Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Otis appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2022. On Mar 6, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Things are looking better: the most recent inspection turned up one violation, compared to three violations previously.

When inspectors have written things up, evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Brooklyn restaurant scores 77. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
