   This is a gem on South Main St. that offers good service, delicious dinner entrees and the wine list is very good! We tried the Octopus appetizer and Seafood Paella- both were delicious. Our server was very attentive and courteous. I highly recommend Otra for a weeknight or weekend dining experience.

   Quality restaurant with great drinks. The lighting was too bright to be a date spot, but that’s what the menu and drinks reflect. If they made it more romantic and styled I would think it’s a great spot for drinks with the girls or a date night, but the vibe doesn’t match the menu and some of the food was amazing and some of it lacked flavor. We tried apps, entree, drinks, and their charcuterie. I love the Spanish flair, just wish they developed the concept fully. It’s Betola’s younger fun bar crowed but needs work. Would definitely go to Betola over Otra, but both are expensive and high quality.

   Always such great flavors. The food never disappoints. We ate off of the tapas menu exclusively. The seared octopus was amazing! The cod papas frittatas was a special and amazing as well. I’ve honestly never had anything bad . It is pricey but absolutely worth it.

   We enjoyed a delicious meal and outstanding service. Loved the scallops a la plancha, the salad special with baby octopus and braised short ribs with roasted veggies. We'll be back!

   We chose to sit at the bar so that sharing dishes would be easier. Our bartender was very attentive and his mezcal spicy margarita was delicious. Prior to placing orders we checked out the sizes of dinners that were being brought to other diners and noticed that even the half sized portions were quite large so we limited our choices to the tapas menu and split a couple of those. The pork belly and the small octopus tapas were delicious! Unless you’re ravenously hungry, stick to the tapas menu. Overall, a good experience here.

   The entrées were amazing both the duck and ribs would go back to have both. The appetizers were over cooked we had the octopus and calamari, the octopus needed salt. We also tried the tomato bread which was over salted. Given how well they cooked the entrees we will give them another shot.

    In general, the food was good, although the torta jamon was not; it was salty and did not have a good taste. Also, the flan was meh. The cataplana moritz was very good, but only one piece of bread for all that broth??? The huevos cabreados was great. The best thing about the place was the waitstaff. Excellent service all around.
