You know what I'm going to miss, when I leave New York City? And it's when, not if, everyone leaves New York City. I'm going to miss Otway and the dozens of restaurants like it that come out of nowhere, serve up some outrageously weird dishes for a few years and then sink away. You know what this place had, the other night when we were there? Cured swordfish with what I think were dehydrated mushrooms. It was weird! I liked it. No other city encourages and attracts innovators the way NYC does. It requires this sort of critical mass of adventurous eaters with money to burn. So look, Willow used to be around here, that place was so great, and you turn around and it's gone, shit, what happened? I don't know. Tip some out, but here's Otway to replace it and a whole new menu of wack experiments. They have whipped ham crackers, which is my favorite kind of dish: the kind that's basically a joke. Food doesn't make you laugh often enough. These guys have had enough of pretentious menu writers. Look, there's gonna be some flavor combinations you've never tried before. There's pine in one of the dishes. Of course there is. There's an uni crepe, which tastes about as good as uni ever does. Cocktails are complicated and pretty good. Hopefully you understand what kind of experience you're in for here. Just speaking for myself, it's my favorite kind. I'm going to miss it. read more

Cute place. Coffee was lukewarm. Sausage was questionable. Service took a while and the staff seemed hungover. But the atmosphere is what earned Otway a 3 star review. Plants hanging from shelves and wallpaper/tiling that's swanky, to say the least. A little slice of Bushwick in Prospect Heights I suppose. Good luck to those making the trek. Hopefully your meal is better than mine. read more

Overall, this experience was a disappointment.  As new parents, my wife and I were on a rare night out without the baby.  The meal immediately started off on the wrong foot.  After we ordered a couple appetizers and told the waiter we wanted to spend some time thinking about our entrees, the waiter came back from the kitchen to tell us that the Chef wants to know our full order and didn't want to do just the appetizers.  In other words, the Chef wanted to rush us.  This is shockingly unacceptable for even the lowliest restaurant.  I have worked as a waiter in a lot of restaurants, and I could not fathom the chef or myself saying anything to a guest that would make them feel rushed.  It's bad for business, as indicated by this review and the fact that we will not return.   The food was also pretty bad.  One of dishes we ordered was the uni (sea urchin) crepe.  Clearly, it was rancid. I have never tasted anything so foul in my whole life.  We told the waiter, who took back the dish.  BUT WE WERE STILL CHARGED FOR IT.  Again, I have had a lot of restaurant experience and when you're paying the kind of prices that Otway charges, you take the dish off the bill no questions asked.  Also, we asked the waiter about the dish before we ordered it and he didn't say anthing about a "strong" flavor.  When we said we didn't like it, he said it was a "polarizing" dish.  I know the dish was rancid.  But even if it wasn't, the waiter should have said the dish was "polarizing" before we ordered it. Lastly, the drinks were boring.  I ordered some margarita-like cocktail and it tasted like someone sapped it of flavor.  It was muted and uneventful.   The service was bad.  The food quality was clearly bad, as demonstrated by the rancid dish.  And the cocktails are lackluster. read more

I've only ever been here for breakfast but the food and the atmosphere have been great every time! The menu is simple but everything is incredible. The coffee is good too and they have pastries to go as well that are so fresh. It's basically the best way to start your day. read more

Otway is an amazing New American restaurant in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn! Went with a group of 4 (wouldn't recommend more) and everyone had a great time. We were stuffed from sharing a bunch of appetizers in addition to individual entrees! The atmosphere was clean, food inspired and hip. Our waiter was very experienced and accommodating to dietary restrictions. Their online menu is great but they also have several daily specials. We changed most of our order after hearing these tasty additional options. We tried: ***bone marrow - they make it without butter but it still tastes like butter :) ***roasted sunchoke with miso sunchoke - so good! Wish more restaurants served sunchoke ***pork rillette with pickles and bread ***aged beef fat fried chickpeas - this was different from most chickpea dishes and reminded me of funnel cake ***fried tripe with HP sauce ***whole dorade with haricot verts and beurre noisette - a whole fish so very large portion ***lamb breast with summer squash - smaller cut but heavy Drink list was decent with a good mix of custom cocktails, wines, beers and digestifs post meal. Otway is great for any small groups. There were two birthdays that night and the parties were given small poppers which looked fun. read more

I can't believe we walked past for almost a year, thinking the small plates/tastes were too precious. Went for their happy hour the other day and needless to say, it was awesome. The cocktails, wines, and eats were so so good. One stand out is probably their bone marrow. read more

