    My husband and I have been going to Cotton for many years and despite the 50min drive to get there, it is still our favorite restaurant! Great food, service and atmosphere. We consistently have an outstanding dining experience! Thank you to Cotton for excellence! If you haven’t tried Cotton, it’s well worth the trip!

    Cotton is one of our favorite restaurants in Manchester, NH. The menu always has great choices. The service, ambiance, value and vibe are top notch. The wait staff are attentive; always checking on us at the right time, never imposing. We have introduced many friends to Cotton and they all rave about the food and experience. Many thanks to Cotton for consistently impressing us.
