    Chicken Chilaquiles with a fried egg
    Najah H.

    For today's Sunday brunch (Atlanta location), we were celebrating the Virgos in my crew. We brought our own desserts - an entire cake and 6 cupcakes. Our server was delightful by asking about the special occasion and took the desserts to clear our table. We started with the crab dip (tip: ask for crudite because it comes with chips). To drink we had the Ginger Margarita, Dragonbird and Bellini. The Dragonbird is served in an adorable little bird glass too. The dip was delicious and a perfect starter. For brunch - we had the Classic Breakfast, 3-Egg Gruyere omelette and Chicken Chilaquiles. Remember to customize your eggs, your protein and any sides. The chicken sausage is incredible! And they did cut our cake and served it to us along with other guests. We left it for the staff! Overall, a great atmosphere, amazing service and the location is charming down at City Springs. Parking is validated for 2 hours (use QR code) or park in the deck for a fee. On this day there was an event so parking was a flat $10. Perfect for a date, cocktails, groups or special occasions.

    This place is such a vibe! The ceiling covered in flowers and the warm glow from the lanterns make it feel so cozy but still really stylish. Perfect spot to hang out with the girls and unwind. And great spot for pictures. The drinks were amazing--super tasty and really pretty. The frothy cocktail was smooth and rich. Was a whiskey sour not on the menu. The tall fruity one was so refreshing. Definitely the kind of drinks you want to take a picture of before sipping. We also had the ceviche and it had great flavors and the perfect thing to snack with homemade chips. If you would like to eat at the restaurant side I would make a reservation. I'd come back in a heartbeat!

    Absolutely love this place for brunch. Everything I had was delicious! The portions are massive and the cocktails will not disappoint. Our server was very nice and we were there on Easter so I appreciate the team showing up. Ask for the house hot sauce, it's not spicy but it gives the meal a little something extra. The cinnamon roll is MASSIVE enough for everyone. The location is great right on the corner and easy to access. Inside is warm and inviting. Will definitely be back for more delicious entrees

    The Select is an upscale restaurant in downtown Charleston with stunning decor and great food. I went for brunch and ordered the chilaquiles and a coffee. The chilaquiles were delicious and fairly inexpensive in my opinion, I highly recommend them. The coffee tasted a bit burnt and it was slow to get a new pot, so unfortunately it wasn't worth getting; hopefully just an off day on the coffee. Everything else was great including our friendly server. If you're looking for a good brunch spot then I'd definitely check out The Select!

    My bff and I came in to enjoy a bottle of wine on Wednesdays 1/2 select bottles night. We ended up choosing a nice rose and picked at the butchers block for a little snack. It was our first time here and we appreciated the very night ambiance throughout the location as well as the friendly staff and waitress. We asked a few questions about which wine and snack we should pick and the staff was very nice and patient asking the chef and then getting back to us. Will for sure be back to try more menu items!

    What a delightful spot for some brasserie favorites. Parking in building that's validated started us off happy. Beautiful design with fun music set a good atmosphere. Service from Gwen was very efficient, friendly, and informed. Brunch Stand outs included the best banana bread of my life, a proper French omelette, and wonderful version of hash browns. French onion soup and quiche Lorraine were solid. We will be back for dinner!

    I was pleasantly surprised upon entering The Select. A spacious dining room and very large bar area overwhelms you as you enter as well as lots of windows and lots of light streaming in from busy Meeting Street. Oh boy! ...the server just set down the yogurt parfait and additional side of fruit. Love..Love ...Love!! Service is friendly and efficient ensuring your visit is super duper and not your ordinary brisk in and out type of experience. Jacelyn D. was wonderful and helpful . Will return! On to the parfait now! Cheers!

    Celebrated my birthday at The Select. First, I loved the atmosphere. Great decor and elegant. Our appetizers were the home made Fresh Baguette with salted European butter and the hot blue crab dip. The bread was fresh and delicious. Make sure you add a little butter on it. YUM!!! The crab dip was creamy with lumps of crab meat. The braised short rib and steak frites were delicious. Short rib and steak were tender, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Our waiter Lucas was amazing. He made my birthday dinner experience very special. Thank you Lucas!! Highly recommend and I will be back. Make a reservation!! #birthday #celebration #happybirthday #goodeats #greatservice #steak #shortribs #fingerlingpotatoes #mashpotatoes #crabdip #wellseasoned #fullofflavor #cookedperfectly #charlestonsc #southcarolina

    Stopped in late on Lady's night, but still had good drinks, music, and fun. Sat at the bar and was provided great service from the bartenders. They were happy to answer questions about their menu and gave great suggestions. My friends and I ordered a variety of drinks, which all were to our liking. Had to try the Bird of Paradise in the oh so cute bird shaped glass, and it was delicious. Next time we'll grab some of their great looking dishes. The live music was very entertaining and up-to-date. One man band, playing his sax with instrumentals of popular songs from all genres. He even put his instrument down and sang a few songs, while the audience joined along.

