Absolutely delicious food and even better staff. Friendly and cozy atmosphere while being incredibly trendy. Highly recommend their asparagus with crab aioli

Elena is the best server. Braised rabbit leg with apricot and sofrito was fall of the bone tender and espresso martini was to die

Was excited to try this place after walking by many times!I'm pretty shocked that they don't have a single vegetarian entree on the menu. It would be an easy fix to have some kind of upscale veggie pattie option for the burger. Or even better, to do something more culinarily creative like a stuffed eggplant dish was a swirl of pomegranate molasses. But in the middle of progressive Brooklyn in 2024, nothing? Having the pasta without the crab was underwhelming, and it was salty to boot.Loved the atmosphere, and my cocktail was very good. Enjoyed the sauteed apples, and I heard good things about the chicken schnitzel. But please add some kind of veggie entree!

I personally would never go back. The service is awful. They also kicked us off the table at exactly 60 minutes after our reservation with no warning and after we ordered more coffee. The coffee had not even come yet and they didn’t tell us when we ordered the extra coffee. They told us they would bring it in a to go cup suddenly. They said they only permit you to use their table for 1 hour. That is unheard of in New York. It’s always 90 minutes and restaurants that have proper management tell you when they seat you not after they ask you to order more drinks.The food was average at best and the server barely comes by to ask if you need anything else.

I physically cannot live more than 20 minutes away from this amazing delicious haven. Their coffee is amazing, their baked goods are fresh and delicious and so original, everything is incredible and worth every single penny. If these people had some kind of monthly membership I’d sign up. Never ever have I had a mediocre, meal, coffee, pastry, sandwich, or experience. Otway is the best.
I'm a regular at Otway and my partner and I go every couple of weeks. We've gotten to know the staff and the menu as it's changed over the years. This is the perfect restaurant. Fancy without breaking the bank, beautiful afternoon light, cocktails to die for, not a bad thing on the menu. Can't say enough about the Otway team - incredible service and so thoughtful. See you next week. :)

After passing by this place many a time, finally went in for dinner and Otway delivered! Sat by the window at the bar and never felt rushed, a very welcoming and cozy place. Got the Fried Sourdough, Persimmon Apple Salad, Wild Mushroom Risotto and the Otway Burger and no objections, every flavor on the dishes worked perfectly. Thanks Otway for a great experience, see you again soon!

Waited 40 minutes to not receive eggs and potatoes. When I finally asked if the food was still coming, a person who seemed like a manager said they would go check on it and just never came back. I eventually told a server I needed to leave. They charged me four dollars for the single coffee I’d been sitting with for the better part of an hour and offered zero acknowledgment of the fact that they never even made the food and wasted my time. Accidents can happen, but it couldn’t have been handled more poorly.It’s pretty clear the place has a leadership challenge. The food is decent, it is not special, but it is overpriced. I’ve been a couple times before and noticed, as many others here have pointed out, that the hospitality was lacking and simple orders, even just a cup of coffee, took a very long time, but today was ridiculous. Never going back again.
