PROS: Decent-sized portions
CONS: Pricey, mediocre
Otto's is like walking into your uncle Bob's kitchen. Bob wants to show off his culinary skills since he started taking an Italian cooking class the week before. He prepares a table full of dishes full of fancy ingredients, but his execution falls short. The food tastes very much like the meat-and-potatoes that he usually makes, but fancier-looking and with more expensive ingredients. He also screws up and undercooks some seafood and brings out the wrong wine for his guests.
Under such a circumstance, I'd be okay. However, imagine if Bob tries to charge you $30 a plate for the food. Not so happy then, right? That is exactly how I felt about Otto's. The food is more homey, the staff is nice, but the prices are too high for what you get.
