This beautifully converted historic villa is the perfect place to meet friends for an after-work drink. The big outdoor garden is one of the most relaxing spots in town during the summer months and the indoor fires are great for warming up during the winter. Good food makes it a place to lounge all day.

We're big fans of the outdoor patio at Cotton's--it's a chill French Concession hang out for lazy (hopefully sunny) afternoons. Once we've staked out our spot, a plate of Cotton's Special SPICY Fried Rice (YY35)--the [i]mala[i] version of the Butterfly Rice--and a nice cold beer or cocktail is enough to keep us happy. The chefs originally whipped this one up for Cotton to satisfy her craving for Hunan food and we're told she liked it so much that she decided to put it on the menu. With green and red peppers, corn, onion, pork, greens and the requisite red-hot peppers and spice to match, it's a meal unto itself. Just pour that hot peppery sauce on top (ask for another dish of it--we do) and chomp away.

Lovely outdoor patio. Fantastic steak and lamb. Nice wine selection and nice service. No complaints.

Where You Drink, Issue 11: Stefan Mueller

"For a great garden outdoor seating area and of course good food and drinks, I go to Cotton's. This bar is an oasis in our busy city and is simply the best place to enjoy a warm summer night. Their Sunday brunch is also a great deal and you can easily spend a whole day there, ending up with a Golden Frozen Margarita in your hand, having a chat with the friendly owner Miss Cotton herself."

Go for drinks, not the food (for now). Sat on the beautiful patio opting out of my regular burger for the pork ribs. The ribs were unpalatable. Staff (typically great) was slow to replace, but after manager o.k. got the chicken sandwich. Lightning struck twice. Tried to stomach the sandwich but just could not. While the manager comped the "meal" and gave me drink coupons for the new location, sometimes free isn't free. Definite points for trying. Let me know when you replace the kitchen staff.

Perfect for all seasons : a glass of chilled wine in the patio in summer, a beer by the fireplace in winter. Great for dates and large groups alike, to have a quiet evening in a warm atmosphere. I don't have anything to complain about the staff, efficient and smiling.

Cotton's garden is great, inside is cozy fake, the bar guys are bad mannered(where is good old nice&fat Jason ????) the food really sucks already for 2 years and it seems all nice waitresses leave the joint or are replaced by empty faced gals. "Mayday, mayday, we are going down....."

Outdoor seating perfect for spring afternoons right now. Menu was a little unimaginative but the burger and brunch set always hit the spot. Pity the seats in the patio are not comfie for extended lazing!

What the hell happened to this place? I hadn't been in while, brought a couple of out of town guests for drinks. The service was nearly nonexistent. Then they had no mint for mojitos so we ordered other things, which would have been fine but the drinks were terrible, so for the second round we got gin tonics. How could you go wrong with gin and tonic, right? Well I was shocked: hands down the worst gin tonics I've had in ages; tonic was flat and the drop of gin tasted funny. Sadly not going back any time soon. Do something Cotton!
