Tomato pannacota, give it a try I thought. Big mistake, ever tried eating a dish of cream with three bits of crispy toast and a knife? Some mistake surely. If I had been paying I would have sent it back but didn't like to make a fuss. Pork belly not great, skin rubbery, no crunch at all. Gave pudding a miss, couldn't be bothered after the first two courses.
Is it usual in Sydney to eat in the dark? We sat outside and had to use torches provided by the waiter to read the dessert menu. Oh, I did send my green tea back as it was undrinkable, murky and sludgy, someone must have thought it should be served as builders tea. Shouldn't they know these things?

Had a fantastic night at Otto. We found the service excellent, attentive but unpretentious and the food was wonderful. We waited just the right amount of times between courses. I thought the mark up on the wines was very reasonable.

What a disappointment. I agree, Mr Laws paid for this Chefs Hat. Service was slow, we waited over an hour for the meal. View is lovely but Sydney has that to offer in spades anyway. 8 Ravioli constitute a main, unbelievable. Much better value, food and service at a million other restaurants in Sydney.

The obvious attraction of Otto is its position by the harbour, and this is why I booked for dinner with two American colleagues. It is hard to beat watching the sun set over the city, but the food was disappointing at best. On arrival at 6 pm, we were the first there, and had booked in advance, but nonetheless were treated as lepers and only after insistence were we allowed to have a table outside - on condition we left by 8:30 so John Laws could have it back (yawn).
The service was OK, but my risotto was "stick in teeth" chewy rather than 'al dente', bathed in oil, and had the most soggy, lifeless sea creatures I have encountered decorating it. My colleagues' fish and chicken were OK, but nothing to write home about.
Considering the high quality of food available for the price elsewhere in Sydney this was very disappointing, but the ambience is nice. If you apologise in advance to your guests for the quality of the food, it is still a nice spot to spend the evening.

I attended a function here and was treated to a wonderful evening. The canapes were exceptional. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere was perfect. I cannot wait for my next visit to Otto.

Had a mid week lunch recently with my partner and enjoyed the whole 2 hour experience. Apart from a slight heavy salt hand with my scallop entree, could not fault the service or the food.

I ordered the entree sized ravioli for lunch and after an interminable wait was delivered five (!) ravioli on a very large sized plate which only added to the weirdness of the whole experience. Apparently someone here believes that five ravioli makes for a decent entree. The service was slow and apathetic. A very disappointing experience, I won't be returning.

I had the trout wrapped in pancetta which was quite tasty, but on the whole I think there are certainly better places in this price range. Service was pretty slow.

Overpriced and overrated is the only way to describe this restaurant, went there on NYE and after dropping $1500 on just 4 pax realised money could have been better spent at many other Sydney restaurants who deserve that business. Service was good, food was ok, value was terrible. John 'tonsils' Laws must of 'paid' for the one chefs hat they have! Do yourself a favour and don't bother with this restaurant.

We went there on friday night, all went well until the food arrived, it was 'Bad', semi cooked risotto, only my sliced raw salmon entree is quite nice. The main course, omg, the veal ragout pasta is salty, no flavour, dry and just salt, the chicken is ordinary in today's standard for a hatted restaurant. Dessert, another less than ordinary effort, another "don't waste your money" spot, ciao.
