    Our meals were absolutely outstanding. We favored the specials and had the famous martinis too. Potions are generous and the food prep was creative and excellent. Highly recommend! We will return for sure.

    If you are within 50 miles of this restaurant and can get a table, you'll do yourself a huge disservice if you don't take advantage of what Jeff & Peaches (husband/wife and chef/hostess) provide their customers. We've been coming back again and again for probably 15 years and they always exceed our expectations. Menu is varied with something for everyone...food is always exceptional...service team is wonderful...ambiance is great with subdued lighting and plenty of "quiet". If you had ten stars in your rating system, that's where Cotton would rank ! Tom & Pam

    We always have a great meal at Cotton. Tonight I had the goat cheese ravioli - it was delicious. A nice varied menu - there’s something for everyone. Our server, Brian, was personable, professional and attentive.

    Dropped in after our table reservation at another restaurant was given away. Have not been here in yrs as it is always packed! Place wasn’t busy as it was early. Sat down, waitress was right by. Appetizer- RI Calamari was excellent! Drinks were excellent and reasonably priced. Entrees were Bistro Steak -med rare (it wasn’t but still very good) Heritage Tomato Salad with Scallops- very good. Dessert- lemon cake and a great tasting pistachio martini!!!! Very nice evening. Will have to make it a regular stop again! Worth the drive for sure!

    With the exception of the scallops being a little too salty. Our meal was excellent. Drinks were inspired. Staff was friendly and accommodating.
