The staff was friendly and attentive, and while you'll need to find street parking, it wasn't a hassle. The menu has a wide variety of options, and honestly, everything sounded delicious--it was hard to choose. My breakfast was well-balanced and thoughtfully prepared. While the flavors weren't especially bold, the dish was fresh, satisfying, and came together nicely. Overall, Otto's is a great place for a relaxed breakfast with excellent service and plenty of tempting menu choices.

Even though there was a wait, the bartender and server kindly invited us to sit at the bar so we wouldn't have to stand in line. Our food took a little longer than expected, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the quality of the food more than made up for the extra time. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the overall experience was wonderful. We had a great meal and a very enjoyable visit. Highly recommend!

I visited twice this weekend, and both times, the staff accommodated my weird asks! I almost never order an entree except to split, and for brunch Saturday, the bartender allowed me to order a single waffle and some of the most amazing cream on the side (on the menu with the dessert waffle). Perfect portion and I swooned! All my beverages were fresh and tasty, but my favorite snack of the trip was their chips And guacamole. I took the extra chips (made fresh) and they were still crispy the next day. MAGIC!

The Goetta is a regional dish popular to the area comprised of sausage and potato fried like a smash burger. It was packed full of flavor and was nice and crispy. A must get was the biscuit and gravy. Unlike the southern style which is usually thick and creamy, this has amazing seasoning, plenty of the sausage crumble, and rich texture. The biscuit underneath was soft and savory and paired very well in this dish. The filet and eggs were perfectly cooked and had good flavor. There were a lot of diced potatoes on the plate to enjoy which was also well seasoned and crispy. Lastly the big easy omelette was very good. I do like the fact it was plated on top of a piece of toast. The biscuit and gravy along with the omelette gave a very strong New Orleans feeling. The cocktails also hit their mark. Local distillery Riff was the maker of the bourbon for the mule. I'm not sure of their lineup but it compared to Bulleit Bourbon. Very stable in the cocktail without being overpowering. The hard truth was a coffee with a punch and a great way to start a vacation morning. The restaurant was deceptively large from its outward appearance. There is lots of seating available and the tables moved swiftly. The large garage style doors allowed for full fresh air circulation and opens the brightness from the natural lighting. Being a corner location they were able to maximize on the opened interior dining experience. Overall 4.7 out of 5

Great story and can see why they are successful. Burger was full of flavor and filling!! Had the blue cheese burger was a great choice for me. The wings were great would have liked to been able to split up the order to try more flavors but maybe next time. The smoking prior to flash frying gives another layer of flavor and would be very complex with some of the flavor profiles of the sauces I'm sure. Great job Midway!! And you better not sleep on this place it serves great food but also has an amazing supply of bourbon and spirits for sell and drinking.

My husband brought me to Baker's Table for my birthday dinner. I first became aware of this place…read morewhen I started getting ads for the chef's sourdough book on social media--got the book for Christmas, and apparently talked about that enough that he decided I needed to experience the restaurant! What's striking about the restaurant itself is how quiet and calm it feels. With limited nightly seatings and every dinner table doing the tasting menu there's a sort of orchestrated flow that permeates the space. Not to say energy is low or it's so quiet you feel self-conscious talking; it's just that nothing about the experience feels rushed or accidental. As expected, the bread course was phenomenal as was all the food we enjoyed! We opted for the wine pairing along with dinner, which results in about 1.5 or 2 full glasses over the course of the meal. The sommelier did an excellent job introducing and explaining each wine, as well as why it was selected to pair with each course. All told, a lovely experience and one worth repeating--and not just because the menu changes every season.

Unless you're taking out, it is a sit-down place and be waited on. Service was great! And, it was, hands down, one of the best brunches we've ever had! Meals averaged about $15, serving sizes were perfect, as in no leftovers to take home and throw out days later, but very filling! Huge Mimosas. I got the French toast with bananas & bourbon syrup, hubby got the spicy breakfast tacos, and our daughter got the goetta grilled cheese with scrumptious smashed potatoes. Kid's will soon fly back to their respective destinations. My husband and I will definitely be back!

