The food is fantastic, but it's more than a meal at Gary Danko. The people you interact with show kindness and consideration, and depth of knowledge. They send you home with yummy treats. The experience lingers, and it's worth it.

Otto's Kitchen is immediately adjacent to the lobby in the Kissel Hotel, though this was not in any way an issue for us. Tables were spaced for privacy and the noise level was quiet on this not-busy early evening. We loved the food! Pork shank highly recommended! The chocolate cake dessert is exceptional - and a huge serving. Wait staff were excellent: attentive and friendly. All-in-all an A+ experience.
