    Exceptional cuisine and dining experience. Popcorn shrimp and salmon were delightful. The Coffee is dark and flavorful. Fantastic attentive friendly service and ambiance. The menu offered numerous entrees paired with tantalizing sauces to catch your attention. This is a definite do over during my next trip to Manchester.

    We thought the food was excellent, the service was excellent, the place was beautiful. However, I think those small tables are too close together with the booth situation.. it doesn’t feel very private when you’re trying to have a romantic one on one dinner and you have somebody sitting 11 inches to the left and right of you. Maybe a redesign would be best. It looks like the seating by the bar would be where I would want to sit next time because you have glass separators giving you privacy. Also, I noticed you had it in the corner. Maybe if you catered the whole restaurant that way you’ll find that everybody would be a lot happier.

    Cotton is our go-to for a fun night out that is more upscale without being too highbrow. Excellent cocktail options and though the menu doesn’t have a ton of offerings, each entree is delicious and the value is 100% there for what you get and pay for. Cotton is a fine night out without breaking the bank! Save room for the bananas foster bread pudding!

    Wonderful restaurant! Food is fresh, delicious and high end. The only complaint is tables for 2 are too close together. To get up to use restrooms you are cheek to cheek. Otherwise 5 stars all the way.