I'll start by saying the food was delicious and the service was very nice. But I won't be coming back here - for dinner at least - and that is because this was the most money I've spent in NY for getting the least amount of food. A table of 5 split the fish crudo, burrata, a dozen oysters, the string beans, and the baby kale salad and we each got entrees. Again all delicious, but we went out for tacos after on top of the over $400 bill (we did get drinks but nothing crazy) because everyone men and women included, came hungry AND LEFT HUNGRY. THE PORTIONS ARE TINYYYYYY! If you come here, don't come hungry. I've never paid $32 for a steak and walked away hungry, but that was the case here. The service of food was also VERYYY SLOW, which would have been ok had we not devoured each appetizer and then had to hungrily wait for the next app for upwards of 20mins (I have no idea why it would take so long to serve sliced raw fish for an appetizer but it took upwards of 30 minutes and was the last of the apps to arrive). To me, this place is an overpriced snack bar at best, which is sad because the little bits of food we did get were delicious...but there are a ton of delicious restaurants I could go to in NY and walk away feeling fed. Otway IS NOT one. read more

Heard about this all-women-run restaurant and came by to try (and support) for a dinner. It falls into the Brooklyn restaurant trap that over-delivers on aesthetics, but underwhelms on food. We didn't enjoy any part of our meal from the appetizers to the cheese/dessert course. The menu was inventive, but falling short on experience makes it pretentious. The server was the least pleasing part of the evening. He was knowledgeable but aggressively so. It was like being in a conversation with someone with a high IQ, but a low EQ. read more

Was looking for a new place in the area and found Otway on Yelp. Place has a nice open feel to it that makes it feel bigger than its actual space. Service was quick, and the wait staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. Started with the Chickpeas in beef tallow, which were great. I had the raw lamb appetizer, which was excellent, very meaty, that went well with the other ingredients. For dinner I had the pork with a pea puree, onions and black garlic. The pork was wonderfully fatty and flavorful, and the sauce was great. For dessert I had the blue cheese, with a paired Tawny port that the waiter said went perfectly with it (and he was right). I have a feeling this place is going for a Michelin star, or at least a mention in the guide. read more

Wen for Sunday brunch. Chic decor, open, sunny, intimate. Coffee was hot and delicious, bright, slightly acid, yet with some body. Their fresh baked bread is to die for and the French cheese starter was light, creamy, and magnifique. For the main dish I had the omelette--simple, cheesy, soft, and tasty. Staff were welcoming and friendly. And for dessert a chocolate plum cookie, rich and decadent. What a wonderful experience and lovely Brooklyn gem. read more

Have been here primarily for a pastry and coffee. It's a lovely cafe with a quaint and airy set up. I recommend trying their mocha!

Reviewing for Saturday Brunch: I was excited to try this place out since it's only a few blocks away from home and there's aren't a lot of fancy brunch places in the area really. The space is really beautiful, kudos to the interior designer responsible. It feels like a very chic French bistro, with lots of sunlight and a moderate amount of plants. The clientele seem secretly famous or very important. There were family, there were couples, there were small children. All of relative affluence seem welcome. I went with a friend on a Saturday and we ordered the rye bread with jam to share, and both got the egg sandwich, mine with avocado, his with bacon. First, we waited about 30 minutes for any shadow of food to appear. We thought, since we ordered the rye bread, we'd be able to nibble on something while waiting for the sandos. I mean, we're talking about 3 slices of bread with a dollop of jam and butter on the side. But no, in fact, the rye bread showed up AFTER the egg sandwiches. As my friend put it, they must have been grinding the wheat in the back for it to have taken to long. That being said, the bread was the best part of our brunch. Soft and warm, solid bread. The butter and jam were fine. They charge $1 for coffee refills, which I'm ok with, because it was good coffee. Now let's address the egg sandwich. While the bread was good (crispy on the outside and thin enough to not overwhelm the contents), and there was some kind of delicious garlicky aioli with maybe basil (it was green), that added a flavorful punch to the eggs, we hit a major snag a few bites in: There was bacon grease in my sandwich. I'm a vegetarian, and while I know egg sandwiches are not necessarily always vegetarian, if you're going to use bacon grease, it should be advertised on the menu. Listen, I _know_ bacon makes everything taste delicious, however I just want to be aware that's what I'm getting if I order it. AND, the bacon fat was not all, there was even a tiny morsel of bacon wedged between my avocados and the eggs. I showed my friend the offending meat crumb and he tasted it to confirm- it was indeed a stray bit of bacon that, I suspect, had escaped from his sandwich when the cook decided to just fry everything on the same griddle space. Tsk tsk. Had a more difficult vegetarian than me received such a sandwich, I shudder to think. Also I highly disagree with the egg format of this sandwich. It is quite literally 2 fried eggs fused together in a perfect circle slightly larger in circumference than the bread, which is nitpicking, sure, but it's the almost-hard yolks that really confuse me. If I wanted fried eggs over easy on toast, I'd have asked for it. Quite honestly I've had better egg sandwiches at delis in terms of unctuousness and mouthfeel. It not hard to make a decent egg sandwich. TLDR: The egg sandwiches were unimpressive, and stricter vegetarians than me, beware, they cook with bacon grease, unintentionally or not. The rye bread was the true star of this meal, which seems ironic, but I did notice a bunch of pastries in a display at the bar, so maybe I'll stick with what seems to be their forté: baked goods. The staff was not unfriendly, but they were really understaffed for a Saturday brunch service. There were 3 people in total working the restaurant and it wasn't even completely packed, so wait time was likely extended for this reason, and no one checked in on our table after we ordered. I think they were doing their best under the circumstances. All this being said, I think it's unfair to judge a place on brunch. So might wander in for dinner at some point, because I _so_ want this place to be better than this lackluster first impression I received. read more

