Second time at Opto. This time, my wife and I were blown away. All the apps were phenomenal. Our favorite was the lebnah dip which was so flavorful. The charred octopus was good but was slightly overcooked and dry, possibly from the brine or lack there of. We decided to split the filet, and I was very impressed. Snake River Farms so we knew the quality was there but It was truly cooked to perfection. It had a good amount of what I think were micro-scallions/green onions Garnished...read full review
Phenomenal experience having dinner at opto. The vibes are immaculate: buzzy, dimly lit, inviting and modern. Perfect for date night, groups, or a celebration. Felt very taken care of. The chocolate mousse was delicious and rich and pastas were excellent
Top tier nyc dining. Unforgettable food, dedicated staff, and upscale yet vibey atmosphere. Just perfect. I recommend the Whipped Spicy Feta, it’s fresh and unique, and comes with a warm seeded bread. But you just get the Gem Lettuce Salad. I’m still dreaming about that dressing. The lemon pasta feels like a staple here and it was quite tasty. Lastly, you have to get the Lemon Torte Caprese AND the Dark Chocolate Mousse. Holyyyyyyyy

OPTO is a new Mediterranean restaurant with an innovative menu and great food. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of upscale but homely, with a good overall vibe and comfortable seating. It is a perfect place for a date night, a group dinner, or even a solo visit.
The fresh produce in all the dishes is elite. Portions are generous. The sunchoke appetizer, possibly with feta and cara cara oranges, is a favorite and spectacular. The octopus is bomb, as good as any octopus dish ever had. Other standout starters include the Jerusalem bagel with labneh, the gem lettuce salad, and the bright yellowtail tartar.
For main dishes, the pastas are a highlight. The lemon pasta and the lobster pasta are particularly bomb and creamy. The pesto pasta is creamy but not heavy, and the ribeye is perfectly cooked and flavored. The Burger and Fries are also awesome.
Desserts are irresistible and a must. The dark chocolate mousse is out of this world, and the lemon torte or lemon cake is spectacular. Service is absolutely fantastic, attentive, friendly, welcoming, informative, and a delight. The staff is super nice. OPTO is awesome, spectacular, and highly recommended.
