Opal is a stylish restaurant with a lively atmosphere, making it suitable for many occasions. During Sunday brunch, guests can enjoy fresh and delicious cronuts and an unusual gravlax mezze plate. The menu for dinner features dishes like Maine Lobster Ravioli, Clams with Saffron Spaghetti, Dry Aged Roseda Beef Striploin, and Mushroom Risotto. Their Key Lime Pie and cocktails are highly praised, especially the mezcal cucumber cocktail, which is a top seller. The restaurant has a cozy yet modern decor, with an open kitchen and an outdoor patio perfect for enjoying meals in good weather. On Sundays, diners can choose between patio and indoor seating and taste four different skewers with various sauces and toppings. The service has been noted as attentive and first rate, with staff ensuring a great experience. Recent reviews also mention that the food is good overall, with some dishes like the Pan Seared Rockfish Filet, Pumpkin Pie, and Pecan Pie receiving excellent feedback. Parking can be a challenge, and the music can be quite loud at times, but the lively environment compensates for these minor issues. Opal has hosted successful team dinners with excellent food and service, making it a popular spot in DC.
