    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 today
    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

    Hello Rachel! Thank you so much for your review. We definitely identified some issues we had on Friday night and will be implementing better strategies for future busy nights, like Valentine's Day. I appreciate your feedback.

    Sitting at 4 top by steps you get bounced every time staff come down from kitchen or upstairs Not first time I have been at this table. It gets a bit nerve racking. I would teach staff to slow down and step down lightly vs pounding the floor
    Otto'sResponded today
    Hello Timothy! I really appreciate your feedback about the experience you've had at your table. I could see that being unsettling. I apologize about that, but I'm really glad you let us know. I'll advise my staff to be gentler when coming down the steps. We never want you to feel uncomfortable. Thank you for your review. Hope we can serve you again soon! -Alex, General Manager

    All was well , It was valentines day right a 4:00 pm Doors had just open and there were about 20 people waiting outside. So the place filled up fast and the service was stressed for the first half hour, my biggest problem was when I ordered dessert it took over 25 min. To receive it along with my check? Other than that all was ok.
    Otto'sResponded today
    Hello James! Thank you so much for your feedback. Unfortunately, our dessert times were definitely our weak spot on Friday night. I apologize for the wait, and then feeling rushed out. That's not our standard. Luckily, reviews like this help us improve for the future. We appreciate your review and take your concerns seriously. We hope you can come in again, and we can provide you with a better experience. -Alex, General Manager

    We enjoyed an excellent meal. The filet and scallops were delicious. Our waitress was great and took very good care of us. It's a smaller place with great atmosphere.
