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.

We had a lovely pre-Christmas celebration dining on walleye, chicken livers, hot slaw, green beans, mashed potatoes and blackberry cobbler. The “new fashioned” cocktails were terrific. Our server was courteous and attentive. Great evening at the Greyhound!

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!
