Truly phenomenal food!!! Although food presentation is very good here, the pictures don't do it justice! Excellent food at some of the best fine-dining caliber of cooking. Very skilled chef in the kitchen of this restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant leaves a little to be desired, but due to the variety of the menu (with each item being crafted with attention to detail), the dining experience here is charming and worthwhile despite its environment. Price is slightly above average, but inexpensive in comparison to a serious fine dining restaurant in the US. Genuinely, this was the most mouth-watering, flavor-chocked burger I've had in years. Great value for sheer deliciousness and variety of food. Would love to bring friends here or to come on a cute date night!

I love Otis.@12. It’s a new Brookland quality family spot and I highly recommend it. The menu is unusually eclectic — take a tour of Italy, America, and the far East. You’ll enjoy every stop. It is actually the best Asian food in the neighborhood now, since BangPop moved on. We love their Asian menu and order that often. Prices are relatively high but the portions are enormous and more than make up for it. The black bean chicken, for instance, is over twenty dollars but easily feeds both me and my husband for dinner, with some left over. The owner is a great guy, very professional, and very present. You can tell he puts a lot of effort and love into this establishment. Don’t be turned away by the… somewhat bewildering name (why not Otis Cafe at 12th?? One might ask), or the simple ambience. It’s a quality place and worth patronizing. Love you Otis.@12!

Food was DELICIOUS!!Came here for dinner. Got the orange chicken and my husband got beef with broccoli. Both were very fresh, generous portions, and came out quickly. Glad to have this spot in the neighborhood. Will be back!

I freaking love the food. The food is amazing, fresh, organic, and it’s made with love. I’ve been a regular since they opened in January of this year. I really loved his wok Asian cravings. He told me to expand my horizon and try the other menu items. After expanding my horizon I’m glad I listened to the chef. He’s phenomenal and I’ve tried the entire menu and there are no skips. EVERYTHING ON THE MENU IS PHENOMENAL. Everything is a 10 out of 10. If you haven’t had Otis @12 then you’re missing out. I eat here every single week. And I will continue to spend my money here because the food is that delicious. Great vibes, positive energy, great atmosphere, and delicious food. I’m so glad his restaurant is in my neighborhood. I’m so blessed :). THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT FOOD CHEF!

I used to work across the street from Otis Restaurant, and from my very first visit, I fell in love with their delicious food and exceptional customer service. The dishes are always mouthwatering, and the staff is extremely friendly, making every visit a pleasure. Be sure to check out this picture of their fantastic English breakfast—it's a must-try! 🙌

Rode by a few times, but was apprehensive because I never smelled food from the outside. Usually that’s the test, if I can smell the food from the outside you have good food. I decided to give it a try. When I walked in, I was greeted as I grabbed for a menu. It smelled like waffles, I was told that the last person ordered chicken and waffles. With the aroma filling the air, I decided to copy and try the chicken and waffles (which I was told were chicken tenders and a Belgian waffle). About 15 to 20 minutes later, my food was ready. There’s so much potential for them it’s crazy, but hopefully they’ll get it right. The syrup was already poured on the waffle with strawberries and banana bananas cut up over it. The chicken tenders, not the waffle had the powdered sugar on it. My food was placed in a bag and I went on my way. Got to my destination and it’s time to eat… The chicken tenders must’ve been fried in old grease and tasted just like old burnt grease, not edible as you see the food that was left not eaten. Because the syrup had already been put on my waffle, the waffle had absorbed it. All that was left was a dry waffle and old burnt tasting chicken tenders, which equals a waste of money. If they can tighten up, there’s definite potential but new or old establishment, never fry food in burnt old oil!

The food here is amazing! There is great variety on the menu. I’ve tried several of the wok items-all excellent. I’ve had the chicken piccata-very good. Tonight I had a salad with salmon, which was delicious. The service is good and workers are friendly. Otis @ 12 is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and my husband & I hope Brooklanders will come out and support this restaurant.

Love this place! Good food (I’ve had breakfast and lunch here so far and I really liked the Kung Pao Chicken), comfortable neighborhood atmosphere (good for families and meeting people), and really good and friendly service. Looking forward to making this a regular spot!
