Otium Restaurant

I would give it 4.5 but Google doesn't do halves. I wanted to try a few things that in my opinion should never be removed from the menu or run out. However overall still a great experience. We tried: *Naan (amazing) *Prawns (OK, we are used to great seafood and this wasn't anything special flavour-wise *PB&J funnel cake (amazing) *Steak tartare (OK, the base crunch was way too hard and there was not much steak vs other ingredients ratio) *Gnocchi (really good, served a bit more greasy than expected) *Pork chop (amazing, we wanted the duck but it was sold out for the night, this dish didn't disappoint and I would highly recommend it) *Potatoes (prepared "smashed" style, delicious) *Squash (good, but potatoes are way better) *Carrots (delicious if you are ok with curry flavour) * Samoa pudding * Chocolate tart

Otium is an incredibly satisfying meal, albeit with some pretty steeped price points. We come here 2-3 times a year as a treat or special date night. Get the naan or Otium crispy potatoes as starters. For mains, the pastas are a no brainer. The seafood items on the menu are quite extraordinary and seasonal. If it’s available, get the heirloom tomato tart - simply sublime. Cocktail and wine program are very strong - but again pricey. This is definitely a restaurant to budget for, but so worth the splurge!

This is one of my all time favorite places. We have been here 5 times in a year and will keep coming back. Everything is worth getting and the menu and cocktails are seasonal so there is always something new to try. The newest brunch addition is great. Brunch is casual, grab a menu, order at the register, then grab your number and a table. They still provide table service for brunch and after brunch, hit up the Broad and a show and come back for dinner!

I had relatively high expectations for Otium - but they were by far exceeded. I made the reservation around 2 months in advance. I have heard a lot about the head chef, and was really excited to eat his food! Everything about my experience at Otium was really wonderful, and the food was amazing! Our server was incredibly helpful and explained everything, and the ambiance of the restaurant is great. I really like the open kitchen, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. We ordered the steak tartare and escargot to start, both of which were 10/10, and the carbonara gnocchi as well as the duck breast alongside the cauliflower. For desserts, we ordered the candy cap mushroom and the passion fruit sorbet. Every single dish we ate was a 10/10, and I would change nothing about any of them. Will definitely be returning to here to try other menu items, but reserving ahead is definitely recommended!
