    Our server Brie was awesome! She was so sweet and attentive, and gave great recommendations based on our flavor preferences. I hope to see her when I come back. And then the food…omg 🤤 The burrata dish was so fresh and had so many complex flavors. The freshly baked grilled bread was perfect to sop everything up with, and they gave you a generous portion (I could’ve ordered more bread because it was that delicious but I had to pace myself). I had the pork shoulder pasta and my friend had the lamb shank, and they were both delicious and tender and cozy. Brie recommended the olive oil cake for dessert and it was phenomenal. The texture was light, the flavor was fresh, and all the extra little bits they added made every bite interesting (caramelized apples, pistachios, whipped cream, ice cream, and delicious crunchy bits of something I can’t remember). Overall this was an amazing dining experience and I can’t wait to return.

    Ambiance is lovely. Service took a little while, but I didn't mind. The burrata here is among the best I've ever had. There was so many flavors that were spread perfectly. My entree was their Braised Pork Shoulder pasta and I loved it, the most unique pasta experience I've had. The olive oil cake was decent, not too sweet!

    Delicious food, short but good menu. Super friendly staff. We had a nice time at Otis. Highlight: Beautiful plating / amazing lemonade. Cons: huge rat right outside the door that almost made me fall both on my way in, and out. (I know it’s NYC) Will def visit again

    Everything we ordered to eat for brunch was amazing. The cinnamon bun was INSANE (fluffy, sweet and a little sea salt on top). My friend didn’t like her Bloody Mary but that was the only thing. Decor inside and out is a vibe. Can’t wait to try the dinner menu next.

    Absolutely incredible meal from start to finish. The service was excellent. we started with the burrata which was unreal, then they brought each main we ordered our one by one for us to share like it was different courses and I absolutely loved it. The Pork Pasta is a must try, the Trout and the Lamb Chops were delicious too. We got the mixed Berry Crumble and the Dark Chocolate Brownie for dessert and both were awesome but the brownie was truly insane. They even brought out change to us because they heard my family singing happy birthday to me when the dessert came out even though we didn’t tell the restaurant or anything. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing atmosphere. Small menu but they do everything SO well. Can’t recommend this place enough!! I will definitely be back.

    One of my all time favorite restaurants! The pork shoulder pasta is so yummy, its sweet and hardy but the flavor is complex. Its the ultimate comfort meal. Ive been several times and its always an amazing experience. The mussels are great and the bread is perfect.

    We actually came to NYC almost 2 years ago exactly and had the pleasure of eating here. My wife and i both have craved this place for those 2 years and was an absolute must visit this time. We invited a couple friends of ours who were equally impressed. Service was exactly what we expected, top notch. Drinks were strong and tasty. Food was delectable and extremely well priced. Strongly suggest getting a reservation in advance but they do have seating at the bar top on a first come first serve basis. I will never visit NYC and not come to Otis!

    I've had this place on my list for a while and my experience exceeded my expectations. We caught the tail end of brunch and sat at the counter. The space itself is beautiful - the lighting, the open kitchen, the decor, all so well though out. The service was great too, but most importantly the food shined. - mushroom toast (4.5/5) this was delicious and very well balanced. - burrata (4/5) hard to go wrong here - the bread was so fresh. The tomatoes aren't my favorite base but it was nonetheless very tasty. - the Bloody Mary (3.5/5) - the drink itself was very good, but it was pricy for what you get and it didn't even come with a salt rim and had minimal garnishes. I'd love to come back for dinner - great for a date night or dinner with friends.

    Excellent food and restaurant. We had the burrata with pesto, sweet potato and tomato jam to start and both had the braised pork pasta as a main (and probably could’ve shared one pasta). Each dish was fantastic and had a great mix of flavors and were very generous in size. The restaurant has a great vibe and fun music and the service was fast. We had no reservation and were lucky to get seating at the bar on a Friday night. Will be back with friends and family!

