Customer Reviews
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Otis during a cold weekend celebrating two family birthdays. Four of us sat at the bar counter, which ended up being perfect for conversation. From what I understand, they do two seatings (5/5:30 and 7/7:30), with a 5-course prix fixe menu and two options per course. Everything came out together and the food was fantastic. Service was great, and we all left perfectly satisfied. Not overly full, not wanting more (though probably could’ve kept eating because it was so good). Really impressive food and great people. Very reasonably priced for the quality and level of service. Highly recommend for a nice dining experience, hope to go back soon to try other options. If I had to pick favorites (not counting the amazing dessert): the pork duo (I seriously want
Fantastic 5 course dinner that was well paced and not rushed, taking time to let us enjoy each course slowly and completely. The pacing was on point. We finished at just over 2 hours. The food was very, very good, and I'm a fairly frequent Michelin diner who seeks out 1, 2, and 3 star restaurants all over the world. Ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully used to enhance, compliment, and elevate the vision for the dish. Everything was great. It was a culinary experience, and very reasonably priced compared to other places that to prix fixe seating services. I would absolutely recommend this place and will do so. The chef spent time towards the end to speak with patrons which is always nice to show they care about the experience and want to hear from us. Apparently he was a contestant on Ye
May 2025: Another fantastic meal: veggie soup, topasta with kale, salmon, pork, sticky toffee pudding. March 2024:We had a fantastic dinner. An extra bonus was watching the chefs cook, they were like an orchestra so coordinated. The sitting had 26 diners. The menu changes every week. We had bean soup, a choice of smoked salmon salad w potato or polenta with pork ragu, chicken with spinach or cod with carrots, beef with potato and red cabbage or pork and lentils, toffee pudding or funnel cake ( fried dough). Everything was delicious, there was not a single dish that we did not love. Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back!
We drove almost 2 hours to eat here, and unfortunately it did not meet our expectations. The menu said one course was duck with cherries, which we were excited about, but then the waitress said it was a misprint and it was chicken and cherries. She said the misprint was the chefs fault and he'd left on vacation. Odd, but ok. The first course was soup and salad, both painfully bland and unseasoned, both could have used salt and acid. I suggested we ask for salt but my partner wanted to wait in the hopes things improved. The second course was gnocchi and a carrot dish. Again, unseasoned and bland, and we were regretting the drive. I asked for table salt, which made the third course better. The fourth course, both the pork and beef, were wonderful. Salt, acid, well balanced and delicious.
Had the pleasure of eating at the Chef’s Table last night with friends. It was a great time watching the food prep, chatting with the chefs and enjoying fabulous food. Each course carefully constructed and thoughtfully prepared. We tried everything on the menu and the fish dishes and the chicken were the highlight, and nothing was a disappointment. Come hungry as you get a lot of food which makes the price point impressive. Worth a visit!
