    Wonderful anniversary dinner on a beautiful night. Front windows were fully open and we sat at the bar. Service and food were outstanding. We had fried green tomatoes, short ribs, scallops and bread pudding.

    We had a terrific brunch at Otto's. The menu is not huge, however there are so many great options that I had trouble deciding. Fortunately, our great server Chad was there to provide ideas and his thoughts on the menu. Chad was attentive and terrific despite being very busy, and the whole experience was just great. We highly recommend Otto's!
    Otto'sResponded on April 24, 2025
    Hello Jane! Oh my goodness, what a lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed Easter with us this past Sunday. Chad is a new to our team, but he has been so impressive. Thank you so much for sharing your dining experience. I will be sure to pass along your kind words to Chad. We hope you can dine again with us soon! Alex, General Manager

    Always a perfect experience!!! Atmosphere, food, and service were impeccable. The hardest working busser in the world. On point!
    Otto'sResponded on April 24, 2025
    Hello Dawn! Wow, thank you so much for this review. You're absolutely right, our busser, Eddie, is the best in the world!!!!! He is incredible and we're so lucky to have him. I appreciate the shout out for him, and I will definitely be informing him of your sweet review. I'm thrilled that the rest of your dining experience was great! We'll see you next time. :) Alex, General Manager

    Nice place with a good variety of selections. The reason for not providing a 5 star rating is the the entree’s were brought out too soon after our appetizer. Consequently, it wasn’t possible to have both of them fresh
    Otto'sResponded on April 24, 2025
    Hi Mike! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm sorry to hear that the entrees came out before you were finished with the appetizer! That's not our standard of service. I will talk to my staff to prevent this for the future. Thank you for your great review. Hopefully we can serve you again. -Alex, General Manager

    this was a great place to eat dinner in Covington One note, unless you can sit outside, it is NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE INSIDE
    Otto'sResponded on April 24, 2025
    Hello Dale! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I apologize that our inside dining isn't wheelchair accessible. I'm actually looking into obtaining a portable ramp to help fix this problem. We want to be able to serve everyone! Thanks so much for your feedback. Hope to have you back again soon. Alex, General Manager
