I always hear great things about this place, so I decided to check it out! I guess my expectations were a little too high.I emailed the owner about reservations & he confirmed them. I showed up & the bartender had no idea about my reservation. It turned out okay because there was an empty table for us, but it was still kind of annoying.I was expecting a more elegant type of atmosphere, but it was very much a dive bar type of atmosphere. Again, not a big deal, just was a surprise!Being a vegetarian is always a risk coming to a tapas place, but it seemed like there would be enough, luckily I’m not picky! The menu was mislabeled on several of the dietary restriction, so just beware!My partner (not a vegetarian) got wings and enjoyed them. We also got the corn fritters, which I did NOT care for at all (interesting bc I like most food!). The dip trio was very good, but VERY small portions. My minestrone soup was good, but nothing special. The flatbread was good. I liked the cheese on it! The cheesecake was good. I liked the jam around it.The service was extremely slow and our water cups remained empty for most of our experience.Overall, I won’t be back & don’t recommend !

Wonderful evening!Everything was excellent from drinks to dessert. Save room for desserts!Thank you Tony and Ray!We can't wait to return.
A group of 5 ex Metro residents go together to eat here last night. First time for all. In the old Theos which I have some great memories of. Ample parking in the back with an entrance there. Great shareable plates including dates and stuffed peppers(my favorite). Dinners were excellent including my scallops over risotto and cod, steak and sirloin. Going to come back when they have the ossobuco going. Desserts 'ok' but not outstanding - changes weekly though. Staff excellent. One was a sommelier and couple of us left with some wine. Will be back. It wasn't busy but they don't have that many tables even tho the restaurant is a good size. It's dominated by a very large square bar area in the middle of the restaurant that could accomodate about 20 people(guess).

Such a great place, perfect for meeting up with friends for food and libations. Great for conversations...Friendly and attentive staff.Delicious and beautifully prepared foods made with fresh ingredients.The atmosphere is Artsy but not pretentious. Can't say enough good things about Opal and the staff, already looking forward to my next visit!
