We loved Otto’s!! We came in early on a Friday night without a reservation, and they were able to accommodate us. The food was really good, the atmosphere in such an old building was fantastic, and the service was excellent. We were visiting the Cincinnati area for the weekend from out of town, and will definitely be back if we are back in the area again.

Came here for a celebratory brunch after the flying pig half marathon and it was fantastic! I made a reservation and thank goodness because we got there when it opened and there was already a line at the door! Delicious pancakes and great mimosas!

First 2 times I went here were very good. I again went today but ordered Togo. My bacon was burnt to a crisp I don't know why the cook would accept that as ok. Not going back after this.

We had a great birthday meal here. Service was excellent. They have outdoor seating, which is a bonus. The only downside to this place is the parking (there isn’t a lot available unless you want to pay for the covered parking garage).
Be mindful when booking your reservation! They offer as late as 8:30, but close at 9. We ended up just getting drinks and an appetizer and eating our meal elsewhere as a result. We will be coming back though!

Amazing food and service...as always! Greg served us and we felt pampered! The fried green tomatoes were amazing, the Cajun pasta was delicious. My son had the country fried pork chop, which, he said was the best pork chop he's ever had! Otto's is always one of our favorite restaurants!

I was so excited to try this restaurant. It was our one year anniversary & we decided to try it. First off I did specify that it was an anniversary & hoped that we would have gotten a "Congrats or Happy Anniversary". But nothing was said :(. Secondly, I didn't realize it was just a "Brunch menu". Lunch looked amazing but was not offered. That's on me, I should have checked. However we were there so made the most of it. Our server did a good job, no complaints with her service but the food was not good. . There wasn't much of a selection on the brunch menu. We ordered and food was out in less than 3 minutes, tops. Maybe sooner. From the time we got there till the time we left it was less than 30 minutes. Obviously food wasn't cooked to order. I love goetta & it was hard & no flavor like it had been sitting in the kitchen for a while. The steak & egg burrito was also bland. The steak was overcooked & also tasted like it had been just sitting in the kitchen, cooked, just waiting for someone to order it. I really had high hopes but now won't be going back to try the lunch or dinner. Wasn't impressed at all unfortunately.

I took my wife out Saturday for our 5th anniversary. I wanted to go someplace special, you know, not the usual American bar food or the corporate "all taste the same" chains, so I did some looking, some research and I came up with Otto's. What a nice, casual dining experience. The bright paintings give it a nice comfortable artsy feel. There is also outdoor dining available. The employees are so nice, polite and professional. Heck, they actually talk to you!!! The food is wonderful. Absolutely wonderful, and that bread pudding is to die for!!! We will come back. You can't go wrong at Otto's.

The hostess would not seat us early for our reservation with open tables available, but the food was so delicious it was worth the seating hassle. We ate at the bar and the bar service was great.
We loved everything we ordered at Ottos. My scallops were perfectly seared atop a yummy risotto. Fabulous mushroom soup, not too thick or thin, just right. My husband raved about his halibut and figgy flatbread. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, but not overly so. Cool vibe and back story. Wish we lived closer so we could become regulars but, alas, just passing through for the eclipse.
Impeccable service and delicious food. One of my favorite places for brunch and never disappoints. I wish I could remember our server's name but he said he was somewhat new and he did a great job!
I was surprised that the inside had a New Orleans vibe- which wasn't disappointing- just expected more fine dining atmosphere. The food was amazing. No one in our 6 person party was dissatisfied. Those of us with the pork chop felt it was the best we'd ever had! The halibut and scallops were very good too. The fried green tomato appetizer was better than excellent and a large portion! That's rare these days! Ext naive bourbon menu- Eagle Rare was available and a treat for me! We will definitely go back!

Stopped on our way from Ohio to Nashville. Quaint little place. Friendly staff food was very good. Had the Burrata which was some toasted baguette pieces with mozzarella and tomato. Also had a Cobb salad and the special sandwich which was a toasted sandwich and cream of mushroom soup. Overall a very tasty stop.

Good place where to have a friendly dinner. Dishes are good, maybe some of them should revised or improved, but quality of food is high. Great and fast service.
