Otoño

A great Highland Park spot with a solid menu and excellent customer service. We ordered their charcuterie board and it was pretty good. My friends weren’t into liver but was surprised how this one was. Their potato balls were great & their octopus was probably the best entree. It was tender and very flavorful with a descent portion to feed three. The potato churros was the greatest potato dish I’ve ever had and it caught us all off guard because I thought it was going to be a sweet dish. It ended up being a really crispy with a soft center fry with solid ketchup and aioli. It’s definitely a must have at this spot. The seafood paella was also pretty good with a good amount of seafood. Overall it was a pleasant dining experience. Just a heads up they don’t have any of the popular soft drinks, so “Jack & Coke” or any mixed drinks like that aren’t available. They definitely make the most out of their space. Can feel a little cramped with tables real close together, but it works. I’d definitely come back here again and try their other menu items.

Otoño is great, the food is delicious spanish food sometimes traditional sometimes creative but always delicious. The cocktails are amazing, original and inventive. First came here over a year ago and I keep coming back, it does not disappoint.

Excellent Spanish tapas. We’ve been coming here for years. What’s dramatically improved is that they now have Tad Tobey who is a world-class mixologist creating incredible cocktails that he changes with the seasons. There are certainly more famous cocktail bars in Los Angeles but I would challenge you to find one that makes better drinks Not an inexpensive evening if you have a big dinner and a few drinks but certainly well worth the $. Parking can be challenging on weekends (basically no parking on the street in front of the restaurant) and there are some pay lots behind the building. Heading back there again for more of Tad’s amazing cocktails and tapas as we speak. Cheers! DocMikeChiro

We love coming here, not just for the food but also for the great staff and atmosphere.

I adore this place. Been here three times with my husband. We love the mariscos paella and the seasonal cocktails, but everything is top notch. The seasonal menu is constantly changing but always very creative and tasty, and the waitstaff is very caring and attentive. perfect for a date. We will be back.

Apparently the best thing here is the tasting menu. But you must not have an odd number of people in your party, or two people. Waiter told us that the tasting menu can only be ordered by parties of two or more groups of two. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, ... are unacceptable. Insane and unjustifiable (and likely wrong) policy especially considering we wanted just one tasting menu "for two" plus some additional items. Food was alright. Tomato toast was delicious but how could it not be? Octopus was cooked the right way but accompanied by three worthless forgettable potatoes. Sauce was tasty but there was hardly any -- thus one great bite of octopus and then a few so-so ones. Paella was pretty good but the bottom layer crossed over from crispy to acrid and charcoaly. Rather laughably, the seafood in the paella was arranged in three-fold symmetry. Dessert was fine -- cream with nutmeg and pomegranate seeds. Inoffensive. Save yourself the time and money and put a piece of bread and tomato sauce in your toaster oven. That way you won't have to hear the Kafkaesque explanations as to why you can't order what they advertise. Surely something very bad would happen if a party of three ordered a tasting menu for two but my smooth brain just can't quite figure it out.

A top tier Spanish restaurant. Great gin selection. Good sherry. Wonderful paella. Don't leave without trying the croquettas. Can't wait to go back. Service was awesome.
