    My friend and I had a great lunch. It's been a few years since I've been to Otto's, this was a great reminder that I need to come back more often (maybe when the I-75 Northbound entrance reopens. My tomato pie was as good as I remembered, and the watermelon gazpacho was delicious.

    Otto's always delivers. My wife and I stopped in before going to a concert. We started outside but was forced in by rain. Greg took great care of us. We enjoyed the burrata to start. My filet was wonderful; my wife loved her halibut. Wine was excellent. Staff works great together. Wonderful experience again.

    Like visiting an old friend. Always a pleasant dining experience. We continue to return for the good food, drinks and very friendly people. We have been fortunate to have Eric as our waiter the last few times. The entire wait staff always greet with a smile.

    Food was excellent, and service was great! It was Mother's Day and a great experience. The only minor con is a few items on the menu were out, which were two of the dishes we planned to order, and all desserts were gone. Even with that, we still had a great experience and all four of us loved our meals (Filet, halibut, scallops, and salmon).

    We wanted to grab dinner upon exiting the airport at 7:00 p.m. on a Tuesday evening. Otto’s was close by and on our way to Walnut Hills. We snagged a standard table reservation at 7:30. Upon arrival we noticed an outside table was open and were thrilled to be seated there. It has a French cafe vibe & the street scape provides a lovely ambiance. I had the tomato dill soup and flatbread. The soup was exceptional and left me wanting more. The flatbread was very good. My friend had the brie berry salad & fried green tomatoes-both ample servings & beautifully plated. We will definitely return.
