    Excellent food and service. Seating is a little tight and it can get loud, but it is absolutely worth it!
    Otto'sResponded 2 days ago
    Hello Zach! Thank you so much for this glowing review! I'm so glad you had a great experience dining with us last night. I'll let your server, Candice, know about your kind words regarding her service. Unfortunately, it was particularly loud last night. I apologize about that. Next time you come in, give us a call to set up your reservation and request a quieter, less busy table. We have some tables that are less crowded and quieter than others. We'd be happy to accommodate you! Hope you can come back again soon! :) -Alex Klein, General Manager

    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. 
    Otto'sResponded 2 days ago
    Hello Mary! Thank you so much for this review. I apologize that you had to wait a while to be seated. We are beyond grateful to be as busy as we are right now. However, I have noticed that we need to make some adjustments to our reservation system to provide a better-quality experience and to prevent situations like you had on Friday. Thank you for being so patient and understanding with us. This is very helpful feedback. I'm really glad you enjoyed your food and your server! Hope you can come back again soon! -Alex Klein, General Manager

    Excellent for brunch. I had the chicken salad and potato pancake and my aunt had the casserole and tomato soup. We both loved it. Will be back!
