Located at The Manner Hotel, The Otter has become one of my FAVORITE restaurants in the city and is a must-visit especially if you’re in the soho area. If you like seafood, this is your place. The oysters were so fresh – we were instantly impressed. Little did we know the halibut would blow us away! It was cooked to perfection and the the mint was such a nice touch. This was a girl dinner so ofc we HAD to get the seasoned fries, of course, which did not disappoint. But what we really need to talk about is the desserts because oh my you need to try every single one of them: the pistachio tiramisu are you kiddddding, and the chocolate ice cream were so good.
It’s the perfect place to get dressed up, down some martinis, and have an incredibly chic night with delicious food. I love the high fashion nature of the crowd and the dimly lit sexy ambience. Me & my girls are definitely coming back!

If you love seafood—especially raw oysters—The Otter in SoHo is an absolute must. Their happy hour is one of the best – oysters at just $2 each, and what really impressed me was that nothing about the experience felt “happy hour quality.”
A huge part of what made our visit stand out was Hugo. His attention to detail is incredible, and he strikes the perfect balance of being warm, fun, and genuinely helpful without ever being pushy. His recommendations were spot-on and elevated the entire meal.
Every dish we tried was excellent, but the biggest surprise was the rice pudding. I’m not a rice pudding person at all, and this was amazing—creamy, flavorful, and the perfect finish to the meal. Highly recommend.

we went for a birthday brunch. the outside patio are was perfect for a group of 20. we basically got all the apps to share and i got the crab omelette which was phenomenal. the service wasn’t amazing but overall good experience.

First of all thank to their hospitality that we brought us champagne since we’ve been celebrating our anniversary, They started with brioche and 3 different butters which was so delicious! Oysters were so fresh and the main course halibut had such a clean taste and great broth. Clams were so good too. All lovely and the atmosphere is great. They are so friendly too. We ordered ice cream for desert which was extremely sweet that the sweetness sticks in your throat! The whip cream and grapes were not good too, so I’m guessing probably they don’t have pastry chef so eat any food and they are great, save the dessert for later!

The atmosphere here is, I think, the point. It’s incredibly sexy and quite unique-nautical with a 50s feel. Think lacquered navy walls, white wood-paneled ceilings, curved banquettes, wicker bar stools, marble accents, and a striking, Gauguin-ish mural wrapping around the back corners.
The food is very good, although certainly nothing out of this world: inventive but reliably good dishes. And they source perfectly crisp lettuce (which is frustratingly rare).
Despite the Otter’s tremendous charm it’s a bit empty! I suppose that’s one of the perils of being a hotel restaurant.

We heard a lot of great things about this restaurant. I love the ambiance and the service was great. However, even though it was restaurant week, food was very disappointing. What we did enjoy was a great salad. The fish and chips were marginal along with the linguine with mushrooms. The dessert however was oversized and delicious. We had lemon rice pudding and pear sorbet. Laura of Raleigh

The Otter: right in the front yard of The Manner Hotel like a little secret garden—is one of those rare outdoor dining experiences that nails it without trying too hard. On a warm summer evening, the setting is magic: string lights, cozy seating, and a kind of quiet charm that makes you forget you’re in the middle of Manhattan. It has that Euro café vibe without the jet lag.
The menu itself is surprisingly simple—no gimmicks, no twelve-word descriptions—but every single thing we ordered was on point. Perfectly crisp fries, a standout burger with a buttery brioche bun, and a grilled peach salad that hit that sweet-savory balance just right. It’s not the kind of place you go to be dazzled by molecular foam; it’s where you go to actually enjoy your meal and your company.
The service was warm, present, and not remotely pushy. They let you linger, which I appreciate—especially when the evening air is just right. Add in the fact that you can drift right back up to your chic little room at The Manner after dinner, and it’s a full-circle win.
In a city where “outdoor dining” often means a plywood box on the street, The Otter is a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively. Five stars.

Loved the art deco style of this restaurant! It is spacious and could be good for a bigger group too. We tried the halibut and the lobster roll and got a few apps and a side of green beans. I really liked the side of green beans and the lobster roll! I was worried that it may not be filling, but it was. We had the rice pudding dessert and that was just okay, but they had other options too

I was staying at The Manner Soho and had dinner at The Otter several times. Each night was exceptional. The martinis were perfectly mixed, the fideo clams were a standout, and the NY strip served on a hot plate was simply unforgettable. Warm, elegant atmosphere and top-notch service. I’ll definitely come back.

We had a great brunch here- got a deal on Pulsd but will go back for sure. The lump crab salad was perfectly composed and refreshing on a hot day. The scrambled eggs with roe was decadent and delicious. And the patio was a lovely place to sit, surprisingly quiet and comfortable considering it was August.
