Cotton is one of those restaurants where we can always count on a great meal. Servers are always nice, the food is always great, and the prices on the menu are incredibly fair, relative to the quality of the food served.
If you are looking for the classiest joint in town with the best food you’ve ever had, look no further! Had the best time here with friends and can’t wait to go back.
We came here on a "friends night out". The service was exceptional, the atmosphere was perfect for a gathering of friends, and the food was really really good. It was quiet enough that you could hear everyone talk, which is rare. The food came out rather quickly.
The service from a waitress, whose name I unfortunately don’t remember, was great. She was fun and friendly, and we really liked her!
We went to celebrate our anniversary on a Friday night. Everything was perfect. We were seated right away. Our server, Brian was attentive and personable. They even brought us out two glasses of champagne. It is one of our favorite places to go.
Cotton is a fantastic spot in Manchester! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with creative dishes that really stand out. The service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is welcoming and stylish, perfect for a casual meal or a special night out.
Made reservations which I'm very glad we did because it's a small restaurant and they were jampacked and we had reservations for 4 PM. We originally planned to have it for six but they were already packed and we called the day before, the area that this restaurant is located in. You would not think that it would be a top notch restaurant and have as many people as it did
Great evening at Cotton celebrating my wife's birthday. We started with excellent pot stickers and crab cakes. My wife's turkey schentzel was very good as was my jambalaya. The lemon Italian was a great finisher. Thanks to Nicole for the great service.
I am not sure I’ve ever give a restaurant 5 stars across this board but this place deserves it. I feel like it’s rare to get great food, great service and great ambiance anywhere these days, but not here at Cotton. It was all fabulous. The food was delicious and comforting. The service was also great. ALL of the staff were so genuine. I observed 3 different servers and they were all amazing with their guest. I was blown away. The outdoor patio was adorable and cozy. Highly recommend.
My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner last weekend. Everything was absolutely delicious! We loved everything about this place and we will definitely be back. We went on a Sat night and made reservations 2 days prior. We wer sat right away and got drinks in a reasonable amount of time. Our dinner also came out without too much of a wait. Waitress was friendly and food was SO good! I got Goat Xheese raviolies and they were probably the best raviolies I've had in a very long time. My husband got the Delmonico steak and it was cooked perfectly Med/rare that he asked for. Dessert was apple crisp cheesecake. Loved the whole experience!
