" I had a dinner reservation with some friends at Otto's and was excited to try their meals, as I'd heard so much about it. However, I did leave slightly disappointed. The food was average; I ordered the portobello burger which was underseasoned. The service was okay but not remarkable. The atmosphere was nice, with lovely river views. I might return for lunch to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Otto's lives up to its reputation! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and could not have been happier. The waiter brought us complimentary dessert for the occasion, which was a lovely touch! The lobster roll was fresh, and the baked cod melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The atmosphere is romantic, with low lighting and lovely decor. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for an intimate dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of visiting Otto's last week for dinner and found it charming! The menu had a delightful variety of choices. I ordered the seared scallops, which were divine! My partner enjoyed the lamb shank, and it was hearty and flavorful. The river views added an appealing touch to our meal, but the service was a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, we enjoyed our time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Otto's caught my eye while wandering through Augusta and I'm so glad we stopped in! The baked brie was exquisite! We also tried the seafood pasta which was good but could use a bit more seasoning. I loved sitting outside by the river and people-watching. The service was friendly, and it's clear the staff loves their work. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I had a dinner date at Otto's last week. The garlic bread with warm cheese was a highlight! However, both our entrees were slightly overcooked. The atmosphere was nice, but we expected the food to be more on-point. Our server was wonderful and very proactive, and we appreciated that. Overall, it's a charming spot with potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Otto's was a delightful experience! The menu had so many appealing options that it was hard to pick. I went with the seared scallops which were cooked perfectly! The service staff was not just polite, but they seemed genuinely happy to be working there. The ambience was cozy, and sitting by the river made the meal even more special. I will definitely return for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" Otto's has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants! We were welcomed warmly by the staff and seated promptly. The crab dip is a must-try appetizer, and the fish tacos made my day! The portions were filled generously without feeling overpriced. The ambiance was lovely, especially near sunset when the river sparkled. Can't wait for our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
