All the special events!

My family always have all our special events at Othellos. It’s where we had a rehearsal dinner. The food was delicious. The service is amazing. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

Bridal Luncheon

I recently hosted a bridal luncheon for a sweet family friend, and I cannot say enough good things about the food! Everything was absolutely delicious and turned out perfectly! And let me just say, the homemade maple bacon was AMAZING! I’m still thinking about it! 😂 You can tell they put so much love into what they do, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend!

Othellos is the BEST!

Othello’s catered my cousin’s bridal luncheon, and everything was absolutely amazing! Everyone could not stop talking about how delicious the food was. Chef Andy truly goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect, and Jen makes the entire process so easy. She is such a joy to work with!

Planning bridal showers, weddings, receptions, and other special events can be stressful, but Othello’s takes so much off your plate. Not only is the food incredible, but their service is consistently outstanding. They truly care about making your event special, and it shows!

I will always choose Othello’s for my catering needs. I cannot recommend them enough!

Wedding Venue

I chose Othello’s restaurant for my wedding for a few reasons. I was able to decorate with my own decorations. The fire pit was a very nice feature. Our wedding was at the end of October so it was chilly at night. It has a beautiful outdoor patio. The food is amazing. The restaurant is well known and easy to get to. The price was very reasonable. The staff is amazing and everyone made sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Othello’s for a wedding or any other event you want to plan.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
