We had an amazing wine dinner here recently. Food, service and ambience were amazing. They are allowing BYO at the moment and the sommelier was very helpful. All the wines were served in the appropriate stemware. Would agree with their one hat status.

Sensational food and atmosphere.  The wait staff were excellent. Very knowledgeable and attentive
A bit on the pricey side but for the food quality, service and location it's worth it for sure

We did a “little meze” with the specials menu,
ordering a little bit of everything off there…
The seafood was beyond outstanding.
Summery, outstandingly fresh produce,
with subtle clever spurts of flavors that made our experience truly delightful.
Service was impeccable and as always the atmosphere is vibrant and relaxed.
A great lazy afternoon with impressive food and wonderful company.
Bravo and thankyou Otto 🍋

Sit back, check out the yachts and views up to the new Art Gallery, Otto's is a true world class restaurant. We had a seafood degustation: starting with a sfoglialine (thin puff pastry) caramelised onions, and smoked anchovy. This is a crisp start to a wonderful lunch. Followed by a wheel of yellowfin tuna, atop a delightful saffron aioli, with pickled mussels. it's a dish that sits light and is strikingly bright and tasty. There's the zucchini flowers with a bug and schnapper mouse with a creamy lemon and dill sauce. The strozzapreti is a twisted pasta with a calamari meaty sauce with black olives.
Then you are served a little halftime orange segment with Aperol jelly, a lovely refresh.
Sitting at the end is a sweet treat that makes you sing or shudder with delight, lemon misu with citrus sorbet and a drizzle of olive oil.
we teamed this with a crisp, dry and floral trebbiano from Veneto, Italy.
It's a pairing that just suits.
thanks to the wonderful waiters who led us through the six courses and offered advice and suggestions.
I did finish with a hot chocolate, which rubbed shoulders with the lemonmisu like a cat purring .
Make Otto's a destination and strap in for a treat. it's more than worth it.
