This time I came over for lunch before a meeting and it was magnificent. A salmon salad the size of a serving platter with a huge, deliciously crispy, salmon fillet with apples, raisins, cranberries, lettuce, tomato, walnuts etc, that made a solo lunch into an epic meal. Service was absolutely superb. The server kept making rounds ensuring I didn't lack anything. Always with a smile. Couldn't all for anything better

When I first walked in, I wasn't impressed by the interior decor or layout. It felt a little odd, especially with the bar tucked away in the back right. The space seemed like it had recently taken over from a previous restaurant and didn't feel very unique or cozy. The hostess seated us quickly on a Friday night, but we weren't greeted by a waiter for about five minutes. We ordered soups to start. The French onion was great, but the tomato soup wasn't anything special. The Hell on Noodles dish sounded interesting, even though I'm not great with spicy food. The waiter said it wasn't too spicy, but I would disagree. It was delicious, just too spicy for my liking. My boyfriend ordered the pho with grilled chicken and really enjoyed the authentic flavors. Both dishes came in generous portions.

I love the setup and the decor! Great food, great environment, great drinks! Staff were friendly.read more

There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

Helped us pick some glasses of wine which were exactly what we were looking for. A special appetizer was Tuna Carpaccio. The fish was beautiful, sliced paper thin and served with a stone fruit dash and a mint and lemon dressed local watercress. It was a perfect light refreshing start to our meal. My wife and I both got the arctic char. It was perfectly cooked. The skin was absolutely spectacular ...crispy and well seasoned. A side of a crispy potato and pancetta cake was exactly as described. The asparagus were perfectly cooked. And the herb citrus sauce went together with everything. A perfect meal! If you live in the Keene area Ottos should be on your list. And if you are visiting the area, it will give you special meal which will be highlight of your visit.

Bartender didn't impress. Not sure he was experienced. Give away was putting olives on martini containing grapefruit juice, not mention an even number of olives (bad luck). The menus were fancy and I ordered a shaved roast beef sandwich with au jus. Shaved roast beef was on par with Steak-umms. French fries were your typical bagged fries. All in all it was ok at best.

My partner had the short rib ravioli which was also excellent. We are whiskey/bourbon drinkers and the one thing that whiskey/burboun drinkers like in their old fashioned type drinks are single, large ice rocks and not the little broken ice chips that easily dilutes your drink. These are so easy to make yourself. Just buy an ice tray that makes them. The other thing whiskey/bourbon drinkers like in their drinks are the bourbon cherries and not just the plain maraschino cherries. Just two easy recommendations to elavate the experience. The staff was also very friendly.
