    Great dinner. The steak and asparagus was delicious. It was prepared perfectly. My wife wanted to come for the scallops which is her favorite entree. We had a very nice dinner for our 36th anniversary. Thanks.

    Service was slow at 1pm on a Saturday even though the restaurant was half full. Eggs Benedict were amazing, so was bread pudding and the tomato soup is the BOMB. Maybe they were short staffed-will be back!

    Had a lovely first experience at Otto’s! Thoroughly enjoyed the BLFGT with sweet potato fries. My husband got their special, a grilled cheese with turkey bacon and pesto with cream of mushroom soup. Everything was delicious. The price point is very good considering the quality of food! Excellent service. Can’t wait to go back!
