Otis Restaurant

We had a fantastic dinner. An extra bonus was watching the chefs cook, they were like an orchestra so coordinated. The sitting had 26 diners. The menu changes every week. We had bean soup, a choice of smoked salmon salad w potato or polenta with pork ragu, chicken with spinach or cod with carrots, beef with potato and red cabbage or pork and lentils, toffee pudding or funnel cake ( fried dough). Everything was delicious, there was not a single dish that we did not love. Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back!

Absolutely fantastic. It's a five course menu with two choices per course. I had the white bean soup, the polenta with regular, chicken, beef and the sticky toffee pudding. Loved everything.

Dined at Otis. In Exeter for the first time. Shared the tasting menu with 2 selections per course with my husband so we got to try one of everything (menu in photos). Everything was fresh, seasonal, local and delicious. Sat at the chef’s table so we got to see each dish as it was prepared. The food was innovative and delicious. The service was impeccable. Definitely must try if you are in the area.

When people talk about a perfect dining experience, they're describing what it's like to eat at Otis. A new five-course tasting menu every week, thought up by the genius Lee Frank, created from fresh local ingredients. With regularly rotating drinks all of which are served by a friendly and helpful wait staff. Otis will ruin every other restaurant for you

What a magnificent evening we had at Otis Restaurant. With a delicious 5-course tasting menu, each dish was a masterpiece. All the dishes were amazing but words cannot describe the impeccably cooked salmon.
The entire evening was an extraordinary celebration of locally sourced ingredients, expertly crafted flavors, and impeccable presentation. Every course was a testament to the culinary artistry of the talented chefs at Otis. 🤍🌿

Absolutely phenomenal, both Chef Lee & Jonathan are super talented. The atmosphere is very welcoming & friendly, 10/10 Will be coming back!

A hidden gem of Exeter! Never thought I'd find a tasting menu here and yet, Otis blew me away. The tasting menu changes weekly, and you get two options for each of the five courses. Each course was incredibly plated and beyond delicious! I tried things I wasn't sure I'd like, but ended up loving them. My favorites were the trout on pumpernickel and the sweet potato pasta. The steak was also incredible, cooked to perfection and oh so juicy. It was a blast sitting up at the bar, seeing things being prepared in front of you. The pacing of the courses was perfect, we had enough time to savor each one and chat between them for a nice long date night. I loved the entire experience, and the price was so worth it. I can't wait to come back to something totally new!

An delicious and amazing meal! We sat at the chef's table and ordered the tasting menu. I feel that the pictures speak for you themselves; parsnip soup, beet and feta salad, seared scallops, and more!
Excellent service. I can highly recommend Otis.

So far this is my favorite restaurant in New Hampshire. It is perfect for a date or a special occasion. You need to do reservations as the spaces are limited. I decided to put pictures because words will not be enough. Just visit this place!

Really great deal for a 5-course yummy dinner. Portions were just the right size, 2 options to choose from for each of the courses but all were well-prepared and delicious. One of the desserts, a sticky pudding with bourbon, was fantastic and a bit intoxicating! Good service but not a lot of tables so be sure to make a reservation.

Spectacular dinner with creative, delicious dishes. Great service in a comfortable, intimate atmosphere.

The menu changes weekly, and they have an ample beverage menu with alcoholic and nonalcoholic options.

Food portion was large and every bite was delicious. It was very hot sitting at the counter so I think if you run hot, sit at the tables.

The prix fixe tasting menu was amazing! We had 1+1 and shared... The shaved Brussel sprout salad, the scallop, and the squash soup were especially good. The pork and beef were amazingly prepared and the portions were generous. Cocktails were top-notch.

I have been going here since Chief Lee opened. He has a great rotation on the menu which is always fresh and new. The utilization of local products keeps me comming back every month.

Chose for our anniversary dinner because it was close to our accommodations but now that we've had a meal there we'd drive quite a distance to eat there again. Five course tasting menu - nice choices and most were Gluten Free! Casual, happy, yet classy place. Two seatings 5:30 and 7:30 - this is a small place so reservations are a must.

Incredibly honored to be seated at the counter of James Beard Best Chef semifinalist Chef Lee Frank tonight! It was a most inspiring experience watching each unique and delicious course be created right in front of us, and then getting to enjoy every tasty bite while conversing with him and his delightful sous chef, Jonathan. THANK YOU for a lovely evening, and we wish you continued success and all the best in your culinary journey!

Food was incredibly balanced and delicious. The bartender was very friendly and makes incredible drinks. Will be returning!

My wife and I had the 5 course tasting menu. Was an absolutely fantastic meal, and experience

My new favourite restaurant in New Hampshire.

Amazing service. Everyone working there is friendly and passionate

Dinner for 4 which consisted of my older Aunt and my 8 year old son. Sat at Chefs table. Food was unbelievable. Every single offering including the cocktails were delicious. Chef (Lee) and Sous Chef (Johnathan) went out of their way to customize a dinner for my 8 year old son. Pricey but you get what you pay for. Food cooked to perfection. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.