So much about this place excites me: 1. It's a half-block from my home 2. All-female kitchen! 3. An adventurous take on what I've started referring to as "fussy Brooklyn fare" that just sings to my yuppie heart 4. Good lighting 5. I get to be the first to review it on Yelp! The husband and I made it out to Otway last night after discussing this interesting new addition to our neighborhood for over a week. We arrived on the early side and were able to snag a table in the window without a reservation, but I think we'll be making reservations in the future--it filled up quickly. Our meal started with their wonderful house-made bread, served with cultured butter (scooped from a giant pile on an attractive bar cart in the center of the restaurant) and salt. This was some serious bread: very dense and flavorful, with great chewiness and a delightful tang. I'm secretly hoping they open a side business selling it by the loaf--I'd be their first customer. My husband had a yummy tequila-based cocktail that was bright pink and, in his words, "tasted like Hawaii." Our waitress helped me select a red by the glass (note: they have a good selection of wines by the glass. I love that in a restaurant) that had just the right amount of spice: perfect for a chilly winter night. We split three appetizers, even though our server told us they tend to be on the larger side. (We were hungry and curious!) On the first bite I wasn't sure about the sunchokes--they tasted charred and tough on the outside, and pairing them with oysters seemed like a really weird choice. But as I got into the dish the sunchokes melted to reveal a creamy, sweet interior, and I ended up fighting with my husband over the last one. The foie gras (a special, not on the menu) was buttery-smooth and decadently rich--it literally melted onto the hot buttered bread. And the uni crepe exceeded my expectations (which were already pretty high): generous mounds of magically un-slimy uni (seriously, how did they manage to un-slime uni?) atop a sweet whole-wheat crepe rolled up with creme fraiche. I'm still dreaming of it today. Unfortunately for me, a minor family emergency cropped up before our entrees arrived and I had to go home and take care of it, but I encouraged my husband to stay and finish the meal (and bring me the entree I'd ordered in a box). According to him the pork dish was understated but still flavorful, and he had a couple glasses of a really velvety, smoky temperanillo and then the chocolate pave for dessert. (Jerk didn't bring me home any of that, but he said it was delicious.) I had the squab for lunch today. Even heated up in a microwave (apologies to the chef) it was outstanding: the meat was gamey but so tender, and the combination of wild rice and tangerine was really interesting. The Otway space is intimate and inviting, with great dim lighting and a cozy bar. The music was a little soporific (my one real beef with the place) but the staff seemed to be having a great time, which translated to the diners having a great time. I'm hoping they expand to being open beyond Thurs-Sun soon, because I could see this being a great weeknight spot to unwind in the hood. Looking forward to more great meals here! read more

I. Am. So. Grateful. For. Otway. It's comprised of the same kitchen staff from my all time neighborhood favorite restaurant that uses to occupy the space - tilda. That means the same amazing, bold, and inventive dishes that make me put this place on my biweekly rotation. I usually get every "out there" dish they've got on the menu. Whether it's hearts, tripe, liver, tongue - whatever it is, it's going to me amazing. Every time I come here, I am told that I've ordered well and it makes me beam with pride. These ladies know their sh*t and it makes me proud to live here. read more

