The food was just average and expensive. I think that if you are coming to Charleston for the food you should probably go somewhere else. However, the atmosphere is great!

Have enjoyed this restaurant for many years. Came from out of town to have a special occasion meals here. Have enjoyed since moving to Charleston and have had family holidays there for Sunday brunch. Always a favorite and will go back again and again.

I've dined at High Cotton (downtown) twice so far - once for a romantic dinner and once for Sunday brunch with the folks.

Both times the service was unparalleled!!

We were able to have conversation and actually hear each other yet were situated where we could people watch both inside the restaurant and the outside passers-by.

The food has been just a delight for the senses - smell, sight and of course, taste!

I'd recommend High Cotton to anyone looking for great service, excellent food and an all-around amazing dining experience!

My husband and I chose to go to High Cotton for our last night of vacation. We had heard great things about the restaurant and it lived up to all of them. The service was impeccable. Our waitress anticipated our every need. My husband had a steak and said it was one of the best he has had in a long time. I had seafood and enjoyed it very much.

I wish I knew what we did wrong, obviously we didn't dress well enough (nope) or tip the hostess as they wouldn't even seat us. We did show up about 1:30pm without reservations and I understand they stop serving at 2:00pm, but there was room and witnessed others seated after us without reservations. It might be a great restaurant, but I won't go back to find out.
