    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.

    The food is fantastic and the service is great like always. Love the tomato soup, Brussels sprouts, and fried green tomatoes. Our friends were very complimentary of the halibut and pork chop. It was a bit loud as there was a larger group celebrating something.

    Wife and I had dinner there last night. Braised beef, and pork chop. Both cooked to perfection, and very flavorful. Portion size was just right. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Wonderful anniversary dinner on a beautiful night. Front windows were fully open and we sat at the bar. Service and food were outstanding. We had fried green tomatoes, short ribs, scallops and bread pudding.
