| - November 2012, staying at the W Hotel in Montreal. Hungry. Generally fearful of hotel restaurants. Lazy. Checked out Yelp to see what people had to say about Otto, in my hotel. Horrible things. Scared. More lazy than scared - went to Otto.
I could not have been more pleased. I was away on business and traveling alone, so I oped to sit at the bar, located just to the side of the main entrance. Great bar service, well prepared martini. Relaxed and ready for dinner. Started off my meal with a salad that consisted of baby wild arugula, caramelized figs, fresh ricotta, hazelnuts, with a sage and honey vinaigrette. For my entree I had the black cod, marinated daikon, black sesame seeds and pak-choi. Everything was absolutely delicious.
I was able to get a late checkout a the hotel, and decided to have a late lunch prior to driving back to the states. Upon walking into the restaurant, the hostess remembered my name, asked me how my night was, and where I wanted to sit - bar or table in the main dining room. Nice to be remembered. This time I opted for a table. Great room, vaulted ceilings, huge windows looking out to the city. Lunch was just as good as dinner the night before.
Very satisfied.
