    We typically modify our food slightly and it NEVER is a problem at Otto's. We Split our salads and get our sauce the comes on our entrees on the side. Otto's is eager to accommodate and always make it a beautiful experience. I love the small table by the window. It's our favorite place to sit. Thank you Otto's for a consistent awesome evening.

    Wow, wow, wow! Perfectly eclectic ambience, super welcoming staff, and the most delicious food! Our appetizer of fried green tomatoes was so crispy and perfect and the horseradish ranch sauce is addictive! I had the braised spare ribs, my partner had the shrimp and grits cake; both were outstanding, amazingly delicious dishes. We will be back!!

    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.
