Otto’s was a fabulous dinner. We had to schedule for a 9 PM dinner time because of work schedules. But the dinner and ambience was marvelous. Service was exceptional. Recommendations and explanation of food was terrific. Everyone felt very comfortable with what they ordered. We have been were able to get a wonderful mocktail for the younger people in the party. The menu has a nice variety that could meet all dietary needs. The atmosphere is a cozy elegance. I will definitely return because of such an exceptional experience.

The dinner was delicious! Starting with the delicate sashimi which was very fresh and had a buttery texture. Next the five whole different colored carrots were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented and the gizzards were tender and tasty with the chimichurri sauce. The lamb neck was huge (easily enough for 2 people) and perfectly cooked with a crispy crust and tender flavorful meat underneath. The duck breast was also perfectly cooked a nice medium rare with a tasty sauce sauce. Our server Cole was friendly, attentive and enthusiastic. Altogether a great experience!

This is a great restaurant. We had great food. The only weird thing was only people sitting at the bar could order a tall pilsner of beer. If you were sitting at the table you could only get a "baby" one or a fish bowl. How odd!
