    Came here for a girls night dinner a couple months ago and forgot to write a review so here it is. Ambiance is a 10/10 and so is the service. The food was quite tasty as well. We wanted to try their espresso martinis and we weren't disappointed. My friend got a regular one while I tried their tiramisu inspired one... wow. Definitely recommend!!

    I stopped in for the first time as I've heard great things about Otto's. We didn't have much time so just grabbed a drink outside. We ordered a Mai tai, a mojito and two others I can't remember from the bar cart outside the restaurant. Everything was so yummy- though I would have loved to see some garnish (some mint) for the mojito. The bartender was so nice and got my order in before he closed. I'll have to return earlier to try some food and another specialty cocktail.

    This was my first time here and definitely not my last! Service , ambiance and food were all 5 stars for sure. I originally came here to meet a client and ended up staying for food and drinks with another friend who also wanted to try this place. I am a lover of any kind of oyster and these were so fresh , I could have easily ordered another round. I have a lot of special things to celebrate coming up so I do plan to come back with friends and family and have a good time !!!

    It makes sense why Otto's is recognized as a Bib Gourmand because wow! The food, thr atmosphere and ambience, and the service were all top notch. I could've just stayed there all evening and night ordering food and trying plates because the portions were perfect and the food was SO ridiculously good. A perfect edit between Cuban and Florida food - our lobster croquetas were the star of the show, the tres leches, the bistec con arroz y frijoles were just heavenly. And my husband loved his drink too. We can't wait to come back already!

    Went on a Wednesday to celebrate a life event. Got there early but they seated us right away. Our server came over right away and got our drink order. Two very good old fashions. Started with the fish dip and some oysters. Fish dip is actually a pretty bigger portion. Almost as big as the flavors. Very good and they brought some extra bread wedges as we needed them. The oysters were very good. Baked in a chile lime butter sauce. We had the skirt steak (another big portion) and it was very flavorful. Just the right amount of char complimenting the preparation. Black beans, rice and tostones finished off the presentation. The Mariscado was delicious. Plenty of mussels. clams and shrimp. The fish portion was also just about right. I will say the chorizo gets kinda lost in the dish. Good once I discovered the bits in the bottom but really not adding much to the dish. The broth was very good and I took the leftovers home. We finished off the night with an attempt to eat the Toasted Coconut Rum Cake. They had a nice flambe presentation and we couldn't finish it. It was very good the next day as well. Staff was attentive from the server to the expeditor. All made sure we had a memorable experience.

    OK, it's been too long to write about Ottos, and I've been going for a few years. This update, dated April 2026, summarizes a few thoughts. The ownership group and consistent staff at Otto's High Dive continue to bring a refreshing atmosphere, great customer service, luminous and invigorating cocktails, and a vibe! Now Ottos is a Bar, yes, but they also offer what I would say is above-average food dishes for a dive (Ottos is not a dive, but you get what I mean). In fact, there are times at Ottos that I think the staff is more interested in telling you about the food and what goes into it than in the cocktails they have. (hey, that's ok)! By far my favorite cocktail is the Emerald Dream! If you are reading this in late April 2026, it is sadly no longer available, even if you see it on the menu (which you just might). Go for the drinks and the vibe, but stay for the food and service! Ottos is a great addition to the Milk District.

    Otto's is a very unique take on a Cuban restaurant with high-end flare where it matters and keeping things simple where you should. Starting with the smoked fish dip, it was very light and fresh and a good way to wet the palate while we sipped on drinks. Square Grouper was a very fun cocktail both in color and flavor. If you like deep flavors, the Cuba Libre isn't your average cola cocktail and packs a delicious punch. For mains, we went with the classic Ropa Vieja and the roast pork. This is where Otto's shines taking such simple meals and executing them perfectly. Both were so juicy and tender and the rice and beans are not just a side but a memorable addition. The restaurant is very quaint and perfectly on theme without being cheesy. Parking can be a struggle so be sure to arrive with plenty of time before a reservation, which I also highly recommend. Our waitress was very sweet and easily explained some of the more unique cocktail ingredients and their features. She also helped formulate a custom drink for one of my dining partners who was looking for something specific. Otto's comes with high praise from both locals and media and I see why. Everything across the board was very well done and I would return in a heartbeat.

    We made reservations for Sunday brunch at Otto's High Dive and I'm so glad we did--this place absolutely lived up to the hype. Our group ended up sampling what felt like half the menu, and everything was consistently excellent. The Mojo Pork Sandwich was a standout--packed with flavor and easily big enough to share. The Pan Dolce was just as impressive and the perfect sweet complement to the meal. The drinks were just as memorable. I started with an espresso martini that was perfectly balanced, and we wrapped things up with the Floridita Daiquiri, which was refreshing and done right. Great atmosphere, fantastic food, and a menu that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend grabbing a reservation, especially for brunch!

    Coqui mocktail
    Ashley A.

    A review from an n/a drinker: The coqui mocktail has pandan, granny smith, citrus, coconut, and pineapple. This drink really blew me away on how refreshing, delicious, and wholesome. I do not like to drink so sometimes ordering a mocktail can be disappointing as it could be too sweet and lackluster in flavor. Otto's high dive does an exceptional job on making this drink like a whole experience. You're not just getting a mocktail, you're getting a carefully crafted drink full of flavor that invites you to sit back relax and enjoy a taste bud party. I couldn't say I would go back to any place for a mocktail, but I sure have found it here at Otto's.

