Great place for a meal and dinner! Go visit Otto's. We have enjoyed Otto's for years.

Good food, lively but pleasant dining room. Excellent service. And fried green tomatoes!

I love their breakfast! They have a delicious bacon/cheese/ grit! They have mimosas in tap!

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! I took my wife to Otto's for our 5th anniversary celebration. I was looking for something other than the typical American food or the conglomerate food chain garbage. Wow!!! I love this place!!! The people are so nice and courteous. The food is amazing!!! Thank you, Otto's. We'll be back. That bread pudding is to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I love the vibe of this place. I got Otto's benny and my friend had the lox and bagel, both of which were great. We will definitely be back. read more

Cool atmosphere and delicious appetizers. We tried the baked brie, brussel sprouts and truffle fries. The baked brie was yummy and the bread it came with was just as good. The brussel sprouts were to die for! They were sautéed with bacon and maple - extremely good. The truffle fries were a hit as well! Since the apps were heavy I opted for a light dinner - Farmhouse salad with salmon. The salmon was great but the salad itself was a bit sad. Felt like nothing really was on it but a few crumbles of goat cheese. Excellent service! read more

I highly recommend this establishment. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the southern fried pork chop, Brussels sprouts, and fried green tomatoes. For desert I had the bread pudding and tried the cheese cake. Our server was very kind and friendly. We will come back. read more

stopped in for brunch (thanks to Yelp recommendation) and was not disappointed. inside and outdoor seating, great service and food. eggs Benedict are served on a grits cake which was an interesting twist. only one egg though, two would have been better. great value too read more

Tonight a friend treated me for a belated birthday dinner my birthday was the beginning of May but it's the first chance we were able to get together. We sat at the bar, before 6 PM they have drink specials and half price on appetizers so we enjoyed fried green tomatoes they were delicious cooked just perfectly. My friend had to wait on me as I was stuck in traffic getting over the bridge to Covington, note with the construction going on in the neighborhood you will have to drive around to find a spot. Matt the bartender & our server was patient while my friend waited for me & didn't rush us to order after I arrived. Tuesday nights they also have bottles of wine for $18 on special which my friend loves wine so she enjoyed Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm a beer drinker and with it being summer I enjoyed a 50 West Blackberry sour which was delicious. My friend ordered scallops for dinner and I went with a steak salad and truffle fries to share. Our food came quickly and my salad was an extremely generous portion I really enjoyed it, the steak was cooked just perfectly with grilled peppers, onions, tomatoes and olives. My friend enjoyed her scallops and the truffle fries were delicious. My friend finished off the meal with a dessert chocolate pot de creme I was stuffed from my meal. I also found out tonight they own Frida's the Mexican restaurant nearby and also are working on a third restaurant. A great meal tonight at autos only two minor things it was a bit warm in the restaurant and the smell of seafood was a bit overwhelming, I have a seafood allergy I can be around it but it times that's all we smelled in the restaurant. read more

Husband I did a boozy brunch at the bar as the restaurant was packed inside and out. Staff was friendly - food and cocktails were great!

I like to visit this colorful little space for brunch. The service is good and the food is yummy. It can be crowded but it's a solid spot if you want a good meal read more

First visit and will definitely return. Went for brunch and food was great. Décor was beautiful. Service perfect. However could not give 5 star as the noise level was shocking when entering. Luckily have hearing aides which I immediately turn to lowest setting. Noted the sound level issue is due to high wooden ceiling. As wood does not absorb sound strongly suggest having a contractor in to suggest sound abatement solutions. read more

Food is great. Service is sometimes slow but usually solid. Ambiance is unique & seating is intimate.

Get your reservation now! The eggs Benedict was the most unique and delicious I've ever had. It's fried polenta: it puffs up to fluffy soft amazing goodness. I am a sucker for country ham, so I was super happy they include it in their version. The portion is pretty big. My husband got the lox and bagel. They are very generous with the lox. It's so cute inside. Crowded and not quiet. That's not a bad thing. I wish we could have eaten upstairs. It's cozy and beautiful. They rent it out for private parties. I can imagine a very elegant party. read more

Sunday brunch. A concise menu. We had three different dishes, all had inventive twists and were tasty.

Very cute place! Love Covington! Ottos food was good! I had the French toast with strawberries and blueberries on top. Very good! read more

Best spot in Covington. Love it. Never disappoints. Dinner, brunch, anytime. A go to!

