| - Wow!! We had an amazing dinner at Otto's last night!
We arrived about 20 minutes early for our reservation but were able to get seated right away. Seating is a combination of communal and individual tables (some high top and some regular). Our server was warm and very friendly, and offered great suggestions/explanations of the menu.
The beer selection is awesome and prices reasonable (based on area of the city and the fact many of the beers are European imports). The food was fantastic, and phenomenal value! Three of us split the Vienna feast ($45), plus added one pretzel and one bratwurst. This platter had great variety - 4 types of schnitzel (pork, chicken, halloumi cheese, portobello mushroom) as well as a good selection of sides (Brussels sprouts, slaw, salad, pickles, spaetzle). It came with lemons, mustard, and aioli. Quality of all the meats was better than I expected (very good) and I liked literally everything on the platter. Food came out very quickly, which was appreciated as we were very hungry!
Interior of the restaurant is very nice - polished concrete floor, Edison bulbs plus other interesting light fixtures, and tons of plants, including on walls and hanging from the ceiling. There was something interesting to see no matter which direction you looked! Bathrooms are all individual, unisex rooms, the locks didn't seem to work very well (my friend and I both had trouble with them) but this is a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things. I also found the restaurant a bit loud, but it was Saturday night at a popular Queen West restaurant so higher volume is to be expected.
Overall a great experience and I can't wait to go back!
