Cotton Row is located downtown across from the courthouse and offers reliable valet parking. It is a fine-dining bistro with an elegant ambiance, high ceilings and refined white-linen service. On pleasant evenings the sidewalk seating is open Parisienne style. I have been there many times and plan on returning soon. I like to go about 5:30 or 6:00 right after work. Business attire is fine...I don't think they will turn anyone away if not sporting a tie. I understand it is locally owned but the chef spent many years in California honing his considerable talents there. I personally am glad he chose to come to Huntsville. Every visit is a culinary delight. The inspired soup, salad and appetizer creations have a San Francisco flair and are always interesting. The entree list is always well-conceived and prepared to specifications. Some are quite unique and stimulating, especially if you like French cooking. The ample wine list and the kind-of-wild martini list never dissapoint. We had our Christmas party there in their special party room and all said it was the best we've ever had.
