                              My husband and I went to Otis to celebrate his birthday. The food was spectacular and the service was incredible. We haven’t had a better experience and we will be recommending Otis to all of our friends and family.

                              Amazingly relaxed fine dining experience. Sensational food and outstanding service from Ben and Cara, made us feel super welcome and gave our son some excellent tips on becoming a chef. Thanks so much for having us, hopefully we can make it back for a truffle event!!

                              Good food, lovely ambience in well furnished setting. Nice to be able to speak and hear each other across the table without having to shout. Wine choices a little expensive but 3 course meal option very well priced. Generous servings.

                              Been going to OTIS for many years, maybe once every 12 months or so. A few things have held true. One, the protein within the dish is - almost without exception - cooked to complete perfection. Two, the gravy/jus is always deep in flavour and well-balanced. Three, the plating is excellent, albeit spartan. Four, the chairs are comfortable and environment spacious. We went for the 5 course set menu with wine pairing. The scallop dish was very good and paired really well with the Chardonnay. The cold salmon dish which followed was great but I can't comment on how well it matched the wine. The wine-match menu had the word "Chardonnay" (no more details) next to the first two fish dishes. We interpreted that to mean that two Chardonnays would be served. Unfortunately, it wasn't clarified that the single pour was supposed to cover both dishes. Full disclosure: yes, I skulled my wine ready for the second course. No, I'm not ashamed of it. Ha! Wine-match menu probably needs a reprint though. Staff offered to get another drink, but I declined. The duck dish was tasty and the Claret(?) was good. Duck meat was perfect, skin wasn't to my taste as it wasn't crisp. Served with some truffled waxy potatoes which were maybe on the dry side. YMMV. The steak that followed was excellent, as per usual. I passed on the radicchio salad as I've never been a fan of the hot-meat/gravy-cold-salad combo. My wife liked it and was a fan of the miso dressing. The chocolate ganache tartlette was OK but nothing special. Bit hard and cold and the cream-to-tart ratio was... economical. No corners were cut with the Muscat wine match, however. It was excellent. Service was friendly, if patchy. Young staff were learning the ropes and trying hard. Wine matches sometimes presented by sommelier with an intro, other times just placed on table by wait staff. Cocktail menu had some interesting riffs on rarer classics that I didn't get to try, so I'll be back. OTIS is definitely worth your time.

                              The food, and service, are always excellent. The Pepper Steak is superb. Of six in our party, five ordered the Pepper Steak last evening. Otis is tops!