Another fun find in KY but really Cincinnati. Ok so I am not local and have not really looked at a map but we ate in KY even though I thought we were in Cincy. What a great little Main Street. We did not have a reservation so I am glad we are early. It got pretty packed after 7 pm. We eagerly ordered three appetizers, hence why I did not have room for dessert. The Brie with a loaf of bread, the truffle fries and amazingly good Brussels sprouts (yes mom I did just write that). Let's start with the fact that the Brussels sprouts has brown sugar and bacon. Yum!!! Roasted to perfection. The Brie was warm and had a fruit compote and was also delicious. The fries were as good as expected. Appetizers did not disappoint. I ordered the pecan crusted halibut with goat cheese risotto. Delicious! Highly recommend. Small menu done right! Everything we ordered was amazing. Pros Great food Great location Nice decor Friendly staff Cons Small menu (we did not mind but picky eaters might) Smaller restaurant so make a reservation I highly recommend! read more

I don't know if we'll be in a hurry to come back, nothing was memorable, but it was all good. The happy hour is strong with all the apps and the salad. The kale caesar wasn't very good but I'm also not a huge kale caesar fan so that might be a personal issue. Then I got the salmon and it wasn't anything great. I tried my grandmother's scallops and they were very good. read more

We came around 11 and there was barely any seating left it was so packed. The server was nice and had a very upbeat attitude. The food and cocktails were great and both exceeded expectations it just took much longer than I anticipated to get the food. I'm sure it's because they were swamped but for having so few dishes you'd expect them to be able to crank them out faster. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for brunch but consider calling ahead for a reservation and hopefully you'll be having a lazy Sunday afternoon with not a lot to do because you might be there a while. read more

Always great food, amazing happy hour specials. Excellent service and a very cool Parisian vibe. Highly recommend.

I came here for a Sunday brunch when my mom was in town and I was having a bit of a crisis on what to order, everything sounded amazing, and all of the sides also sounded fantastic. So, fortunately my mom is just like I am and wants to try everything and we ended up splitting two plates and ordering some all the cart sides. A very good move, because the entire menu was actually lutely spectacular. The breakfast casserole with seriously dense, and very filling, I don't think I would order it on its own, but it had great flavor and everything you could want out of breakfast. The bacon and fried egg oh, Fried tomato, croissant? Was just as good as that sentence sounds. Any time you put something on a croissant it's awesome, you add fried bacon and a Fried tomato? Seriously impressive execution. we set out on the front patio, got great and attentive service the entire time, and had absolutely looking forward to going back, and grabbing a few more items all at once! read more

Finally made it here! It is as darling as I hoped! I love all the character and charm it brings!!! Delicious food and lovely staff! I can't wait to go back!!! read more

I really like this place. It's clear from the moment you step inside that this operation maintains a very high attention to detail. The service is fast, friendly, and fully interactive. No doubt that their menu is strong with some very creative twists and integrations. The Brussel sprouts were nice and sweet due to perfectly sautéed onions. I got the salmon bleu cheese salad. I was a little thrown off by the banana pepper slices on the salad. They just didn't seem to mesh with the other finer ingredients in the meal. The salmon itself was a nice portion and well cooked with good flavor. The dressing though was quite thick and very sweet, which to me was a strange contrast with the blue cheese and salmon. I think I would've preferred a more savory dressing maybe with a dairy base or else a lighter vinaigrette. Overall it was a great experience but based on what others have told me I had a little bit higher expectations for overall palette pleasure and flavor combinations. read more

Amazing atmosphere and food to match! I don't often make it over to Mainstrasse in Covington by if Otto's is any indication of they type of restaurants I need to cross the river more often! Love the decor and the staff is incredibly friendly. They even offered blankets for the seats near the door if it was too cold for guests. Their take on the BLT with fried green tomatoes and an egg is my new favorite thing with the eggs benny a close second. We also tried the Cruffin which isn't an Otto's pastry but so, so good. Several people ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes and honestly wish I had ordered them to go because they looked so fluffy and delish. Next time! read more

Never disappoints! Great food, service and location. LOVE the fried green tomatoes, the best i've in some time. Tomato pie is awesome and the Kentucky hot brown is so rich and decadent, enough to split and too much to eat all at once! read more

We have been here several times and the main entrees are delicious. The service is wonderful.

