Great Restaurant!!!
Every time I come to Charleston, this place is on the list of places to eat. It has the regional low country flair, but also has your traditional steak as well. I like the bar and the feeling of the restaurant - it has a "celebratory" feel to it, which I like. Not too noisy, but not so quiet that you can hear everyone's conversation.    [21 Apr 2003 19:32:44]

I'm High On High Cotton
If you didn't grow up in the South when "Cotton was King " you might not understand the advantage one has by being hidden in high cotton in order to relieve a bodily function. Well that's what gives the phrase it's superior station.

As for the restaurant it's food sets it apart from many of the great ones in the Holy City and is deserving of this "uppity" name . I like this restaurant so much that I take my wife Sandy there every Valentines Day to celebrate our anniversary. The atmosphere is perfect for couples celebrating being couples.

My favorite dish is wild Alaskan Salmon sitting on a bed of cabbage and grits with some sauces I can't pronounce. If you go on Valentines evening I'll be the guy with the shaved head sitting with the tall blond. The wait staff is always great. One year I had them drop an anniversary ring into Sandy's champagne. They do this kinda stuff all the time.    [07 Aug 2003 02:31:16]

not high enough
What a disappointment. The menu offers nothing exciting, and the wait-staff has forgotten that they work in one of the "finer" restaurants in Charleston. There was absolutely nothing charming about this place...in a city otherwise full of Southern charm. Go someplace else!!! Anyplace else!!!    [22 Jan 2004 23:07:01]

Excellent
I have visited High Cotton twice. Once when it first debuted with a 14oz Ribeye special for $14 -- a deal and excellent fare.

My most recent visit was May 2004 (with a toddler) and again found excellent food (though a slight increase in price), unparalleled service, and great atmosphere. The wait-staff brought courtesy ice cream and other treats to keep the toddler at bay.    [04 Aug 2004 09:16:17]

Fantastic!!!
I have been twice and am on my way tomorrow for a Saturday night rendezvous with the love of my life. We both are in love with the Chocolate Praline Souffle. Very romantic, wait staff is excellent.    [25 Aug 2005 18:39:36]

My Mother was In
Yes, my mother felt truly pampered and rich with attention from the staff at the "High Cotton" Restaurant in Charleston, SC. The staff made my mother's birthday a memorable occasion by going above and beyond the norm to make her feel special.    [28 Aug 2005 00:08:04]
