Great dining experience. Our table was on the deck at the railing with an excellent view overlooking Truckee. The lamb was a very good choice. The burger was only okay. Would definitely go back again.

A great, rather nostalgic restaurant to meet up with friends for dinner. Our server, Juan, was a great host. I ordered a burrata salad and was a bit disappointed in the portion- quite small. The short ribs looked good!

The short (don't try to call for anything and don't order the "burrata" salad) and long of of it.

OK experience. I've heard great things and wish I could say the same about my first visit. Reservations were easy until I wanted to get ahold of someone to request seating outdoors. I tried multiple times one evening, was hung up on, tried again and it never went through. The next day, I was promptly asked to wait on hold and was left on hold for over 10 mjns at which point I hung up and sent an email. Never received a reply. Problem resolved when I had to change my date anyway so I wrote what I needed to in the notes section. Don't try to get ahold of anyone here, your online reservation booking is your only opportunity.

We were seated outside, service was great, view was lovely. However, one could gather by the menu that this is an upscale restaurant, and with an impressive menu I have certain expectations that my food will reflect this.

Everyone's meals were what they ordered and delicious, except mine. I was secretly very underwhelmed with the "burrata" salad... it was literally a hard lump of mozzarella. No soft, gooeyness, no pull apart barrate cheese. It literally felt like a rock of mozzarella and I kindly ate it...but it was a FAR from barrata and I had to knife and fork the hard lump of cheese. It didn't feel fancy to say the least. It was NOT barrata.

So, I'm just not a fan of false advertisement. Either take it off the menu if you dont have it or don't call it that. It was a salad with a swish of butternut puree and a ball of hard mozzarella, pleeeeease don't try to fool us.

Our wedding experience at High Cotton was absolutely wonderful. Megan and Sara went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and warm, accommodating nature made the entire process seamless. From the planning stages to the actual day, they were always available to address any concerns and made sure all our needs were met. Their personal touches and dedication really stood out, making our special day even more memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better team or venue to celebrate such a joyous occasion.

Service ok....view of old Truckee.....A+

Only thing that turned us away was the $2.60 employees health surcharge. Covid is over!! No need. The food and atmosphere as well as view was awesome.

When looking for that old Truckee feel this is the spot. We like to come after a busy day of outdoor fun. We dress up a bit for a holiday meal.
Catching a breeze on the patio in the evening is heavenly.
There was lively music with an acoustic Duo play our favorites.
Years ago there was a bear in the parking lot.. when I reported it to the management they said nonplused "Yeah ...that's our bear, steer clear and you'll be fine ." We did and we were!
Old Truckee for sure!
Enjoy

was a bit worried how this place would turn out but it actually ended up being amazing! service, view, and food were the best even though the restaurant itself is in an odd sort of place, the front is gorgeous! there are a good amount tables and everything is spread super nicely. they also gave my dad a gift card to thank us for having his birthday dinner there! so lovely! definitely recomend this restaurant and if you do have a chance to be seated outside definitely do it the view is exquisite!
