First, check out my Ride & Review video HERE:

Oti is a small Romanian restaurant with a great outdoor space on Clinton Street in the lower east side. My wife and I popped in here for a quick meal. The menu consists of mainly small plates and wine. Here’s what we had:

Farmers Board

This is a nice charcuterie style board with meats, cheeses and dips. At $25 this wasn’t too bad. Great bread too.

Broken Burrata

Pretty self explanatory. This was really delicious.

Bone Marrow Toast

I didn’t get much bone marrow flavor on this, but there was something pickled and sweet on top that threw my taste buds for a loop. This was tasty and had melted cheese on it. It was good despite not following through on the marrow aspect.

Stuffed Pepper

This was probably the best (and biggest) dish we tried. Inside was a nice mixture of spiced meats, rice and cheese. I would definitely get this again. Save some bread to drag through that delicious sauce too.

Meesh

These meatball / kebab style thingies were really nice. That sauce on top was a mustard of sorts. I would definitely get this one again too.

Pickled Grapes

Our waitress suggested these over the pickled Jimmy Nardello peppers to cut the fat and compliment the Meesh. They were SUPER sour. Eating them together with the Meesh was the best way to have them. In hindsight, I wish we had gone with the peppers instead.
