The food was absolutely delicious. The fried lobster was the best Ive had so far.(Im on a quest for best fried lobster). However, if you go; know that they dont have a liqour license and only serve wine. Our waitress Camille was very helpfull and informed me that there was a liqour store next door where I could buy liqour. This was a perfect dining experience. Great food, great wait staff great atmosphere. I cant wait to go back

They simply do everything right! A wonderful getaway 30 minutes south of Toms River via the Parkway. Farm to table, BYOB. For me and my wife the bill came to under $150 including tax and tip on 2 separate visits there.

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary at Ott’s. Chef Geoff is phenomenal. He catered our welcome dinner and when we dined at Ott’s for our anniversary, Chef Geoff brought us some appetizers that he served at the welcome dinner. It was so thoughtful and such a special way to remember our wedding a year later. The owner, Bob, is also very kind and hospitable. If you are celebrating a special occasion or just love excellent food, I highly recommend Ott’s Good Earth Garden!

Haven’t been here in a while as the last few times were less than impressive. Went with a friend that wanted to try the four course dinner. Her Cod was over cooked. Other course she said were just ok. My mushroom wellington was just ok… it used to be fabulous. Not sure why it isn’t good anymore. It reminded me why i hadn’t been back. Fair at best. We both left with the same impression. I am over it.

Always delicious food! Love this place for a special occasion, like its a byob. We had octopus,fried burrata, rack of lamb,blue crab gnocchi and peanut butter cheesecake.
It was our 6th anniversary and decided to try this place in our neighborhood. Amazing. Food incredible. Our server Camille; phenomenal. I purposely read the all the negative comment prior to going. Two common ones were that the food was salty or people felt rushed out. Neither was true in our experience. Will be going back soon. Thank you to the staff a great experience.
Kid-friendliness: There was a family at the chefs table.
So first I would say that the food was the best part of this experience. For what this place was trying to be it has fell a little flat. Let's start with the fake roses in a vase with water to make you THINK this place is upscale. They were even lazy enough to not even cut it to length to fit in the vase and just bent it so it fit. The food was over salted to a very terrible level. This place wants you to feel like you are fine dining and the illusion is you are until you look under the hood. If you are looking for a real fine dining experience don't go here, employees were friendly but did not go above or beyond to even refill water after we drank them Would not recommend.
Our meal at Ott’s was extremely disappointing. The appetizer was OK and our friend’s salad was actually quite good, however, the entrees were all disappointing. The duck was very dry, the skirt steak had to be sent back because it was overdone, but came back and was very grizzled and chewy, and the monk fish that comes with the scallops just wasn’t appealing. My wurst combination plate was actually quite good, at least until 11 pm, when I came down with food poisoning. I spent the next morning at urgent care and fortunately, it only lasted a day. When I spoke to the manager, he was very polite and apologetic, and he said their executive chef wasn’t there that night. He offered a gift certificate, but I assured him we would never be returning.

Calamari was extremely small, overcooked and fishy. All entrees were extremely salty. Specials were not as the waitress described them (lobster was supposed to come with risotto and came with succotash). Owner was extremely rude when an inedible meal was sent back. Bill was also priced higher than items on the menu. Eat anywhere else.
