I love Cotton! Their food is consistently delicious and their drink menu has wonderful variety. Everyone I bring there thoroughly enjoys themselves and cannot wait to return. Keep up the wonderful customer focus and care. And another thing I love about Cotton....the overall ambiance is comfortable and a bit upscale without being stuffy. I love that you feel like a cherished guest and the hostess, servers and even bartender extend that level of care to each individual. Thank you -- keep up the wonderful work!

Service was attentive but not intrusive and never felt rushed. Both meals we had were delicious and nicely presented. Enjoyed 2 martinis. Nice atmosphere and although restaurant was full, the noise level was not bothersome as some reviewers mentioned, and I am someone who is sensitive to loud noises. I recommend and would go back.

Good service as always. The food was average this time. My calamari was very greasy. The crème brûlée we ordered was overly burnt on the top. All of the raspberry flavor was only on one side (maybe only a 1/3 of the dish) and was generally inconsistent. Our entrees were good (lamb and squash ravioli). Overall, the food was basically meh this time around.

Food was very good. Steak was prepared as requested. Partner had scallops, which was also rated very good. Service was slow. The scallop order was to be an appetizer, it came out as a main course. Big difference in price. If you want a reasonably quiet dinner and have a little space between you and the couple at the next table, this shouldn’t be your first choice.

First time going to Cotton. I took my wife for our 6th wedding Anniversary. The host wished us a happy anniversary, the server did too. Complimentary champagne. Brian’s service was beautiful. Very sweet guy. Food and drinks were spectacular. I’m a bartender with GNHR and I was blown away. I will rant and rave about Cotton
