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.

My friends and I had a great experience at Bouquet! They had delicious cocktails and the most yummy and beautiful charcuterie board. We ordered the scallop pasta and maple leaf farms duck for entrees and were more than satisfied. Our server was very attentive and kind!

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!