    This was my 2nd time at Otis and it won't be my last. The food was pretty good but heavily salted. I'm a little sensitive to salt, but my entire party, 4 people, agreed that everything was too salty, particularly the steak. The next time I go, I'll be sure to let them know that we're on a low sodium diet! Otherwise it was a lovely experience.

    Located a block away from the L train the exterior decor reminds you you are in a part of Brooklyn that is still finding itself. The interior ambience of Otis let's you settle down while your food is prepared. The service is quick and the food items are hidden gems (the grilled iceberg lettuce is a MUST). From the appetizers to the entrees to the drinks to the desserts, Otis will have you reserving your next trip. Our compliments to the chef!

    Otis was a fantastic meal from start to finish. I came here for brunch with a large group, which allowed us to order almost everything on the menu, and not a single dish disappointed. I particularly enjoyed the Brunch Iceberg, which was a nice crunchy/healthy quasi-salad dish presented as an iceberg lettuce carved in half, and the braised pork shoulder, which was rich and creamy in an al dente gigli pasta which you don't see often. Honorable mention for the wild mushroom toast. This was a 10/10 for brunch and worth trekking out to East Williamsburg for.

    Food was good and presentation of the food was nice. Compared to other restaurants in NYC this place has some improvements to make to stand out. First improvement would be with the waiter. She was not attentive and generally came off as in a bad mood. The hostest with the colorful pants was very friendly!!

    The Burrata, Mussels, and Shrimp Risotto were excellent. The decor is nice and the bar area is very spacious so you can dine there as well.

    Food is really great. Server was incredible. Atmosphere is nice/cool. It was my second time here. Parents were in town + came here with a small group. Overall, it was a great experience. We all had a difficult time picking out our favorite dish. Standouts... in no particular order...were the burrata, pork pasta, mussels, the char fish dish, + mixed berry crumble. We ordered for the table to share... you definitely want to try everything. Will be back again for sure.

    Truly one of my all-time best dining experiences in New York. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. EVERY single dish brought a unique twist on classic dishes that did not disappoint. The inside decor is sleek and stylish. The cocktail I ordered was super refreshing and perfect for a summer Friday night out. This was a special one and I can’t wait to go back!

    Great ambiance! Good is delicious, the burrata and the ribs were absolutely amazing ❤️ perfect spot for a date or hang out with the girls

    Bushwick bar and restaurant. This intimate restaurant has an open kitchen. Watch the chefs create photo worthy entrees and apps. You’ll be amazed at the ingredients they use to create flavorful food. Don’t skip the olive oil cake.

    I enjoyed everything about this place. Cozy. We had a 5-person dinner here, sharing everything. Ate inside. Crowded but not packed. Superb fish and cocktail (try the Out of the Woods)

    What a gem!!!! Every dish was delicious! Pasta pesto, Mushroom toast, Scramble... everything!! The coffee as well was outstanding Incredible experience We will be back

    Excellent. The kind of restaurant you’d tell your friends living in Jersey City to make the hour-long trek to. We had the grilled bread, lamb chops, mussels, and olive oil cake. I’d recommend everything.

    From the moment we entered Otis, the host greeted us with excitement! She enthusiastically showed us to our table and took our coats. Then came our waitress Jayla. She knew the menu well and really got to understand what we were looking for so we could make the right selections. We enjoyed everything we ate. Next we met the bartender who made our amazing cocktails. I loved being there. It was aesthetically pleasing and felt like being amongst friends. The staff had great vibes. Would definitely consider this my default dining spot. Can’t wait to bring new friends.

    The staff is amazing! The food is just as good! I came in with my dog for dinner, and I didn't have his service vest from daycare. They didn't mind and they made us feel right at home, made space for my dog and I, and made sure we were comfortable during our whole meal. Then i ordered the muscles! Wow, definitely order them they'll change your life. The bartender also made me a mocktail since I can't drink, and we had a great time. I really appreciated my evening, the food, and their hospitality. Highly recommend

    Came as a walk in and enjoyed dinner for two at the bar. The cocktail was excellent as well as the burrata appetizer. The mussels lacked in flavor but the dessert rounded out the meal perfectly. Will definitely be going back.
