Platt Park Restaurants–Ototo Den Returns!
Sliding quietly back into the Platt Park restaurants landscape in September was a familiar name–Ototo Den—back for a third try. First there was the Den Deli, which rather quickly morphed into the first rendition of Ototo Den, which was shuttered in 2012, as performance was not meeting owner Toshi Kizaki's high standards. Does Toshi have it right this time? Time will tell but the early results are encouraging. The restaurant had a soft, invitation-only opening for the first two weeks in September and reservations filled all available tables in less than two hours. Great attention was given during that time to gain feedback from clients on everything from food presentation, taste, quantity, restaurant décor, food service…you get the idea.
