Cotton Club — Restaurant in New York

Very excited to have the opportunity to hear the artists perform in such a legendary place. They are open on Saturday & Monday nights, and I believe they may be in the process of bringing back their Sunday brunch. My friend made the reservation, and they have an old fashioned, pen and paper, system. And the only way to contact is via email on their website. Needless to say, plan in advance. The inside was put together fine, you can tell there is need for updating the decor and fixing a few items.

The musicians were phenomenal, they were engaging and each of their songs kept you moving. During their break, we were able to directly talk with them about their experiences and how things have evolved there at the Cotton Club. They were playing upon our arrival around 8:30, took an intermission around 10 and then played for another hour until 11. There were only two other tables that evening, I think around 9 people total. I was shocked at that as well.

I found the temperature to be a bit chilly and it was even worse in the lady's restroom. The men's room had a space heater...so not really sure how that worked out? One of the hand air dryers on the wall was almost falling off as well. Needless to say, I was sad to see the disrepair the building was in when such talent individuals were on stage...

We went to the Gospel Brunch on Mother's Day. The food was good, but limited. They did not have all the promised buffet items and the (non-alcoholic) drink selection is severely limited. Unfortunately, the service was awful. Dismissive, rude and the man who handed out plates at the buffet was downright mean/abusive. I'm not a delicate flower, but being yelled at whilst trying to give my mom an awesome Mother's Day experience almost had me in tears. If you want customers to handle the buffet line in a specific way , provide them with instructions - don't yell at them because they step out of the designated area without telling them about the designated area. We enjoyed this experience only because of the awesome band fronted by the lovely and amazing Helen Slade. There are other gospel brunches in the city and I highly recommend you attend one of those. Do not go here. I only hope Helen and her band can find a place more deserving of...

came here for dinner in a very big group for dinner, it was buffet style. We came in and I immediately could smell the mold on the walls and the grease. The food was not edible it was flavorless and burnt and just over all not enjoyable and made me sick immediately. the bathrooms had mold on the lights and walls and you can clearly see the bathroom has not been cleaned for a while, there was bugs everywhere one stall didn’t even have a door. the music was very loud and didn’t even sound like proper music. the staff were disrespectful and would tell you to “move” in a very aggressive way. i’m not impressed at all and would never come back here it was absolutely disgusting. The minute i left the restaurant i was throwing up on the side...
