Otto's Restaurant & Bar

Our first time here. Stuffed mushroom appetizer was delicious. Mushroom bisque soup was tasty. Seafood trio consisted of lots of potatoes and red peppers, only 1 scallop, 2 shrimp, and a small square of salmon. It was hoping for more seafood for the price. The salmon in grape leaves was good but lacked flavor. We had the bread pudding for dessert, which was free for our anniversary celebration. It was not a moist cake like a typical bread pudding, seemed more of dry sweet bread/biscuit with a glaze. The old farm house charm was nice. Staff were pleasant and met all our needs. But sadly, we went for the food and the dishes we had were definitely not worth the price. I don’t think we will be going back.

Bryan took good care of us. We don't do fine dining, so we depended on Bryan's recommendations. Three people shared two appetizers and two entrees. The food was very good and we ate until we were full, would love to return again one day.

Nothing particularly stood out, and the dishes felt overpriced for what we received. The seafood platter included only a SINGLE scallop. The sea bass lacked flavor. The dining area also felt cramped and too warm.

My wife and I had never been to Otto's before. We had heard about it, but didn't know much about it aside from seeing the sign. We Google searched some local restaurants for our date night, and Otto's popped up. So we decided to give it a try. It's based out of an old farm house and is actually pretty big. The service was great and the food was delicious. I had duck and my wife had scallops. If you're looking for a restaurant with great ambiance and food, definitely check out Otto's!

Abbie made our night! I’ve been enjoying happy hour in the bar at Otto’s on and off over the past 25 years and it never fails to please. The food, atmosphere and service are always consistently outstanding. Over 20 years ago I began a tradition of celebrating my dad‘s December birthday at Otto’s, his favorite Madison restaurant. Even after his passing, my family and close friends would gather to honor and raise a toast to him. This past week, our server, Abbie, went above and beyond and made our celebration extra special. Abbie is one of the best servers I have encountered anywhere in a long time. Great food and drinks, classy, comfortable atmosphere and excellent service – Otto’s has it all. A true gem in Madison!