I just absolutely love this place. They have a stellar wine list, yes the menu is small but the dishes always far exceed even how good they sound on the menu. Friendly staff. And it just sorta feels like a well-kept secret except to everyone there who's in the know. read more

I came there yesterday and was their first customer for the day. This is exactly what this neighborhood needs! I ordered mussels and white wine and I was blown away. Soft tasteful dish prepared in a perfect balance. An ideal combination of acidity and sweetness. It was skillfully reduced to the right consistency. Seaweed and sorrel combination broth that is served with Miche bread ( I think it was baked on premise, as well) it it itself a great dish. I got a chance to speak to the chef and learned how much thought and preparation went into this meticulously prepared appetizer. She got it right!!! I can only imagine what the rest of the dishes taste like. I am definitely coming back with friends and family. read more

Love. This. Place. These guys knock it out of the park every time. Sophisticated in every way and friendly in every sense, it's my go-to. Grateful to have. read more

f I could give this place 0 stars, I would. The service was horrible. I sat down and waited 20 min for someone to assist me; 5 minutes after sitting down, a white woman came in gets seated. She got her drink and her order taken, and I was still waiting when the host finally came to my table after noticing I was upset with the nastiest attitude told me that's just the new system of the restaurant. with disgust, I walk out, and what makes this all worse after a few days, I go by to ask to talk to the owner, and she ignores my request and sends a manager to speak to me, which says a lot this is the way they train the staff to be nasty and racist save your money and don't eat here read more

Great for coffee and a morning pastry in Clinton Hill--definitely my favorite chai in the neighborhood, and their croissants are outstanding (especially the ham & cheese). The to-go window is a little slow, especially on the weekends, but otherwise superb. read more

Three stars because the food tasted good, there just wasn't enough of it. The $30 steak was like, if someone took a steak, cut it in half, and gave you just half of it...sad. I've lived in New York all my life so I'm used to small portions, but this was just something shameless about this place. read more

There is nothing I've eaten here that wasn't totally delicious. It can feel a bit pricey depending on what you get/how hungry you are, but I think once you taste the food, you understand. Otway is great for simple but expertly executed dishes and killer pastries (but show up early to get first pick). You can also get a solid brunch here and while I'm not a huge egg person (egregious, I know), Otway easily has some of the best scrambled eggs I've had. It's become one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. read more

Was here for brunch and it was a pleasant experience. Space is light and airy. Had foie gras and chicken liver mousse respectively, plus awesome home fries. Everything was good. Bonus point for metal straws, no plastic, kudos! However, service was just decent and could be more attentive. I get it's weekend brunch but there were only 3 other tables, staff never checked on us once. They were busy chatting with each other behind the bar, did not even make eye contact with us so I couldn't wave them over. I had to go up to the bar, ask for the check, and go back to the bar to hand back the check. Also not sure what's the deal with the green and super dim light in the bathroom. Kind of creepy and couldn't see my face in the mirror it was so dark, what a contrast with the dining room. But overall, good experience and wouldn't mind visiting again, if I happen to be in the nabe. read more

Boyfriend picked up a chicken sandwhich to go and it was pretty bland, as in almost no seasoning. Was a really long wait for drinks/coffees as well. read more

i rarely (read: never) leave reviews but this experience was just so bizarre and left such a bad taste in my mouth. i walked into otway early sunday afternoon, walked to the counter, and simply inquired if there was a wait for a table for 3 (a party had just paid and left). the host stared at me and said only 'yes there's a wait,' and then stared at me some more. he did not provide vital information, such as how long the wait would be, etc. it was so uncomfortable and rude--he clearly did not want me to put my name down. he didn't say anything else and so my friends and i just left. will honestly never go back, which is sad because i hear the food is very good. read more

Our new favorite brunch place - light, fresh and delicate food. The pastries and bloodies send me. Amazing, amazing food.

