My boyfriend is from Greece, so we had to check this place out. The food was delicious. We got the hummus, greens, lemon chicken, and crunchy zucchini. A tie between the chicken and zucchini for the best taste. They also have a belly dancer and throw napkins up in the air. Great food and entertainment. Service was great, but gave 4 stars because our water was empty for a while. We had to snag her to get a refill. You have to pay for parking in the garage, but the walk isn't far. Park on the 3rd floor and take the bridge over.Parking: Park on the 3rd floor of the garage and walk over. It wasn't busy when we went, but I bet it can be.

Los is a great bartender! My wife wasn't sure what she wanted to drink and he whipped up a perfect drink for her.

Mixed Experience at Taverna OpaTaverna Opa offers a lively atmosphere with Greek flair, but falls short in some aspects. The restaurant's vibrant ambiance, complete with traditional music and energetic patrons, creates an atmosphere of celebration. However, the noise level can be overwhelming, making it difficult to hold conversations comfortably.While the menu boasts a variety of Greek specialties, my dining experience was marred by overcooked dishes. Despite high hopes for succulent meat, my selection arrived disappointingly dry and overdone. It was evident that attention to detail in the kitchen was lacking, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the meal.Despite these shortcomings, Taverna Opa still offers a unique dining experience for those seeking a taste of Greece in a lively setting. However, improvements in noise management and culinary execution are necessary to elevate the restaurant to its full potential.

We were on vacation and gave this restaurant a try for dinner, it was delicious!! Our waiter Leonardo was accommodating and exceptional! We appreciated his recommendations and service. Definitely coming here again!!Dietary restrictions: My dinner guest was gluten free so Leonardo made sure to check with the kitchen manager about our order.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of kids were seated around us outside and all seemed well taken care of by the employees.

We were in a bit of a hurry to make a movie so we left the waitress know and she was very accommodating and got our order quickly. The food was very good and the portion sizes were just right. It was a little pricey but about what is expected in a tourist area like this near universal and the conference center.
What a wild place…honestly, the food was very good. The ambiance is fun, but a tad too loud if you ask me. They also trash perfectly good paper everywhere, which I think is a bit odd in 2024. Wine list is good, but a lot of wines were out of order.

Very loud. Service was great, he gave my mom the wrong food and he gave her a free shot of alcohol. She did get the right food after so that was very good.
From the minute we walked in until the end the service has been spectacular! Amazing food and entertainment. Highly

This place has a really cool atmosphere. Great food and great service. It is an extremely loud and crowded environment, so if you want a quiet place to eat... this is not the place, haha. It's definitely a food and entertainment all in one kind of place.
Absolute must date night. Best Greek food we've found in Florida.Parking: Park on level 3 of the parking garage next to Wonderworks. There's a bridge walkway on that level that goes straight to this awesome restaurant.
