Otis Restaurant

A hidden gem of Exeter! Never thought I'd find a tasting menu here and yet, Otis blew me away. The tasting menu changes weekly, and you get two options for each of the five courses. Each course was incredibly plated and beyond delicious! I tried things I wasn't sure I'd like, but ended up loving them. My favorites were the trout on pumpernickel and the sweet potato pasta. The steak was also incredible, cooked to perfection and oh so juicy. It was a blast sitting up at the bar, seeing things being prepared in front of you. The pacing of the courses was perfect, we had enough time to savor each one and chat between them for a nice long date night. I loved the entire experience, and the price was so worth it. I can't wait to come back to something totally new!

Really great deal for a 5-course yummy dinner. Portions were just the right size, 2 options to choose from for each of the courses but all were well-prepared and delicious. One of the desserts, a sticky pudding with bourbon, was fantastic and a bit intoxicating! Good service but not a lot of tables so be sure to make a reservation.

Beautiful historical building with fantastic windows. Unique, comfortable and artful atmosphere modern and shiny! Welcoming, gracious, attentive staff. Cool vibe, yet inclusive. Open kitchen and great ventilation so you don't leave smelling like the food--but if you did, it would be amazing smells as the food is absolutely outstanding. I went with friends/coworkers and we split 3 entrees as apps and then had dinner. Every.single.plate. was SO beautiful and delicious! I loved the thoughtfully crafted salads and entrees -- this is what others aspire to. Stop reading this and just go see for yourself. I can't wait to go again.
