This food is out of this world! Also, the most delicious falafel I’ve ever had and I’ve had quite a few!

Went on company luncheon and we enjoyed ourselves. Salad had a couple hairs in it and waiter exchanged no problem. Food was pretty good and service was great for a party of 18 guys.

Food was good, Service was friendly and helpful. For some reason, the salmon and deserts weren't available. I hope that they aren't on hard times.

Came in at 7:30pm on a Saturday night, the restaurant was mostly empty with 2 other tables with guests. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for the last four years and have never seen this place more than 25% filled. We ordered two orders of the steak, and a glass of wine. The attached picture is the joke of a wine pour that was served (in a water glass). Next, our server came back to tell us that they didn’t have the steak. In fact, they were out of beef and lamb completely, among other things. How do you call yourself a Greek restaurant missing those items? Overall terrible experience and I now know why this place sits empty. Surprised they have been able to keep the lights on this long.

Had a reservation for 8 people. Left after 45 minutes of no service. The doors were locked when we arrived because they were so busy they were only seating people with reservations. Given this, they were woefully understaffed: one waitress, two cooks, no one at the bar. Several other tables also left after long waits and no service.

I felt bad for the staff at Opa last night because they were clearly short handed. There were two people in the kitchen and one person as hostess, server, and bartender. They were doing their best but the delays caused several parties to get up and leave. Our food was tasty and we were the first patrons of the night, so got our food in a timely manner.

Had an opportunity to have dinner in Feb. Place was ok. Food was ok and so was atmosphere. IIRC they were locking door that day not sure if normal. We stepped out and it started raining, we wanted to get back in and they didnt. It tells a lot about place and people. Anyways, food worth one try.

They need to hire people if they want to stay in business. 45 minutes to get our appetizers and over an hour to get entrees are not acceptable when the restaurant is only half full. One wait staff and one receptionist and maybe one cook? I tried this place a year ago and no improvement. The sad thing is the restaurant does not seem to care and no apologies for lack of services but still charge a fixed tips.

I was supposed to have a lunch meeting here but apparently you need a reservation for lunch. The website says reservation not required but appreciated - what it doesn’t say is a reservation is mandatory. We got to the hostess’ desk and she was struggling on her little iPad to find a table. Meanwhile, I could find 6 open tables behind her since half the restaurant was empty. She called the manager over and asked him to find a table to which he told us they had no open tables. We mentioned the open tables behind him and we even offered to sit at the bar. He said we needed a reservation. I’ve been to Opa multiple times in the Morgan Hill location and never needed a reservation. No wonder this location is always empty.

The waitress is very unprofessional. She got us the wrong order and missed one dish for the table despite us confirming the whole order again and again. She didn't even apologize for her mistake (maybe language/culture issue). It's very empty on Friday night. I don't think the restaurant (at least this Location) will live for long.

Great location, reasonable prices, solid food. I like the dips, the warm pita is delicious, we had a salad and the meatballs. Also, their cocktails are absolutely delicious! I also really like that they are an open table and you can make a reservation, that is not as common as it should be for this geographic area.

Truly great food, a tad on the spendy side but not overly. My date and I were both surprised with the lack of people for Friday night, I made reservations but clearly didn't need to.The food was really good, the bread pudding was exceptional but I think what would take it over the top would be some sort of sauce.
