    Otto's is always excellent. We're not local and often schedule around brunch or lunch as we travel through the area

    Had a party of 7 that was seated upstairs in the middle room. Service was slow at the start due to 3 other tables in the next room getting their food as we were seated. We hadn’t even ordered apps 30 minutes after our reservation. But once those tables were served, we were able to order and the service picked up. Stars of the show were the mussels, flat bread, tomato dill soup, filet with king crab, scallops, short ribs and the bread pudding. I would pass on the Cajun Cream pasta.

    Hello Nick! Thank you so much for your feedback. I apologize that the service started out slow in the beginning, but I'm glad it picked up! Thank you for being patient with us. It's so awesome to hear all of the appetizers and entrees that you enjoyed. The Filet Oscar was our special over the weekend. I'm working on having a weekend special every week for 2025. I hope you can come back again, and we can provide you with better service and an amazing dinner special! Have a Happy New Year! -Alex Klein, General Manager

    Hello Megan! I'm so glad your dinner with us on Christmas Eve was fantastic! I will definitely let Eric know about your kind words regarding his service. He's wonderful! I apologize that your filet was a little overcooked. Please let us know if we made a mistake or you're not happy with the temperature on your filet for the future! We always want to know when we fall short, so that we can fix it and ensure that you loved every bite the 2nd time around! Have a great rest of the year, and we hope you visit us again soon! -Alex Klein, General Manager

    Otto’s is nice. The staff is gracious and attentive. The food is just really good! We got a piece of cheesecake to go. When I opened the box, I just laughed. If I’m being generous, the piece was an inch across. Sad, pitiful little $10 cheesecake slice.
    Otto'sResponded 2 days ago
    Hello Scott! Thank you for your great review! I apologize that the cheesecake you received was small. We are expanding out dessert menu for the new year! Stop by in 2025 and check them out. I promise you won't be disappointed this time!! Have a great new year! -Alex Klein, General Manager

    My friends and I always celebrate birthdays and Christmas at Otto's for brunch. It never disappoints. The food is outstanding. Our server was very attentive, even though the restaurant was very busy. It's always loud, but we know that going in. It's our go-to place for special occasions.
