The menu is inviting with plenty of offerings. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. Drinks are delicious. Our server was George (glasses). He could not have been more professional and accommodating. I would only say, if you're looking for a quiet dinner----OPA may not be your best choice, but I'll always go back. FABULOUS !

The service was professional but warmly greeted and not rushed throughout our meal. The OPA chips are to die for!!! My mousaka was exceptional but too much for one serving so I brought home for another meal. The baklava was scrumptious. Try eating mid afternoon...for dunch or linner.

The Grill Octopus and the Branzino were very good. The Baklava desert was excellent as were all the dishes. The service was very prompt even with the place full. All employees were very friendly and helpful.

This last visit was the worst that I have ever experienced since coming here. Opa chips were salty to the point of being inedible. Cocktails (old fashions) we're overly sweet like they were trying to minimize the amount of bourbon they put in the glass. Gyro plate has been my go-to entree since I've been coming here. This time the gyro was absolutely tasteless. No sense of garlic, no sense of flavor. Over the years portion sizes have gotten progressively smaller but yet prices have increased creating a very little sense of value. Noise level was to the point where you could not even hear your partner's conversation and you had to talk loud to be heard. Overall, a very very disappointing experience.