Place is great. Food is delicious. Service is outstanding. Decor is spot on. I've had the brunch and the dinner both were very tasty. More interesting menu that makes you like things you've never had before. read more

This is one of those restaurants you almost don't want to review since the secret will be out! Amazing small plates that are always gorgeously plated. Chef Claire is an absolute rockstar in pastries, meats, and beyond -- there's always a whimsical, interesting item on the menu. The service is amazing: it's everything you want from a local spot. Sam is a wonderful host and makes everyone feel special. ALSO gorgeously designed, cozy interior that works for whispered flirty conversations or groups of friends catching up. And cool plants -- what more could you ask for :) I would eat here everyday if I lived back in the 'hood. read more

I'd been here once before and really enjoyed the food, service and overall decor. So, when my boyfriend asked me to find a place for dinner for 7 on a Saturday this place came to mind. We were excited to go back, as the menu is always changing. The evening started out good enough. However, we were seated at a long table, which was not conducive to 7 people talking. The music was loud, so we found ourselves talking loudly. We didn't really think anything of it, until the bartender rudley came over and said that we had to quiet down, because "patrons were complaining." The complaining patrons were white. We were a more diverse table. I think this was an instance of the restaraunt allowing white privilege to dictate public behavior. I was highly offended. What was more enraging was that we spent over $600 in food and wine. They didn't even bother to apologize for having to tell us to lower the volume of our voices. I will never go back and would never recommend this place to any forward-thinking, liberal individuals. read more

Really disappointed with our experience at Otway as I was a huge Tilda fan and had high hopes. However our booking was 8pm on friday night and by 9pm a server had still not come to take our order - I had to call someone over. When we finally went to place our order the server said "Oh were you not informed, 3 of our menu items are unavailable tonight". 2 of these happened to be our preferred options which would have been helpful to know on arrival. We asked the server to give us a couple of minutes to make another selection and no one bothered to return to us so we asked for the check and had dinner a few doors down. read more

Otway became my favorite restaurant in NYC!!! It's not just a meal... It's a gastronomic experience. Each dish has million flavors that complement each other! Please, do it a favor to your palete and eat here today! read more

The chef deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. I was having a battle with my hangover, came here, and split the chicken and roast beef sandwich with my great friend Morgan (you'd love him). Afterwards, the taste infusion turned my tentative nature toward venturing out into the world into pure ecstasy and excitement. The world was no longer something to be feared but something to explore and enjoy. It. Was. That. Good! Kofi Annan good! So take a minute, grab a bite and enjoy a great lunch. I did and my life is better for it. Cheers! read more

So pleased we came across this place for Sunday lunch. Great care and quality in the interesting and delicious choices. We will go back for dinner! read more

This is by far the most delicious, lovely restaurant I've been to in AGES. I swear it beats Olmsted, which I also thought was great. Every single dish we had tonight was impeccable, exciting even. And the service is wonderful, the space is gorgeously comfortable, the cocktails are fabulous, and the portions are substantial, and the prices are quite moderate. What more could you ask for?? Two of us--super hungry and always excessively big eaters--ordered nearly every appetizer and shared one entree: -chickpea snack: deep fried in beef tallow and tossed in a seasoning reminiscent of salt and vinegar fries (Crazy addictive!) -Little gems salad with buttermilk dressing and pickled fennel. It was perfectly dressed and had these incredibly fried buttermilk curds (!) and dill powder on top. And was huge, for $12, I think. -Complimentary house-made bread with crazy delicious butter. The bread was a country sourdough (multigrain, perhaps), that was piping hot, tender and toothy on the inside, with a crispy, perfect crust on the outside. -House cured Ikura tarts -- these little two-bite tarts, made with a crispy shell, a little creme fraiche (I think), and a pile of ikura, for $5 a piece. The Ikura was incredible -- more fresh and briny-clean tasting than I've ever had. -A steak tartar toast -- this was so good we almost ordered a second. Marvelously seasoned almost-raw steak (I actually think it was slightly cooked, maybe seared just a touch, then chopped up and seasoned really beautifully), topped with a pile of green spring things (I think it was shallot greens, raw snow pea slices, and charred spring onions), on top of their amazing house-made country sourdough. This was quite large--a big appetizer for two and would have made a terrific lunch for one ($15) -Snails--five or six fairly large, tender snails, along with 5 or 6 perfectly cooked fingerling halves, in a bright green green garlic sauce. I almost licked the plate. Thought about asking for more of the delicious bread to sop up any remaining sauce, but I thought I'd restrain myself at least a little. -Pork entree was, I believe, grilled pieces of meaty pork belly, on top of a perfect puree of spring peas and a bit of perfectly cooked barley pearls, topped with a blood sauce. I thought it was going to be overwhelming, as there was a LOT of blood sauce, but whoa--it was perfect. I'm glad we shared it because it might have been too rich for me to eat on my own (um, considering how much I'd already eaten, especially), but half a plate left me marveling at how good it was. -Two cocktails each, all of which were really, really good (especially the rhubarb gin drink). And, they served them in highballs and tumblers, not tiny little cocktail glasses (which is a trend I am not keen about). -Too full to order dessert. -The check arrived with two house-made miso-orange caramels. I thought they'd be interesting, but I didn't expect them to be delicious. I was wrong! Crazy perfect flavors together. Total bill: $145. And again, the service was perfect. Friendly, down-to-earth, and attentive without hovering. I don't think I've ever quite raved about a place like this before. I mean, usually I'm critical of SOMETHING (or a lot), but this place was spot on tonight, in every way. (Last time we had the radish salad--enormous and delicious! Perfect, delicious radishes (like, did they grow them out back?? So fresh!), dressed and topped with shaved bottarga; the black sea bass entree, and the smoked beef tongue entree -- all very good.) read more

