    Amazing meals. I had the Salmon and the chef was gracious enough to switch out my fries for the goat cheese and pear risotto. It was wonderful.

    Incredible! We started with the Burrata and Brussels, absolutely phenomenal flavors. I had the shrimp and grits, husband had scallops and risotto. Everything tasted so fresh and came out super hot. The restaurant is very pretty, it is a little loud but nothing crazy, we were still able to have conversation. We had a small issue with them forgetting an order and the waiter comp’d the Brussels sprouts for us without us even mentioning it, which was totally unnecessary but very appreciated! We will definitely be back!

    Hello Allison! Thank you so much for this outstanding review! I'm so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food. I apologize about the brussels sprouts. Thank you for being so understanding about that. I'm glad the server took care of those for you! We'll see you next time! :) -Alex, General Manager

    We went on Valentine’s Day. So it was very crowded and you could tell the workers were very busy. But they were kind and did their best. We would definitely go back!
    Otto'sResponded on February 16, 2025
    Hello Taylor! Thank you so much for your review. We learned some hard lessons on Valentine's Day, but the positive side is we know what we can do differently for the future. I appreciate you being so understanding. We hope we can provide a better experience for you next time! :) -Alex, General Manager
