About The Basement at Opal's Table

The Basement at Opal's Table is a restaurant that has received mixed reviews. While some customers have praised the food as the best in the city, others have been disappointed with the drinks and service.

The restaurant is described as having a cool vibe, with a downstairs bar that offers a great selection of whiskey, bourbon, and scotch. The food is said to be amazing and worth the higher prices, but some customers have felt that the service and drink quality do not match the premium prices.

One customer was surprised to learn that their previous drinks were twice as expensive as they had thought, as the bartender informed them that the restaurant's policy is to serve double pours. However, when they ordered a whiskey neat, the pour was described as "skimpy," and they were told that the restaurant's standard pour is 1.25 oz, making a double 2.5 oz, which is about 0.5 oz less than a true double.

Another customer had a similar experience, ordering a Brut upstairs and trying to continue drinking it downstairs, only to be told that the restaurant was almost out of that particular Brut and would be serving a different, sweeter bubbly instead. The customer later discovered that the bartender had actually served them prosecco, not the Brut they had ordered.

Overall, the reviews suggest that The Basement at Opal's Table has the potential to be a high-end, fabulous bar, but the service and attention to detail in the bar area need improvement to match the premium prices and the quality of the food.
