    My wife and I went for the first time for her birthday. We were greeted at the door by our waiter, and he acknowledged her birthday, which was great! We were seated early, which was great, and our server went over the options and his favorites. We went with the flat bread, and then the filet. It was all very delicious. We plan on coming back to try the brunch.

    We were celebrating two November birthdays. Dinner, drinks and service were amazing. My favorites at Otto’s are the bourbon old fashion and sea scallops. The server gave each birthday celebrant a dessert….cheesecake and bourbon bread pudding. Always a good dining experience at Otto’s.

    Cool place and vibe. Nice selection of dinners and starters. Full bar with specialty cocktails, we both had one and really enjoyed them. My short ribs were amazing and so was the carrot appetizer. The praline pecan bread pudding was outstanding. Great service, look forward to going back again.

    From the moment we walked in the door, this spot was perfect. We were greeted. Our table was not ready yet so we were invited to sit at the bar while we waited. The bartender found out it was our anniversary and gave us a peach-flavored prosecco on the house. When our table was ready we were escorted back. Our waitress was delightful and offered suggestions. It was obvious that she was familiar with the food available. Our pork chop was the most deliciously prepared pork chop I have ever tasted. It has a beautiful apple chutney with fingerling potatoes and a delicious demi glaze. Our shrimp and grits were also well prepared and tasty. We decided to order the bread pudding for our dessert. Again, wonderful! And when our bill arrived, our dessert had also been comped to acknowledge our 25th anniversary. What a beautiful evening in a beautiful place with equally beautiful people ! Ottto's will definitely be a place in which we return.

    Hello Lisa! Wow, we are so flattered by this review!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We just added that pork chop to the menu, and it is my new favorite! I'm so glad to hear that everyone from the host to the bartender to the server gave you fantastic service. I'm so proud to share this review with them. We hope you visit us again soon! Happy 25th Anniversary! -Alex Klein, General Manager

    Service was fabulous and food was served without a long wait. Noise level made it hard to communicate at our table of four. Green fried tomatoes were heavily breaded and slightly over done from what I remember.
    Otto'sResponded today
    Hello Karen! Thank you so much for your feedback! I will consult with the kitchen about the breading we're using for the fried green tomatoes. I apologize that they were overdone. The noise level is an issue we're still continuing to tackle, and hopefully we'll find another solution soon! I'm thrilled to hear that service was great! -Alex Klein, General Manager
