Wow! It's been awhile since I've been impressed. The service is good but could be faster. I had prawns with a coconut sauce that... is above the rest. Wife and mother in law had the seared ahi and that was amazing. Brother in law had a salad pizza (he went bigat a fancy restraunt) that I really could not beleive how good it was. Nephew got the ribeye and that was very good. This is aplace that everybody should try. I'll be back later with an edit since my other nephew is still tasting food. Oh by the waysister in law Lisa said tacos were a little mayonnaisey. Read more
As always, Richard and his fine staff made our anniversary dinner memorable. Their coconut shrimp are uniquely prepared and... delicious. The Perfect 10 martini with gorganzola stuffed olives was a great mix with perfectly prepared steaks. Just the rightamount of attention kept our table cleared and waters refilled. Great job!

Fantastic!! I can't rave about this place enough. The service was excellent, our server was very knowledgeable, personable and... charming. Our food came in a timely manner despite there being a dinner rush and the quality of our dishes was off the chartsphenomenal. If we didn't live 6 hours away this would become one of our favorite spots to visit monthly. Be mindful this is abit of a pricey spot to dine at, but the quality is well worth it. Hats off the the amazing chefs and staff!! Read more
We enjoyed an outstanding dinner with an equally outstanding waiter (Eric). He nicely managed our group on a very busy night. ... He was kind and professional. Read more
Opal has a really nice selection of menu items. I love the attention to detail of the outdoor seating on State Street. You'll... especially like Opal's mushroom-based dishes, if that's your thing. If you're looking for a relaxed pace, nice dining experiencethat's not overdressed, this is your spot Read more
