| - I took myself to dinner at Otto's on Friday night, expecting to find a seat at the bar which is intimate and relaxed...
No such luck.
The bar was full when I got there, not a seat to be found anywhere. The crowd was a little older than myself, average range 50-60 yrs old. I liked the atmosphere of the bar area and was disappointed that I had to go up the stairs for seating at a table for 1. I was determined to try the food however, and shook it off.
The host was very accommodating and offered me my pick of tables. I settled on one upstairs (on the the 2nd floor of the old farmhouse). I started with the cheese plate where I selected the gouda and petit frere, which came with grapes, apples, and crackers. Very nice presentation and a tasty appetizer.
For my entree I decided on the scallops. The presentation, again, was beautiful. Saffron rice in the center, scallops around the perimeter, with asparagus "bridges" hinged on the rice.
I nearly finished the entire plate - very, very delicious.
I recommend the restaurant as a relaxing evening out when you want to be assured you are going to get a great meal. Dining alone was not optimal in this setting as it was very group & couple oriented but would have been better in the bar area.
