“ Came for the charcuterie and it did not disappoint. I also ordered the duck and creme brulee. Everything was extremely flavorful, Opal is a hidden gem. Wish there were more nonalcoholic mocktails on the menu, but the two were nice. ”
“ First time at Opal. Will definitely be back! Our table ordered the muscles in the garlic broth, the meatballs, and the mozzarella. Everything, including the bread that was fresh out of the oven, was fantastic! Then our steak and pasta arrived and outperformed the appetizers! (The steak in the picture is a split entree.). Even the apples in the white Sangria were fresh and flavorful! Our waitress said she’d been there 12 years. That in itself says a lot. ”
“ Everything was awesome. Service was perfect. I had the gnocchi with shrimp and hubby had the charcuterie everything Was soooo good ”
“ Was very impressed with Opal! Charcuterie board was excellent and is a something they do very well. Steaks that were order were delicious (they were both cooked a little less than they should have been as ordered). Overall, a great experience. Will be back again for sure! ”
“ Dear Opal Management, This past visit was our first time dining at your establishment, and we wanted to share our wonderful experience. We began our meal with the oysters on the half shell and the charcuterie board, both of which were incredibly delicious. Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed their entrees, finding everything to be cooked to absolute perfection. Additionally, our waitress, who mentioned she was from Romania, provided a level of delightful service that is truly rare these days. We will certainly be returning to Opal soon to explore more of your delicious menu! Sincerely, Chuck ”
“ It was my first time at Opal. It was my cousin's birthday and that is where she wanted to go. They frequent there. I don't remember server's name, but he was awesome. The charcuterie was server's choice and he did mot disappoint. I had cavetelli and veal meatballs - yummy. The lemon creme brulle was so light and also excellent. I will go back with my husband next time. ”
