Otis Restaurant 4 Front Street, Exeter, NH 03833

"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!"

"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"

"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."

"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!"
