Went here for my anniversary and we loved everything. The atmosphere was amazing, our waiter Brian was THE BEST, and the food was fresh and cooked perfect. We will definitely be returning!

Always a great meal, have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Great drinks, best apps in town and a top notch staff.
We've been to Cotton maybe a half dozen times in the last couple years and the food and drinks have always been delicious no matter what we've ordered. Cotton is probably our most-recommended restaurant in the Manchester area.
Our server, Louise, was fantastic. Very attentive and entertaining.

The Butternut Ravioli dish was described as served with sage- brown butter and, while it was prepared well and *technically* as described, one would expect more "sauce" with ravioli. The butter should be amped up to be more significant, like a true sauce. Otherwise it just ended up being glammed up buttered noodles. Cocktails were outstanding, as were the tuna and calamari appetizers.

Food was good, not great. Steak had to be sent back as undercooked. Too much fat in the steak as well. Carrots seemed shriveled, very strange look and texture. Salad was good. Overall it was decent but just not wowed.

I love dining at Cotton! It is evident that their menus are carefully curated so that each dish is of extremely high quality. My favorite is the sea scallops with sweet potatoe hash, but everything there is supreme!

Prompt and friendly service, food was nicely prepared and tasty. The menu is varied and appealing. Very good restaurant.
I've had the Old Fashioned in many restaurants, across many states, and in different countries, but Cotton makes the best.The service is bona fide. I've seen the same people working here over the years, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy providing you with their fine cuisine.The hours of operation are very limited, but their menu is indisputably delectable. Just like Dorsia in the award winning movie, "American Psycho", you're absolutely going to want a reservation here... But walk ins are totally possible.
The Maître D was awesome. She went above and beyond to secure a table for my date and I. The restaurant and bar were packed but she had a nice cozy table on the side for us. Great experience and the grilled Salmon and Expresso Martini were excellent!

We always have a great meal at Cotton. The Caesar salads are huge. The salmon was to die for. The popcorn shrimp was perfect and the toasted coconut martini was awesome. Keep up the fantastic work! This is one of the finest restaurants in New Hampshire!

Highly recommend Cotton. The staff, especially our waiter Joe, the ambiance and most importantly the food were all amazing! Made for a wonderful evening. Not our first time at Cotton and it won't be our last. If you are looking for a restaurant that always is spot on, you never have to wonder if it's going to be good! Trust me it always is that good!

"I love the relaxed vibe! Staff was super friendly and helpful when I changed my table reservation to a couple seats at the bar instead as my intended guest could not make it to celebrate their birthday dinner. The goat cheese app along with wine and martinis was just enough for starters and the chicken satay was delicious, portions were pleasing and more than enough to take home for a snack the next day! Enjoyed a bird's eye view of the beautiful and large portion dinner plates that were being served to the right and to the left. I am already planning my next trip to try more dishes and celebrate my friend's birthday in style. Servers were attentive, great selection of wines and interesting cocktails offered. I'll be back soon for sure!

We love this restaurant; however, we don't get there as often as we would like. It is usually very booked up ahead of time. The food, quality, and prices are all very reasonable. Service was great, staff very friendly.
