I enjoyed Otis so much that I think I need to come back and try out a few more of their options. The food is simple and typical if you ask me but something stands out about it - the freshness and the quality. My favorite thing was the carrots because I never really had a dish like that before. The pasta was good but a bit too rich for my taste. Looking forward to coming back again in the near future! - Andrew Dabydeen
