Mother’s Day Brunch Wonderful experience! Great selections from omelettes and French toast to prime rib and sliced ham as well as salmon and chicken Don’t forget everything in between!! I would have like my prime rib a letter more on the rare side- but still was tasty with the cognac au jus Highly recommended!

This was my fourth time going to Cotton, and it's been consistently great every time. I've had a different server each time, and they've all been friendly, knowledgable, and polite. The atmosphere is always great, and you can easily have a conversation without being drowned out by other patrons. The food is absolutely amazing, and it's easily the best value for money I've had.
