What Larry Brix doesn't like about Otium:
Just as when we visited a few years ago, the food at Otium was first rate. This time, though, we discovered why many reviewers say the service is, uh, spotty. I have a dairy allergy and asked our waitperson what dishes had no butter or cream or could be made without them. He basically went through the menu and said EVERYTHING either had dairy or would taste bland without it. Period. Most restaurants make an effort to... View all feedback.
Good and bad here. The restaurant should change its name to SALT. Everything was way over salted. My wife and i both loved the flavors but were overpowered by salt in every dish. We both were left dying for water 20 mins after we left. For those with kids, ask for the kids menu. It is limited but better than a $60 hangar stake for a 7 year old. Also be prepared for an additional 5% service fee added onto the bill. It is disclosed on bottom of menu in fine print and then that amount is taxed as well. Its a number when the prices are already high but i guess that is inflation for downtown.
Honestly, I had high hopes of an amazing meal but this place was a complete let down. The lamb neck tasted game-y, the sourdough was black and burnt, and the service was slow. I will say that the steak was incredible! However...when 2 out of 3 things didn't taste good... It's not worth it. Bummer.
Our server was the only thing worse than the food. We were so excited to check out this spot, but all of the food was overly flavored and disappointing. To top it off, the dishes were very oddly paced and the service was absolutely horrible. The waitress ignored us all night, saw that we didn’t like our dishes, and did nothing. She was truly so awful, it was almost comical. Horribly disappointing waste of an evening.
Service, atmosphere, and food was excellent! Just wish they served their dinner menu all day
My favorite restaurant. Every dish was perfection. The salmon tartare is incredible. You wrap it in a shiso leaf and seaweed. The corn agnolotti was so delicious. Also their chicken is on another level. I can't say enough good things. Everything we ordered was amazing!
