Je suivais l'établissement depuis quelque temps sur Instagram, & chaque publication me donnait plus envie d'y aller. Par un soir d'automne, on a enfin sauté le pas - & on n'a pas été déçus.

En apéritif, la limonade maison était rafraîchissante. Puis nous avons partagé quelques entrées aussi fraîches que goûteuses, avec des saveurs qui font voyager dès la première bouchée.

Mention spéciale aux baos au crabe à carapace molle : le mariage des oignons, jalapenos, herbes fraîches & de la sauce sucrée-acidulée créait un bel équilibre. La texture du crabe croustillant contrastait parfaitement avec la tendresse du pain vapeur. Chaque bouchée offrait une harmonie à la fois raffinée & réconfortante.

Le chirashi, lui, se dégustait lentement. Un plat tout en délicatesse, où chaque ingrédient mérite son moment.

On y retourne ? Très certainement. Ne serait-ce que pour tester l'omakase du chef, qui promet une expérience encore plus poussée. À confirmer, mais il me semble que la carte change au fil des saisons - une excellente raison d'y revenir encore… & encore.

Bar OTTO is one of my new favorite places in the city for exceptionally good food & cocktails. The service was absolutely fantastic - our server was super friendly & made us feel very welcome. We sat at the bar - which made for great views of both the bartending & kitchen. We were really there for the drinks, & boy did they not disappoint. I had the best cocktail in the city here - the Spicy Marg!!! It was literal perfection - the bartender is incredibly talented & also very kind. We also got the crab boa & cod cheek skewers which were absolutely delicious. We will be coming back for a full meal & more Spicy Marg's very soon!

My experience at Bar Otto was fabulous. Incredibly fresh ingredients & the service was phenomenal. I found the price to ratio for the Wagyu & Toro not fabulous compared to say Nozy but overall still incredibly tasty. The soft shell crab Bao & the salmon Oshizushi were clear winners. The duck Mazemen was bland.

After a disappointing dining experience at Joe Beef, I wandered down the street peering into all the other warm & welcoming looking restaurants, convinced that any of these could serve me a better meal than what I just had. So I picked Bar Otto at random & went the next night. What a great decision! The octopus was the highlight. The soft shell crabs were delicious. The soft doughy bao was also extremely satisfying.

Truly top notch service. The yuzu lemonade was delicious, & so was the karaage. The rest was just okay. We had the torched salmon sushi which was fine, the crab baos which were overly salty & mostly tasted like soy sauce, & the open sushi rolls that were honestly quite bland. The yuzu dessert was really not good. The cheesecake was overly compact & sweet.

Amazing Japanese food selection, fresh sashimi, chirashi options & crab bao. Absolutely love the Grape Republic wine selection. Wish more people new about this place so they would get the traffic they deserve ❤️

Very surprised by all the strong reviews. I had high expectations & they fell flat. The crab bun had good flavor but the crab was tiny & had practically no meat. It just added crunch to the bun. The sashimi platter disappointed me the most. It says it comes with 10 pieces, with 2 slices of each fish. The slices were so thin & small that it was as if they took a slice meant for 1 person & sliced it again. Uni mazamen had a clumpy creamy sauce that didn't taste like much. Uni & Ikura were not fresh at all. With that being said, service was great! Cozy place.
