Their Key Lime Pie and cocktails are highly praised, especially the mezcal cucumber cocktail, which is a top seller.

The food is generally good, with dishes like the corn veloute and sweet potato latkes receiving positive remarks, although some items like Chicken and Waffles have been noted as underwhelming. 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 stop in DC, especially for those visiting Chevy Chase.
