    Otto’s was really busy lastnight which was great to see. Our server was slammed, yet was attentive and did a fabulous job despite their being possibly short staffed. Wine was great, food was amazing. All around festive atmosphere. Our table of 6 had a grand time. Thank you Otto’s!

    What a delightful restaurant! The decor was so charming and cozy. The food was off the hook and our server, Eric Lane was exemplary and so friendly. Cocktails and desert were amazing too. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I both thought our dinners we excellent, as a matter of fact on the way home my wife commented that was the best restaurant meal I have ever had and being in our 70s we have eaten in a few. Excellent service, good drinks, did not have desert.

    There is a reason Otto’s has been around for over 20 years. The food is amazing and the best fried green tomatoes I have ever had. We sat at the bar and Chad’s recommended Old Fashioned didn’t disappoint. For a great night out, go to Otto’s

    It was so loud we could barely hear each other talk.

    Hello Kelly! I apologize that it was quite loud when you were dining with us. Unfortunately, our restaurant does get rather loud, especially during dinner service. We hear you and will continue to try and resolve this issue. I appreciate your feedback. -Alex, General Manager

    The food was amazing. The portions were large and needed to take it home. The fried green tomatoes were great and the short rib grilled cheese was amazing