I LOVE the vibe and wish we had been able to come in the evening…read more We were here midday on a Sunday during Pride. It was packed on the street, but it was pretty chill and empty inside. The speakeasy jazzy vibes were def up my alley. They were wrapping up brunch service, so we were just glad that we were able to get some food. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit which was super greasy but very filling and delicious. My partner got a scramble, which he liked but there were some very hard bits of we think the meat in the dish, and I chalked it up to it likely being the last bits of the available brunch offerings. But he was a little disappointed about that. As for the drinks...the thing that drew me here in the first place, as a gin lover, I was very very pleased. Delicious, both the ones I got (a seasonal cocktail and a classic) and I simply wish I had more time and money to spend here with a fancy drink in my hand. I would love to come back here on a future visit to the Covington/Cincy area.

The loud fan and busted wall unit circulating warm air did not set the tone for a relaxing brunch vibes. The water carafes were visibly stained and dirty, not refreshing. The coffee was hot, that's about the only redeeming quality. The chicken and waffles was supposed to be a favorite. The chicken was fine but the syrup and hot sauce were basic. The waffle was undercooked and had about as much flavor as a free Hampton Inn waffle. Actually, the Hampton Inn is much better. All in all, for the price this place is "meh" on a scale of 1-10. Not worth the cost on the bill. * The service staff was super nice.

They had parking, and although they were full on reservations, 2 spots at the bar opened up and we grabbed them happily! First, the food was FANTASTIC! I had the Willy Burger and my husband had the fried bologna sandwich and we both loved what we ordered and vice versa. The sauce on the burger was phenomenal! The drink menu was extensive and looked so good but we were in a bit of a hurry and I'm 6 months pregnant so we settled for waters. Second, the service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The ambience was great, I loved the big open garage door and patio seating they offered. The decor was so cute! We are bummed that brunch reservations for tomorrow are full, but we will absolutely be back!

They have a nice outdoor area, which we avoided due to the current heatwave. We ordered two apps - FRIED GREEN TOMATOES - Topped with Libby's pimento cheese, pork belly lardons, bourbon onion jam, and herb oil and FRIED CHICKEN SKINS - Hand breaded and served with hot honey dipping sauce. The fried green tomatoes were nicely plated, though the pork belly lardons and bourbon onion jam did not have the most pleasant color. They were good, but not as great as the description. Fried chicken skin is the thing! I first had it when we lived in California. An Asian market served them up thinly breaded and fried perfectly crispy. I just about jumped out of my skin when I saw it on the menu at Libby's. The breading at Libby's is thick. It's tasty for sure, but it's quite thick. A quick glance at the chicken skins and it looks like full-on chicken. Anyway, they were very good and I would definitely order them again. I had a taste of the hot honey dipping sauce because it spilled. It was good, but for me it detracted from the flavor I'm looking for. I had to have the FRIED BOLOGNA BLT - House smoked bologna, pimento cheese, fried egg, house made BBQ sauce, spring mix lettuce, & sliced green tomato on grilled 16 Bricks sourdough. First, it was huge! I could only eat half. It was very good. All the different flavors mixed together well. It was messy!! It was so obviously messy the server brought over extra napkins without us having to ask! Top Notch! Oh, the mac and cheese side was just okay. I barely touched it. The second half of the sandwich was delicious cold. It was also not messy at all. The leftover mac and cheese had turned inedible in the fridge. I did not mind throwing it out. My friend had the CLASSIC TURKEY CLUB. It was also huge and she only ate half. The fries were crispy and delicious. Mark had THE DOC HOLLADAY. He said it was okay. He also only ate half. I think he enjoyed the cold leftover more. I like the menu; lots of options. The place is cute. The staff is great. We'd definitely come back.
