    We had a very nice dinner with two friends and enjoyed our choices. The serving area is rather small and was packed, and the noise level made it somewhat difficult to converse. In addition, the service was very slow (perhaps due to the restaurant's being short staffed). All in all, we liked our meal.

    This was our first time experiencing Otto’s and it was a wonderful experience. The crab cakes, sea bass and braised short rib were outstanding. Our server, Brian was top notch and we enjoyed the cozy feel that Otto’s offers. We’ll absolutely be back!

    Otto’s is our go-to for special occasions. The building is charming and staff wonderful. Over time we’ve worked our way around the menu and have yet to get a bad meal. The filet with garlic mashed is still a favorite. Great cocktails and desserts too.
