                                        Otto’s is nice. The staff is gracious and attentive. The food is just really good! We got a piece of cheesecake to go. When I opened the box, I just laughed. If I’m being generous, the piece was an inch across. Sad, pitiful little $10 cheesecake slice.

                                        My friends and I always celebrate birthdays and Christmas at Otto's for brunch. It never disappoints. The food is outstanding. Our server was very attentive, even though the restaurant was very busy. It's always loud, but we know that going in. It's our go-to place for special occasions.

                                        Otto’s was a fabulous dinner. We had to schedule for a 9 PM dinner time because of work schedules. But the dinner and ambience was marvelous. Service was exceptional. Recommendations and explanation of food was terrific. Everyone felt very comfortable with what they ordered. We have been were able to get a wonderful mocktail for the younger people in the party. The menu has a nice variety that could meet all dietary needs. The atmosphere is a cozy elegance. I will definitely return because of such an exceptional experience.

                                        Enjoyed our pre-Christmas date night and as always, the service and food were amazing. Even though it was a very busy night, we were greeted by Eric right away, with no delay in receiving our delicious food and beverages. Merry Christmas 🎄and thanks to all of you who have made this our favorite dining spot.😊
