" I recently tried OTARU for a dinner date, and it was honestly the best sushi I've had in Pittsburgh! The ambiance really adds to the dining experience with those stunning views. The sashimi was fresh and flavorful and much better than any other place we've been. Service was great, but we did have to wait a little longer for our drinks, which was a bummer. Overall, will definitely return for the amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been hearing so much about OTARU from friends, and I finally had the chance to go. The atmosphere was intimate and romantic, the fish was fresh and deliciously prepared, and the view made the experience even better. Our server was sweet but seemed a little overwhelmed during busy times. I enjoyed the chawanmushi, which was fantastic, but I ended up leaving a little hungry because the portions were quite small for the price. Overall, a lovely experience, but I might try for lunch next time to see if it’s any different. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an excellent dining experience at OTARU. The food was fresh and beautifully presented. From the moment we walked in, the service was attentive. The highlight was definitely the sushi. The only downside is it can get quite busy and a bit noisy, but the quality of the food makes up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at OTARU and it was wonderful! The ambiance was enchanting with a great view of the Pittsburgh skyline. The fish was marvelously fresh, and I was particularly taken with the sushi. Our server was sweet, though it took a while for our drinks to arrive. Despite that, it was a delightful evening out! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing experience! The food was fresh and bursting with flavor! The staff was attentive without being intrusive. They manage to create a wonderful atmosphere with both the decor and lighting. The quality of the sashimi definitely places them on my list of favorite sushi spots in Pittsburgh!

" Oh my goodness! This place is a game changer for sushi lovers in Pittsburgh. The beautiful plating and fresh ingredients make it worth the prices. The service was top-notch; we felt very well taken care of throughout the meal. I would say it's a fantastic choice for a romantic dinner or a celebration. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here for the first time last week, and it was impressive! The menu had plenty of fresh options, but I particularly enjoyed the grilled salmon. The ambiance was inviting, perfect for a date night, and the view was beautiful. However, we felt a bit rushed toward the end of our dinner, which was disappointing. Overall a great dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
