To Whom It May Concern,

For the past month or so i have been trying out new restaurants, and the vast majority of them have mugged and violated me. The food has been sub par, the portions so small a microscope is needed to find the meat, and the prices so astronomical i that i i had to hock jewelry to pay for it. For example, $50 steaks that were smaller than field hockey balls, pieces of swordfish that looked like they were from a sea monkey for $40, and just an overall feel of being completely ripped off. Last night i entered Otto with low expectations due to previous high price/ small portion issues at other Mario Batalli restaurants Babbo and Lupa. The portions were so small at babbo i had to grab a slice on the walk home. Instead last night I was presently surprised and thoroughly enjoyed the vast array of high quality meats cheeses, fish and wine.. The price was great too. Granted i ate the plates of meats, cheese, and fish that were for 2 or more by myself (i am non meterosexual man) but for $20 a pop who cares. In summary i loved it and ant you to kindly pass this on to the manager/chef and please keep up the good work.

P.S I thought it was very cool to hear Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd while eating Prosciutto please send my compliments to the DJ/Music guy.


Thanks