    I love Otto's High Dive. I have been twice now and I will certainly try to go more. We went for happy hour on a Thursday but it was so fun and such a vibe. The interior is so pretty and the staff is so great. Shout out to Brandon the bartender. He was really nice and cool and really made our experience. The prices are excellent during their happy hour. I can definitively say there isn't a single item on the menu that I thought was just ok or just good. Everything here is excellent. We got the tostones, frita burger, beef pincho, and smoked fish dip. For drinks, we got the banana coffee, mai tai, mojito, and Brandon's drink which is key lime pie in drink form. I think everyone should go at least once. Beyond the fact that there is so much love and thought that has gone into the menu, service, and concept, it is a fun place to go to. My only gripe is the parking lot. They share it with other places so it's very limited. 10/10 I will be back.

    Shrimp bisque
    Madison L.

    We came in for their Valentine's Day pre fixe menu and had an incredible experience! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Service was fantastic! So friendly and attentive! They started us off with a beautiful flute of champagne. I also ordered the chancleta cocktail and it was absolutely delicious with mezcal, watermelon, mint, and salted coconut. My boyfriend loves their ton of bricks cocktail. We had a lovely amuse bouche, which was a classy touch. Our first course was the shrimp bisque. It was so rich and flavorful. Next, was the burrata salad. It was very zesty and the cheese was super creamy. Next, we enjoyed the 6oz filet with patatas bravas and broccoli. This is one of the best steaks I've ever had in a very long time. The meat temperature was perfect. The seasoning was exceptional. The quality was stunning. Everything about this was heaven. To conclude, we enjoyed the rich chocolate cake. It was so rich and sweet in the best way. This was a phenomenal Valentine's Day and we will absolutely be back for another experience!

    Started at the bar for drinks and apps. Jason the bartender was incredible and wildly knowledgeable. It's always refreshing to feel that passion! The place is cute, was packed, and the food was very good. Not sure the next time I'll be in Orlando but I'll be back!

    Crab Cake Benedict
    Taylor T.

    So glad I chose this place for our brunch with the girls! The atmosphere and decor was beautiful and clean. Our server was friendly and gave us awesome recommendations. I wanted some modifications on my drink and entree, and they happily accommodated me! I got the banana coffee without alcohol, not frozen, and added milk/cream. And I subbed the hollandaise sauce with mojo aioli for my benedict. DELICIOUS! They did not skimp on the crab and it was flavored beautifully. The plantain cornbread was subtly sweet and the coddled eggs were super jammy. I had a couple bites of my sister's lechon asado, and it was the best dish we had there! The prices are a little steep in my opinion, but at least the food is actually worthwhile. I would definitely come back here!

    Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

    After months of anticipation... I finally made it to Alfie's…read more It was exactly what I was hoping it would be: a slice of culture. Real people. Real life. Real youth. Real energy. Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded. No complaining about that ! lol

It evokes another era, the 1930s and 1940s, a hidden place where people escaped reality for a few hours and where every whispered conversation felt a little more dangerous than it should. There is something about saying the name out loud that feels almost mischievous. Even before stepping inside, it conjures images of old Hollywood glamour, forbidden romance, and the kind of longing that filled classic films. The sort of place where people met not because they had to, but because they couldn't stay away. The space itself more than lives up to the promise of its name. Death in the Afternoon is one of the most visually interesting places Orlando has to offer. It feels intimate, mysterious, and wonderfully removed from the ordinary. I couldn't help but think of The Great Gatsby, not because of excess or extravagance, but because of that same sense of romance, possibility, and yearning for something just out of reach. In fact, I visited twice in the same afternoon. My first stop was simply to satisfy my curiosity and see if the reality matched the image I had built up in my head. It did. So after completing the rest of my three-hour Mills 50 walk, I found myself drawn back for a meal and a chance to enjoy the atmosphere a little longer. The menu is limited, so choose wisely. The salmon entrée was excellent and easily the standout of my meal. The Caesar salad was pleasant enough, but the salmon is what I would come back for. As a perfect ending to the day, a dear longtime Yelp colleague joined me and we spent some time catching up on the latest news and gossip in our circles. Good conversation, a memorable meal, and an atmosphere that feels like it belongs to another time. Death in the Afternoon is not just a restaurant. It's the kind of place that stays on your mind long after you've left. Make sure your stay is not over 2 hours tho ..

The vibe is laid-back, the music is at a good volume, and it's a great place to enjoy dinner and drinks without feeling rushed. To start, we ordered the croquettes and the Caesar salad bites. The croquettes were very good and something I would absolutely order again. The Caesar salad bites, however, completely stole the show. They were insane and are a must-order every time I come back. For our entrees, we ordered the rigatoni and the chicken. This was my second time getting the rigatoni, and it was just as good as I remembered. Rich, flavorful, and easily one of my favorite dishes on the menu. The chicken was also very good and cooked well. That said, if you're looking for a protein entrée, I'd still recommend the tomahawk. My group ordered it on my first visit, and it's still one of the best dishes I've had here. The cocktails were excellent as well. I started with the Forbidden Bloom, which was fantastic.

They weren't bad, but they lacked any creativity or presentation to justify the price. We sat at the bar, and I have to say the service was good. One more downside: there's no self-parking, only valet. It's $5, which isn't terrible, but it's still an inconvenience. Overall, the atmosphere felt too chaotic for what I was expecting, and I wouldn't come back.
