    Loved the ambience, food and ofcourse the detailing of the interiors as well. It is a good blend of artsy, elevated, chic design with beautiful details! Perfect for a date night with great food options. Their fried green tomatoes is the best I’ve ever had! We had the berry salad and the pork chop and the pork chop was pretty good! The staff were friendly and accommodating and had the best recommendations!

    Hello Srinjana! What an amazing review! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the food, ambience, and service! One of the owners is very artistic, and she curates our ambience and painted several of the paintings at Otto's. She's so talented. It looks like your server was Anya, but I'll be sure to tell all of the staff that worked Sunday night, about your incredible review. They will be so happy to hear it. Thank you for leaving us a wonderful review. We hope you can come back again soon! :) -Alex, General Manager

    Absolutely incredible. Our server Carley was the best. The food exceeded our expectations. We made reservations for 515, walked in at 510 and was seated immediately. Everyone on the staff was super friendly and attentive, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. You have to try the Brussel sprouts, they are unbelievable.
    Otto'sResponded 2 days ago
    Hello Shelby!!! I just read your google review about the brussels sprouts and was so filled with glee; and then came over to OpenTable to see yet another GLOWING review! I remember Carley specifically talking about how nice and fun you all were on Saturday evening. She will be so happy to hear about your review. Thank you so much for your reviews, it truly means so much to us. We'll see you next time with brussels sprouts ready! :) -Alex, General Manager

    We went for a birthday brunch that was perfect from start to finish. The staff is amazingly friendly, the food was delicious, and they gave us a free birthday dessert complete with a candle! It's the cutest place for a romantic date.

    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!

I hope you can dine with us again soon. :) -Alex, General Manager
