    Rae and Patrick. Every chance I get to have them as a bartender it’s not only easy communication, but they sure know how to mix and shake the perfect cocktail. Love the overall atmosphere of the establishment. And love them even more.

    Food was really good. The hummus was amazing and there was actually quite a lot. The burgers were also really good. They didn't stay together very well but tasted great.

    Brunch with the Otter! I certainly have to recommend the weekend brunch. On a cold rainy day their soups are a real warm up as well. Friendly to all, I feel right at home here.

    All of their food has been consistently flavorful, high quality, and very well presented. Family owned/good people. Pet friendly. Kid friendly. Full bar. Need more reasons? Read below. This review took a long time, and I do not often feel impressed enough to write them. The Otter Bar is worth it. It has become my favorite place in the area. Pictured is their reuben with added onions mushrooms bacon and the 'spicy pineapple jam' which transformed a great reuben in to a mind blowing experience. The additions raised the cost to around 30. Reasonable, since it has now become two meals? It's a great price for the quality of ingredients these days. Lisa's Mess is a great burger too. Peanut butter on a burger is not for everyone, first time for me. Highly recommend if you are feeling adventurous. THE BEST PART IMHO: at the very bottom of the menu. Hidden down there you will see a quite extensive and exciting list of additions. You can take any item and turn it in to your own personal adventure. veggie patty with bacon and onions and tartar? Why not? I can become a burger chef with NONE of the talent or clean-up! Expect 10-20 dollar cocktails and 20 to 30 dollar meals 4 stars on the service simply because the bar and kitchen layout creates a long travel time for staff. It's just a large building. Be patient. Sit at the bar for faster service. If you've this far, it's time for The Otter Bar!
