I recently had the pleasure of revisiting Otto's Restaurant and Bar in Madison, Wisconsin, after several years, and I must say that it was an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment I arrived, the inviting atmosphere on the deck set the perfect tone for my meal. My server, Tracy, deserves a special mention for her outstanding service. She was not only pleasant but also incredibly helpful in assisting me with my menu selection. Her knowledge and recommendations played a significant role in making my meal memorable. To start, I ordered the Moroccan Crab Cakes as an appetizer, and they were nothing short of amazing. These crab cakes were a true culinary delight, and I savored every bit...

We used to frequent this restaurant for many years before the pandemic hit. This week marked our return after a long absence. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to find that the prices have significantly increased for the same menu items. The biggest letdown was the fact that they now charge $3 for rolls that used to be complimentary. Even ordering a salad no longer comes with complimentary bread. Furthermore, $7 for a plain iced tea seems excessive, especially considering they charge for refills. This seems quite stingy. Additionally, the loud live music on most nights makes it difficult to have a conversation. I used to have a great affection for this place but now feel somewhat cheated....
Excellent happy hour in a pleasant and unpretentious atmosphere. Appetizers were delicious, and my cocktail of choice was made with perfection. 8.26.23 update: Dinner of filet mignon and mashed potatoes with a side of asparagus was fabulous. Filet cooked to specifications with exacting accuracy and seasoned with such magnificent skill and experience (thank you, Chef! Mashed potatoes are something beyond normal expectations. Creamy, rich and absolutely amazing. House salad was fresh but not special enough to accompany this caliber meal. Vinaigrette is lackluster. Overall, a lovely meal at one of my favorite, relaxed places to dine. Absolutely fabulous
Waitress Casey or caitlan was the WORST, pushy, argumentive, snotty, condescending. One steak came rare. Sent it back, came back charred and rare, sent it back. 30 yes 30 minutes later she got a new steak. If you are expecting the old ottos good luck. It's gone. When we asked for the manager and she said there isn't one. But then later the owner came by, shocked she flat out lied . She heard us complain about her attitude and jumped in and argued in front of the owner. Hope he canned her. Book a table now
I absolutely loved the food at this restaurant! The steak and sea bass were amazing. Our waitress was very friendly, although she seemed a bit busy. The decor has an old school charm, but it could perhaps use a little refresh for the atmosphere. I would give the food a 5, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 4. I recommend trying the Roasted Chilean Sea Bass and the Bruschetta. The average price per person is between $30 and $50 for dinner.
For almost 45 mins NO SERVICE AT ALLL The woman who was running the place told us that we need to wait a little longer constantly the celling was broken on certain parts the servers were not even helping us at all and their food menu was so limited Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
