Bar Otto is a fantastic spot with a warm ambiance and great vibes!The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for a casual night out or a cozy gathering with friends. Definitely worth a visit!” And the food was great

All the ingredients are very fresh which makes every bite an incredible experience. Definitely on the more expensive side and a bit of a wait between dishes, but it attests to the detail and care they put into their food. Great service as well. Personally wasn’t a huge fan of the eggplant but the rest was top tier. I will definitely be back to relive some of the great bites, and discover new ones.

My experience at Bar Otto was fabulous. Incredibly fresh ingredients and the service was phenomenal. I found the price to ratio for the Wagyu and Toro not fabulous compared to say Nozy but overall still incredibly tasty. The soft shell crab Bao and the salmon Oshizushi were clear winners. The duck Mazemen was bland.

Good quality fish, nice presentation, very good food and cocktails. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Japanese food.

A cozy spot perfect for a casual night out. We went in on a weekday without a reservation, and there was no wait at all. Highly recommend their drinks, sashimi, and nigiri. The ramen & mazemen were okay. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Fast service

The food was heavenly, and the atmosphere and decoration were amazing. So thankful to our server Nathan who made the night such a memorable experience!

My bf and I visited on Valentine’s Day and really enjoyed the food. We had to return the following week to try the regular menu!! We ordered today’s special menu wagyu, which had an amazing flavour, and the ramen was also excellent! The service was great too.

This was such a lovely spot. We had a good time and our server was nice and welcoming. Our food came out quickly and I enjoyed the ramen, it was a good portion and filled me up quickly. The restaurant vibe is really nice and a chill place to hangout or go for date night.
