Cottonwood Cafe
Neighborhood: Back Bay

222 Berkeley St Lbby 2
Boston, MA 02116

Marissa P. writes: Frankly, I was disappointed with the Cottonwood Cafe. One downside to reading fellow Yelpers' reviews of a restaurant prior to dining there - if the place got mult. 5-star ratings, it's immediately held to higher standards by me. So *maybe* I would…
