    It took a while to get seated for our reservation. Our server made up for it by giving us a free appetizer, which was really cool and very sweet of her. They had minimal weight staff, but they did their best to keep up with everything and stay engaged. The food was wonderful and I would highly recommend.

    Just moved to Covington and trying new restaurants. Service was outstanding, friendly staff. The foot was good I had scallops and my husband had the halibut. The only reason we wouldn’t go back is the noise level. The seating is so close to others that I could not have a conversation.
    Otto'sResponded 2 days ago
    Hello Carol! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I'm sorry the noise level was very high when you dined with us. That's an issue we've been trying to tackle for some time now. We're still brainstorming on other ideas to fix the issue. It's particularly louder when it's busy. I apologize about that. If you'd like to dine with us again, please give us a call and request for a quieter table, and we'd be happy to accommodate you. Some tables are quieter than others. Thanks again!
