My favorite restaurant of all time. My husband and I had our wedding reception here in the East Bay room. The staff is always fantastic, the music is always great, the food and drinks are always to die for. Is it cheap? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely 100%, totally yes. FYI please don’t be the person who shows up here in jeans or workout clothing.

Stop in at the bar for their famous burger and truffle fries. A good share while enjoying some evening jazz music.

Excellent dinner! Very pretty dining room. Service quite good! Appetizers good, broiled oysters, carpaccio especially. Smoked duck, Soft shell crab entrees very good. Brussels sprouts side veg served 5. Toffee pudding and pound cake strawberry shortcake delicious. Wine list and wine service exceptional. Our server Paula treated the table to complimentary glasses of bubbles to celebrate a special birthday. Would recommend highly.Dietary restrictions: Very helpful with GF options.

My husband and I had a fantastic dinner at High Cotton. The filet mignon along with the mashed potatoes and asparagus were delicious. The best part of the dinner was the service. We were treated very well and it made the evening feel special. Alpha, one of the managers along with our server, Alicia, were very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and provided wonderful customer service. The espresso martini was absolutely outstanding and the chocolate Mousse dessert cake was delicious. The ambiance in the restaurant was also perfect. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

The service we received this Saturday night was subpar at best. We had 2 different waitresses attending to our table, and since they weren’t communicating with one another, we were asked the same questions by each waitress a couple of minutes apart. So it felt like they were rushing us. Surprisingly neither waitress asked if we wanted another round of drinks until we were done with our entree….mind you we finished our drinks after the appetizers. Our lobster mac and cheese order was lost and it finally came to our table after we got done with our entree. So we sent it back. Overall, the food was good, but the service at this restaurant was the worst compare to our other Charleston dining experiences.

Food and service were perfect. Nice band playing. Great place for brunch! Mimosas with several types of juice. After you eat take a walk through the market.Parking: There’s a garage down the little street right across from the restaurant.

All is exceptional, food and service and the vibe. It would have been 5 star if the server had not taken my signed check from me and checked on the percentage of tip left on there, while we were still sitting there chatting.By the way the duck and snapper were really good.

Went for brunch and it was amazing! Our seat was right by the front window at 11am, our view included the street and the damaged sidewalk but the interior of the restaurant was all proper. I ordered their Irish Iced coffee ($12) which did not have any sugar but it did have delicious Jameson and coffee. I dined on the French toast ($13) that included two thick slices of bread which were almost custardy in the middle with candied nuts between the slices and two long smoked pieces of wonderfully cooked bacon. Divine! I finished every bite and then just wanted to relax on that happy Sunday morning.

Very underwhelmed for the price tag, especially in the New York strip. The service though was 10 out of 10.

I loved our time at High Cotten. But funny how my friend that was with me got a note thanking her for a visit when she only paid for a tab at the bar for drinks and I made the reseevation in my name and paid a $300 tab for dinner and didn't get any thanks. It's ok, even when I used to live here and chose this place to bring her! Brought her for her first time trip! Im glad you did that for her first time trip. Thx
