Food was fantastic! Service was impeccable. Liked the ambiance but we were seated right next to the bar downstairs in the basement and it made it impossible to hear my girlfriends while we were having our yearly catch up. This is not the place to go if you want a light, quieter atmosphere. It feels very trendy, loud, and dark. This place is perfect if this is the ambiance you want.
I wanted to book a room at Opal's Table for my birthday. There are 11 of us and we totally expected to spend between $1200 and $1500. My wife calls to make a reservation and was told that we needed to put down a $500 deposit and spend a minimum of $2000. What???? Do you have a Michelin Star chef cooking for you? That is just outrageous. There is not a restaurant in West Texas that is worth that. We have never ate at Opal's Table and was really excited about trying it, but not now. I guess your restaurant is too expensive for us. Thanks for letting us know before we tried to come in there and give you some business. Keep that in mind when you are closing down in a couple of years, how many customers you ran off and all of the money you lost because of it. I guarantee we won't ever eat there now.

We celebrated our 15th anniversary dinner here, and Opals was awesome (as usual). Great wines, fine dining atmosphere, sprouts appetizer and steak was on point. Our server Sam was the coolest, never left us hanging and got us dessert to celebrate the milestone!

We had a couples night with some other couples and decided to come here. It was our first time here and it was a good experience. The food was good, our waiter "Julio" was awesome and attentive. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. We will definitely be back again now that I know this spot is here. :)
Having lived in Midland from 2010-2014, where there wasn’t much to offer. My daughter worked an internship and took me to Opal’s Table her last night. It’s great to see Midland thriving with new restaurants and bars. The atmosphere was modern with a touch of industrial. We downstairs at the bar. At first service was acceptable but then took a turn for the worst :( Food was great! Filled with great flavor and came out fast. Service continued to decline. When spending over $200 at a restaurant I expect to receive remarkable service. That's not the case at Opal's. Our bartender was never around and had to be flagged down for another drink. The most disappointing part is there were two other girls working behind the bar who lacked team work. We ask one of the other girls for a drink. She looked at us and walked away. If only these bartenders knew that they would make more money working as a team. Had we received good service, our bill would have been much higher ?. Overall, great restaurant and great location. Maybe service will improve overtime.
I’ll always tip appropriately to service.

Waited a bit to get the hostesses to seat us for our reservation. Our waitress was fantastic and had great recommendations. Atmosphere is urban chic and cute. Ribeye had an amazing salty crust and was flavorful. Perfectly cooked and charred. Lobster add on was pretty small but tasty. The mashed potatoes did taste a little like instant mashed potatoes to me. But the juices from the steak covered that taste a lot. Beignets dessert was amazing. Mock-tail drinks were so refreshing and very aesthetic.

Food was way too salty, basement vibe was way off, too much light and terrible tables and seating right behind the people sitting at the bar, one bar guest had his butt crack out facing everyone’s table, way overrated place

The food is mediocre, very bland in taste, and overpriced. Expect to pay ridiculous prices. The atmosphere is quite chill. Wasn’t impressed, there are other restaurants in town to eat at for the same price with better tasting food, drinks and atmosphere.
Great downtown restaurant, we had the wedge salad, chicken fried streak and scallops and it was great.

My husband made reservations for 7pm on Tuesday for our anniversary. We arrived at 6:55pm and were seated by 7:05pm. From that point on, nobody ever even acknowledged we were there. After 30 minutes, my husband told the front hostess. She apologized, gave us water, and said she told the waitress. Still, nothing. After another 15 minutes, we decided to leave. We told the hostess on the way out and she quickly said sorry again and went back to her duties. We went down the street and were served promptly.

Out of mashed potatoes at 8:30pm. Extremely loud environment. This is not a good place to carry on a conversation at your table.

The service was meh, but I'll give the a pass since it was Friday night...however. $20 for a Manhattan is insane. This is Midland not a major city. Then your portions are tiny for the price, and you were sold out of desserts on a Friday night the server said you only prepped 2? I don't know what kind of joke this is but I was abysmally ripped off. Adding a 3% fee for credit card transactions is just adding insult to injury. At the end of the day I spent over $100 for 1 person and left hungry.
