Fine Dining at High Cotton, Charleston, SC

High Cotton Restaurant located in downtown Charleston, SC has been and continues to be an iconic landmark offering consistently good food. Dressy casual attire matches nicely with the casual Southern décor. However, the fare takes main stage coupled with fine service and plate presentation. Our brunch included she-crab soup, thick, creamy and flavorsome. The entrees were Crab Cakes Benedict topped with perfectly poached eggs with a barely runny yoke; some of the best lump crab cakes (I rank them with the crab cakes at Turtle Shack Café, The Bayside Inn & Restaurant, and Sunrise Seafood) with no filler and just enough binder to hold the cake together. My wife’s entrée was the Lobster & Bacon Omelet; moist egg omelet folded around a generous amount of lobster meat augmented with lobster bisque provided a succulent seafood accent to a perfectly cooked omelet. Both entrees came with cheddar grits, soft, thick and creamy; my only critique being their blandness, a hint of jalapeño would be my personal choice to turn them into a tongue tangy delight. 
The Takeaway: Well crafted Lowcountry cuisine offering fresh local ingredients of high quality consistently presented. Charleston is a foodie paradise with numerous varied quality experiences, however consistently tasteful meals from the High Cotton kitchen makes this our place of preference for over 30 years.