We popped in to Otto's for a Friday lunch and the service was wonderful, the food was awesome and we had a blast! I am not kidding when I say I had the best drink I've ever had...it was a grapefruit drink and i cannot remember the name of it to save my life but go there RUN THERE and order one. The salad was awesome, ingredients were very fresh, flavors were great and the meat was cooked perfectly! There was a larger group of ladies lunching when we arrived so they seem to handle groups well but this strikes me as a place that probably fills up quickly! read more

First time visiting Otto's and everything was delicious! Such an intimate, quaint experience, service and food was top notch! We ordered Moscow mules, the brussel sprout appetizer (could feed 4-6 people it's so big!) and the sea scallops with risotto and the braised short rib. For dessert we ordered the apricot white chocolate bread pudding, my fiancé said it was the best dessert he's ever had! We will definitely be going again, I've heard the brunch is amazing too! read more

Had a 5pm reservation with my sisters for my birthday. We were seated right away. We ordered cocktails and once the arrived put in an order for a couple of appetizers. While in the middle of appetizers a second waitress came up to take our dinner order. Our entrees came out with salads before we even finished our appetizers. It was all very rushed. While the food was good, it wasn't really enjoyed due to the speed at which we were brought food. Strange. I was disappounted. read more

I am a big fan of Otto's brunch. Even though it is always busy and hard to get a reservation, it usually somehow works out. The French toast with bacon is my favorite. Best bacon ever! read more

One of the best brunch experiences I've had in awhile! In a quaint district of Covington, this place is a gem. Cute decor inside and some of the best food! I Split the pancakes, and had the FGBLT for my entree and all of it was delicious. 10/10 recommend for brunch. read more

Located in the German influence area of Covington, on Main Street, this is one of the best breakfast/brunch places in the area. With street side seating arrangement it's a very good option on a sunny day. Food: We went for a BLFGT minus B (bacon), so LFGT (lettuce, fried green tomatoes, egg, cheese, and mayo served on a toasted croissant) with a tomato dill soup and Lemon Buttermilk Pancakes with a potato cake. To drink, we went for a regular coffee and an ice tea. The LFGT was great. The croissant had a great outer crunch as you bite in. The fried green tomatoes had a perfect juicy-savory balance. Loved the overall feeling of the sandwich - just what you need for a perfect start of the day. However, the star was the tomato dill soup. Slightly tangy and very delicious. The freshness was amazing. Lemon Buttermilk Pancakes were of a little more than normal thickness, which was baffling. However, in terms of taste, it was still great. The mixed berries compote on top was delicious. The potato cake was fine - not a great combination with pancakes - but on its own it was good. The coffee was great. They provide a small bottle of local dairy milk. I like my coffee black but tried the milk separately and it was good. The ice tea was good too. Overall, the food is amazing here and definitely recommended​ if you're looking for some amazing places for breakfast in the Covington area. Ambiance: The outdoor seating was amazing. Of course, nature played a key role there. But they have a very comfortable seating outside and you can see people preferring that on a sunny day. As you walk in, they have good capacity inside as well with a couple of tables on the left and a few on right. They have highchairs option as well where they serve you right at the bar counter. One thing you distinctly notice is their spirits collection which is reflected in their menu as well. Plenty of natural light coming in during AM hours makes the indoors bright as well. Service: I liked the service - fairly quick. The lady attending us was good and friendly. Great experience overall. read more

I've had Ottos twice now; once as a carry out and 2nd time we dined in for a birthday. The first time we ordered brussel sprouts and of course had to order them again at our 2nd visit. They are sooo good. They had sauteed onions and bacon and brown sugar. They were actually better to go because they all sat in the oil and ingredients compare to being served in a bowl. I've had one of there salads with shrimp. Perfect flavor profile. The oysters they had in from the West Coast were fantastic, as well as there parmesan fries my boyfriend ordered. Not one thing I tried was weak in comparison to other dishes. Everything so far has been great and will continually keep visiting. read more

Went here for a Saturday brunch and had an amazing BLT with fried green tomato. Definitely recommend and will be back!

First off, they accommodated us early. Our waiter, Dan, was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We had Brussel sprouts and fried green tomatoes for appetizers. Dinner we all shared scallops, salmon, grits & shrimp, and Cajun pasta. Impressed with all the dish presentation. They were VERY delicious, and very satisfying. Great atmosphere! read more