    We visited The Select on a Saturday evening, having made a reservation in advance. The interior was beautifully decorated, especially the bar, which featured gorgeous hanging flowers. I was excited that their drink menu featured some non-alcoholic wines, and got the N/A Sparkling Rose. It was so tasty and refreshing, and truly tasted like the real deal! We also started with two dozen Oysters to share between the three of us. I loved that their mignonette and hot sauce came in little glass bottles with pipettes, and all the Oysters tasted super fresh. We ordered a bunch more items to share - the Lobster Arancini, Roasted Mushrooms, Peruvian Ceviche, Squash & Burrata, Hot Blue Crab Dip, and Miso Golden Tilefish. The Squash & Burrata and were my two favorites, but everything was really good. Portion sizes were generally small, so we were able to finish all the food with no leftovers. For dessert, we got the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which was so rich and delicious, without being too decadent. Service was friendly and relatively quick. Overall, awesome for dinner!

    Came here for brunch on Easter and the place was packed! The cinnamon bun was gigantic and could definitely feed the entire table. Everyone's entrées were great size and we left feeling very full. Crowdpleaser for our table was the French toast. The vanilla mascarpone combined with the brioche bread and the strawberry compote was Chef's kiss ! Their cocktails were very refreshing and tasted amazing. Love the elegance of the dining room and will definitely be back for the French onion soup!

    Risotto Al verde with chicken and extra dirty martini with extra olives
    Maxine C.

    This place was so fabulous! The demeanor was very cute and quaint like midsummer meets the city. The food was even better. The lobster arancini and Caesar salad were delicious appetizers! I got the risotto with chicken for my app and the flavors were divine. Jocelyn, our waitress was so sweet and hooked me up with extra olives in my martinis. I couldn't even get a picture of the desert before we devoured it, but highly recommend the espresso crème brûlée was amazing! We will definitely be coming back here for ladies night and highly recommend to all.

I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the food, but it was good. The chicken was a boneless chicken thigh, the batter was good, and the home fries were even better. I also had a mimosa (because it was 5'o clock somewhere) and my partner had a latte which was tasty and came with a small pirouline cookie. Beautiful surroundings right across from the Market.

We will probably remember this one for a while. First, we came a little early just to check out the scene and the managers/hosting staff were so kind and encouraging us to sit and relax at the bar before our table was ready. The bar had live music, the bartenders were fast and funny, and the drinks were Fantastic! We laughed and and had fun before the host came and Brigid to our table. Our waiter was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu, knew and acknowledged that we were celebrating our anniversary, and made sure to keep watch and check in throughout our time. The managers were all walking around and even gave us complimentary champagne and dessert to celebrate with us. So so fun and we were overjoyed! Outside of the service and ambiance, the food was top tier. My husband got the shrimp and grits (loved it) and I got one of their steak specials (kept me quiet as I dug in). We shared the okra, lobster Mac and cheese. So so so good. My pictures do not do anything justice because I definitely was more worried about digging in than taking pictures but we will definitely be back again and perhaps I'll get a better picture!

The service was excellent -- polished, warm, and confidently attentive without ever feeling overdone. They know how to make a night feel special. And let me just say: the wine selection was excellent. Thoughtful pours, great bottles, and spot‑on pairing guidance. It felt curated, not crowded. Our table went in on a mix of dishes, and every single one delivered: * Waldorf salad -- crisp, bright, and beautifully balanced * Cioppino -- rich, aromatic, and full of tender seafood * Elevated swordfish -- perfectly cooked with that refined, coastal flair * Mussels -- tender, fragrant, and deeply seasoned * Filet mignon -- melt‑in‑your‑mouth and plated like a little moment High Cotton blends Southern charm with fine‑dining finesse, and it shows in every detail. My group left happy, impressed, and already planning the next visit. Charleston has plenty of great restaurants -- but High Cotton knows how to make you feel like you chose the right one.

I honestly did not think that the blue crab ravioli was anything special. In fact I could have skipped that dish and had been fine and would've had more room to finish the shrimp in the boulliabase. Desserts were outstanding. Chocolate budin (pudding) was delicious. Rice pudding was also quite nice with the fresh strawberries. The place itself was nice. Dark lighting.

I was having trouble hearing people on my table talk due to the higher than usual crown noise. Overall: It is a good experience, food is good , service is polite and cordial, but it was definitely not worth the hype and months of wait and anticipation. It is a good spot for an elevated dinner but, the hype it has been blown out of proportion.
