Small but exceptional menu. Offerings include small portions, great if you want an appetizer, salad and dessert. Service could not be better with knowledgeable staff for food and wine. Wine is too expensive. Charge for bread. Beautiful decor. Nice bar. Unusual but fun drinks.

Everything about Tony's is wonderful. It is our favorite steak place to go. It beats out many of the big ticket names near us in Cincinnati. The price tag will reflect that, so be prepared. We just tried our last big name place near Nada downtown and walked away with the same bill and sad because the food was sub par compared. So, I am just using this as my go-to place, no more experimenting.

This place is the best restaurant I've ever ate at!! We ate there 2 days in a row. The chicken, mac and cheese, spoonbread, kale and sausage dip were absolutely amazing. They had a great beer selection and the atmosphere and service were perfect. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here regularly!

We took my mother in law here for her 60th birthday dinner. The restaurant is small with some outdoor shaded patio seating. I recommend making reservations. We tried their bacon and balsamic glazed brussel sprouts for the table, and they were very delicious. I had the scallops and while only 2 are given with risotto they are very delicious and filling. For dessert the table had the Opera cake and all of us thought this cake was delicious as well. Otto's has a small tailored menu allowing them to perfect their dishes and keep the restaurant quaint. It was a wonderful time had by all. Thank you for choosing Otto's for such a special occasion! We're happy to hear that you all enjoyed your time here, and please come in again soon.

When a restaurant is being remodeled and you make a reservation, they should let you know. This was not quite the experience we expected for our wedding anniversary dinner. The area where we were seated - the yet to be remodeled part - is very tired. Light fixtures and floor covering were missing. We had been to Melting Pot years ago and it was fairly simple The menu mow is quite complicated. You have t choose from several cooking methods. Our error was that we ordered beef and not the oil or grill to cook it. We should have selected the grill. Our server was very good, with lots of information. Most of the food was good, but the beef filet was tough. Very nice salads. If we had known about the remodeling, we would have gone elsewhere and probably had a a better overall experience. The right thing to do would be to close down, remodel and reopen.Doug, I would like to apologize for your recent experience with us. If you see this please email me at [email protected].

This was a great first visit to this very pleasant and comfortable restaurant. The menu offered something that appealed to all of the diverse appetites among our group. Food quality was excellent. We loved the crab cakes, French onion soup, tomato soup, calamari, and pasta. The vegetarian, pescatarian and carnivores among our group were all happy. Between the food and the ambience, our dinner was one of the best weâve had in Cincinnati.
