    Food was excellent, and service was great! It was Mother's Day and a great experience. The only minor con is a few items on the menu were out, which were two of the dishes we planned to order, and all desserts were gone. Even with that, we still had a great experience and all four of us loved our meals (Filet, halibut, scallops, and salmon).

    We wanted to grab dinner upon exiting the airport at 7:00 p.m. on a Tuesday evening. Otto’s was close by and on our way to Walnut Hills. We snagged a standard table reservation at 7:30. Upon arrival we noticed an outside table was open and were thrilled to be seated there. It has a French cafe vibe & the street scape provides a lovely ambiance. I had the tomato dill soup and flatbread. The soup was exceptional and left me wanting more. The flatbread was very good. My friend had the brie berry salad & fried green tomatoes-both ample servings & beautifully plated. We will definitely return.
