Otto's Restaurant

I visited for breakfast, and my experience was excellent. Otto's offers your typical American breakfast foods -- biscuits and gravy, pancakes, egg dishes, etc. -- and excellent coffee. I like a light breakfast, so I got the avocado toast, which came with two poached eggs, tomato slices and arugula. It was more than enough, and with a little sprinkle of hot sauce, it was great. The side of potatoes that I ordered really hit the spot, though. The breakfast potatoes are more like steak fries: perfectly brown and crispy on the outside, and soft and mealy on the inside. The service was great and quick. They do that thing here where the servers don't write down your order, and instead they just listen to you and you hope they get it right. But my server got it right, so maybe they know what they're doing here at Otto's Restaurant at The Osthoff Resort.

Stopped in for lunch. Despite being very short staffed they did a great job and were quite attentive. Luckily they were not busy while we were they too. Gavin, our server, had just been promoted to server when none of the servers showed up. He did a great job too! I was able to enjoy a very nice lunch with several of my dearest friends. Everyone enjoyed their food and beverages. Gavin ensured we had everything we needed and checked on us multiple times.

We arrived at 11am for Sunday Brunch, knowing we were on the later side; I asked the waitress if they would be replenishing the food. The waitress confirmed. We initially went up and they were out of scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, bread, yogurt parfaits, and there were 4 biscuits, and 5 Sausage patties. 40 minutes later, only the scrambled eggs (which were disgusting) were replenished, so I asked again and also asked for drinks (because she has not asked, even tho there were 2 servers and only 9 tables). The waitress said she already knew and they were taking care of it, 5 minutes later someone from the kitchen came out to check what they were out. So for $17.95 a person, the three of us barely got a plate full of sub par to terrible good and a waitress that was less than helpful. We would NOT recommend wasting your time or money on this brunch.

Service is horrible. Half the food was gone and they didn't even mention it was buffet style until I asked. Nobody came over to help us or ask for a drink order. Horrible waste of money

Popular restaurant at the Osthoff resort with limited outdoor seating. We arrived for a late breakfast and secured the last outside table. Tables are socially distanced due to COVID 19 restrictions. The staff was friendly and efficient. We ordered the avocado BLT and breakfast burrito. Both were served with a small bowl of fruit - red grapes and a strawberry. The BLT consisted of an English muffin with smashed avocado topped with lettuce, tomato and crisp bacon. Both muffin halves were served open face. It was excellent. The burrito was served with a generous amount of sour cream and a small amount of pico de Gallo. The burrito was large filled with taco meat, egg and cheese. Aaa

This resort is the place to be! If you are ever in the Lake Elkhart are please go, you will not be disappointed. The atmosphere is relaxed. The view is breath taking! The amenities is endless. Go. Thanks the family, where it's kid friendly as well. I've been going for several years and each time, it takes my breathe away.

It's casual dining for lunch. Food was inexpensive and kitchen was quick to dish out. Service was good and it's a good option for a quick meal.

Shame on Otto's.Food is fair. What you expect for a casual hotel spot. Think pizza, chicken fingers, frozen burgers.. hardly fine dining. It is overpriced and mediocre. Sadly, my last experience was disappointing. We had made a reservation earlier in the week for a party of 12 people. I booked 6 through OpenTable and expanded directly w the restaurant. I had to provide a credit card to book. Yesterday, my Uncle passed away. Unexpectedly. We have been focused on him and the hospital, ER, family and then today a funeral home and the begining of paperwork. Earlier in the day I tried to cancel the reservation on OpenTable - was instructed to call to cancel. I called a bit later and just indicated I needed to cancel. Did not intend to linger. 30 minutes later I received a text notification that I had a $120 charge on my credit card from Otto's. I called and the restaurant, and the staff told me they were instructed to enforce their cancellation policy. I was told to call the manager Brittnay on her cell phone to dispute. When I called I was upset - it's a lot of money and Brittnay didn't have empathy for are troublesome circumstance. Brittnay told me she was indeed the person who could reverse the charge, but went on to share with me an elementary overview of why Otto's had a policy -- and the rules of the cancellation policy. She then shared with me that 2.5 hours was difficult for her restaurant attached to the hotel. Under typical circumstances, we probably just would have gone to this mediocre spot to avoid this fee. But, today we just can't. Brittnay also asked me if I could share with her the obituary. In any case - I've since disputed with my Credit card. I canceled this reservation in advance for, this hotel spot that is serving chicken fingers, pizza, frozen burgers, overcooked noodles and Iceberg lettuce..Perhaps they brought in one additional server and bus boy for our party. I suspect they could send any persons home early if needed. And perhaps charged me $30 if they needed to?Last, my Uncle was a wonderful man. He helped in some ways to fill my Father's shoes when my own Dad died of a heart attack unexpectedly - he helped me and my 3 younger brothers when we were little. Sad days.

Food is good but service is abhorrent two years running at Christmas market season. If there is not enough people to staff it, you're better off closing it. People were leaving without even eating. We stood at the hostess stand for a really long time with a line of people behind us. Nobody came up to seat us. Probably because all the open tables lay uncleared. Maybe leave the automatic front door unmanned and put that person at Otto's to help.

Food was hot and first quality. Doors open a few minutes before 7. (Yeah!) Olivia did a great job anticipating what we needed. Prices were surprisingly reasons for a touristy resort area.