Just ate lunch here. Got there at 11 so it was more of a brunch situation, but it's the Lunch menu. So so so good. The table shared the anchovy/harissa toast, the lettuce and herb salad, plus a slice of housemade bread with butter. For our entrees we ordered quiche, an omelette, and the soft boiled eggs with ramp toast. Great coffee and cocktails too. Get the Sunday cocktail. I really couldn't believe how good the soft boiled egg/ramp toast was. For dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake and the fromage tart with berries. Excellent excellent. Great service too. read more

One of the best meals I've had in years! The decor was beautiful and the ambience was very serene and pleasant. For appetizers, we had the uni crepe, enoki mushrooms, and gem lettuce salad. The uni crepe was the standout but all of the appetizers were superb. For entrees, we had the sea bass fillet with artichokes and pork loin with morels and pea shoots. The entrees were less interesting but still very good. Our chocolate pudding dessert with black currant and oats was AMAZING! I would go back in a second just to have that dish again. My one gripe with Otway was the small piece of bread we were given at the beginning of the meal. How can you only give one small little piece of delicious, crusty bread to two people? Overall, a great experience! read more

I live close to Otway and have passed it several times. The restaurant is one of the most beautiful I have visited in Brooklyn, with lots of natural light and plants. My friend and I visited on a Saturday for brunch, around noon, and the place was bumping, with a mix of couples and large groups. We ordered coffee and two egg sandwiches--nothing too complicated. The main issue was that the service was terribly slow, to the point where I had to ask our server several times for coffee and water refills. We had different servers coming to help us, yet no one seemed to be attentive. The food was good but certainly nothing outstanding and nothing that justifies the price. I really wanted to like this place but probably won't return. read more

I had a very disappointing experience there. It was a ten o'clock breakfast meeting and the restaurant only three other tables occupied. There was one waiter who completely ignored me. He came to me finally with a dirty dish in his hand from the table that he chose to clear before attending to me. I asked for water and what kind of decaf teas they had and he snarled because I had requested something from him. I then asked him for the password and had to wait for him to return ten minutes later without the water and an attitude that he had to repeat the password twice. When I wanted to order poached eggs he said " we don't do that" which seemed a little strange since on the menu there were other salads w " soft" eggs on the menu. I then asked for a soft boiled egg and they sent over two hard boiled eggs that were cold and sliced as one would with hard boiled but just a little softer yolk.not a properly presented soft boiled egg. The service was unspeakably bad and the food wrong as well. I would have sent it back but it was a business meeting and I did not want to interrupt with this as an issue cause clearly he was too inept to do the right thing. The menu looked lovely but the service and the actual food was an insult to the customer and it really angers me that the management permits this terrible service and poor presentation of what could have been delicious food read more

We love Otway so much, and are so glad to be eating their egg sandwiches again! (Our go-to weekend breakfast.) The pastries and bread are delicious, the wine list is great. So happy to have this place in our neighborhood! read more

If you have ever been to this restaurant some time ago, you must go again right away. If you have never been, go! Small it may be... But the current chef, Ian, has created a menu that has some complexity but delivers distinctive tastes that will delight your palate. Samantha, the owner, "mans" the bar and presents some house cocktails that will excite and satisfy, The 5:30 to 7:30 pm slot tempts you with $15 per dozen oysters that are exceptional. Do I have to admit that my wife and I went 4 days in a row when visiting Brooklyn so we could try everything on the menu? read more

I hadn't eaten so well in a very long time. The quality of the food is amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly. The menu is sophisticated but it's not one of these overpriced restaurants the food taste great but you can't necessarily recognize what you're eating. It's not too experimental. It's creative and sophisticated but I like the fact that you can still recognize almost every ingredient used. I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was also very good. Congratulations to the the all female cooks and staff. What you do is amazing! read more
