonably good wine list. Very well prepared food.

    As always, Cotton never disappoints. Peaches is always friendly, welcoming, and knows exactly who we are when we walk in the door. Our server, Brian was great and gave exemplary service. The food is always spot on thanks to Chef Jeff and his outstanding kitchen staff.

    The salmon was great. The steak was ok and the mashed potatoes were filled with too much pepper. Service was great.

    Cotton Restaurant is hands down the best restaurant in town. We dine there at least once a month. From the moment we walk in, the wonderful ambiance is captivating. Guests are always greeted with warm smiles which sets the tone for a memorable evening. The staff at Cotton are exceptional. Servers are always attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. The service is always seamless, with just the right balance of attentiveness and discretion. Every dish is a masterpiece, beautifully presented and every bite is bursting with flavor. Cotton always exceeds our expectations. It is a culinary gem. We highly recommend Cotton Restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in the city. It truly is the perfect atmosphere for any occasion -- an experience worth savoring.
