Story

In Manchester New Hampshire, when you talk about efforts to incorporate more local foods, most chefs will direct you to Chef Jeffrey Paige of Cotton Restaurant. When he opened Cotton, using local foods and working with local people who are passionate about their products became, according to Paige, "a lifestyle choice." In 1988, Paige began a quest to find out where food really came from. He became Executive Chef at Canterbury Shaker Village, one of two remaining active Shaker communities left in the world at the time. There, working with the last Shaker sisters, all in their 90's, he developed an appreciation for New England's rich culinary heritage. He developed numerous relationships with farmers, cheesemakers, gristmills, smokehouses, fishermen, etc. from all over the New England states. In 1991, with assistance from Gail McWilliams Jelly, NH Department of Agriculture, he founded the state's first Farm to Restaurant Connection.

This was my husband's and my first experience at Cotton--and it was AMAZING! Our server, "Scooter," could not have been more kind and attentive to us. She helped make the experience special. We had the goat cheese starter, which was absolutely fabulous. I had the turkey schnitzel and my husband had the meatloaf, and both dishes were so delicious that all we could do is moan and roll our eyes. When the food is so good that you can't even speak, well---how great is THAT? We also shared the dessert special, a toffee crunch cheesecake; truly wonderful! If you have never been to Cotton before, treat yourself! It's a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the food is out of this world and the prices are very reasonable. Honestly, I can't wait to go there again!

The food is delicious, and they have parking, something that's hard to come by in Manchester! And did I mention that the food is delicious? Plus the sauces and salad dressings are gluten free. This restaurant was recommended for their gluten awareness and they really do it right.

My husband and I had dinner at Cotton last night, and it was fantastic! My husband was happy with the beer selection, and both of my martinis were very good. We had the crab cakes appetizer, which was delicious and unique. My husband had the "best steak of his life" and I had the scallops, which were a little spicier than I typically prefer, but excellent nonetheless. I also had the white chocolate raspberry creme brulee, which was tremendous. Our server, Chris, was knowledgeable, attentive, and personable. I could not have been more satisfied with our meal.

Lunch yesterday at Cotton was absolutely wonderful; service from our waiter Chris was also really great. Can't wait to go back! Here's the thing: when I arrived just before 11:30 there were only a few people seated at the bar or at tables. A group of 6 to 8 people came in and asked for a table and were told that there were none available as they were booked. This did not go over well as, looking around the restaurant, there were many empty tables. One of the women looked at the hostess and said "we'll just go elsewhere" and they left in a huff. The reservation for our table was completed via Open Table (the app) which I have used many times to reduce the stress of having to wait for a table at a restaurant with food I love. Additionally, one of the members of our party is a chef who also uses Open Table to reserve tables at times where you wouldn't expect tables to be booked but hey, you nevah know and who likes the stress of having to wait for a table when you're starving? Here's the point: This is a great restaurant with amazing food and service. You should definitely stop in for lunch or dinner. But please, take a few seconds to download the Open Table app (no, I don't work for them) and make a reservation so that when you arrive, you can give your friends a huge hug for joining you and sit down and have an amazing meal. And yes, it was sad to see a party of 6 - 8 to leave angry (especially when seeing so many empty aka - reserved tables); who doesn't love great service? But then think of what happened to them next: 1. They had to decide on and find another restaurant 2. Drive there - and find parking 3. Walk in and hope that seats were available (it would be closer to noon when they arrived) 4. Have a little more stress and frustration - maybe not the same enjoyable meal they would have had if they had scheduled reservations at their first choice restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant with prompt service. The food and drinks were very good. Highly recommend the Rhode Island style calamari, and black bean burger yum!
