    This is an incredible restaurant. The downstairs is very nice, quiet and good for larger groups. We had seven or eight people at a table and it was perfect. The food was top-notch. We can’t wait for our next visit.

    I went to Otto's as I wanted to experience Pressed Duck without having to go to Paris. It was also a sublime start to my 70th birthday celebrations. The champagne, cuisine, wine and service was quite exceptional and the Pressed Duck one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. What stands out over all my other dining experiences was the level of fun and attentive service. The bonhomie from the other diners also made it a very special evening and I look forward to eating at Otto’s once again in the near future.

    Wonderful food in delightful, eccentric surroundings. Auto himself is the best maitre d’hotel in London. This is always my go to restaurant after I’ve tried everywhere else.
