Opal on Pearl

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 !

The service at the bar was excellent. The food was also very good. We had such a great time there.

Stopped here on a whim. Nice ambiance. The menu was limited but everything looked good. We had apps and salads and both very good. The dates were very good.

This is a great place for a date or to chill with your friends. Staff is friendly and helpful. Wine is tasty with healthy pours. They've got some dim lighting so you look better to your date especially after a drink or two...Happy hour is from 5p-7p and you can find $5-6 drinks and $3.5-6 dishes. I've only had wine $10 and the charcuterie board $22, but I'd like to try out some of their other food options. Convenient parking lot in the back. Only minor complaint is that it smells like fried grease inside, but your nose gets used to it and the smell fades.

It's a little drive for me, but worth the time. I met a dear friend there and to my surprise...I had already experienced this place back when it was called "Drink"! Now THAT was a nice surprise. So the ownership has changed and of course, everything else but no worries. I enjoyed the ambiance, decor and food even more.We always split a couple items so we ordered the Calamari and I am a tough judge on Calamari. If it is too greasy, too crunchy, too saucy, too firm or too unappealing to touch... I will tell you!Their Calamari was cooked to perfection! A dusting of crunch and tender rings inside, perched atop a light and delicate sauce served with pickled onions and cucs...need I say more. I love pickled anything but these were ideal.We also shared the Arancini Balls and not only were they humongous, but the cheesy goodness inside was just enough and the marinara was nicely seasoned and they were served Hot! In my world, hot food must be served hot or it's going back. Touche guys!

Nicely decorated and locally owned. Tony has a lot of experience in the business and is one of my favorite bartenders. The focus here is on great cocktails, a nice wine list, and lots of small plates for sharing with friends. He also has an assortment of salads and so you could just stay here for the night and make a meal out of it--which is what we did. What would I recommend? The specials were Asian spicy wings, and a caprese salad made with Burrata cheese--both were excellent. His house fries were wonderful too. Tony told me he plans on changing up things all the time, so stop in, I'm sure there will be something delicious to try!

I wanted to check this place out because the charcuterie looked wonderful but I was kind of disappointed. It was $27 and most of the crackers/almonds were completely stale and chewy. Since there was no bread or pita or anything it really made the meats/cheeses much worse when eaten together. You also didn't get very much of the meats(between 2-5 pieces of 3 different meats that were thin/small deli cuts). Also tried the Calamari and that was great.

The wine bar. It's a great place to go for a cozy girls night out, date night or just a casual night. When you enter it's very intimate, the lights are dimmed and there are couches around in sectioned off rooms or there are seats around the big bar in the center of the room. They have a wide selection of snacks and wines and a small beer and hard liquior option for those who aren't a huge fan of wine. All of their food is bought fresh from the farmers market which is amazing! I really enjoy their moscato which is a brand I'm very familiar with. Food wise, I really enjoyed their bruschetta, the flatbred, the meatballs, their spinach and artichoke dip and the seafood bowl with abit of broth. Everything is super delicious and shareable as well. I wish I could try the cheese/fruit board but I'm lactose :( The bartenders are both very helpful in making great recommendations based on what mood you're in and how hungry you're feeling. It's awesome! I really look forward to coming back with more friends or just on my own! They do book for private parties as well!

Good food! Good drinks! Good views! Good atmosphere! We ordered a fee sharable items most were spicy, but I like spice, so I was happy! I will be back! Been tonthis hidden gem a fee times! Thank.you!

Worth the drive where ever you are. Cute, quaint place with great service and amazing food. Definitely get the Key Lime Cheese Cake for dessert !
