What People Are Saying About Opal Restaurant & Lounge

In Short – Warm-colored walls, curtains and pillars invoke comfort and conversation throughout the tiered dining rooms. A sushi bar rests against the far wall on the lowest floor. Curtains made of steel beads veil the Orchid Lounge, filled with comfortable couches. New American cuisine with Asian flair offers intriguing combinations. Appetizers include calamari and mussels steeped in fresh basil. One well-known entree is the Kobe beef, smothered in balsamic soy sauce and served with grilled trumpet mushrooms and scallion potatoes.

Astonished, in a bad way
by cam_marie
My girlfriends and I went in for dinner after looking up the menu online. Come to find out, their actual menu was not the same as the online menu, had far less choices. We were planning on using a $25 coupon, in fact it was the only reason we went. We were told we could not use it . When I asked to speak to a manager the waiter told me that he was not around, when I pressed him, he said "Let me see if I could find him". Eventually someone who looked like a cook came out who could barely speak English. When i told him the issue he literally WALKED AWAY and never came back! We waited 30 minutes and got so fed up, we paid the bill and walked out. Will never go there again.
- Pros: none
- Cons: customer service

Horrible. I mean horrible service July 30 09
by dvrpostuser
Just went to Opal for the 2nd time on July 29th 09. Ordered 2 drinks that took 20 mins to arrive. Ordered some sushi and oysters. 1 order of Sushi came out before our drinks...after waiting 50 mins, we cancelled our order and left...with a 47 cent tip!
Who owns this place? Do they read these reviews? If you go, go at 4 when nobody is there and I imagine you'll get your food in a reasonable amount of time. I can't believe this place is still in business. Oh, and the bathrooms....disgusting. Do they ever clean them? The city needs to insect this place.
- Pros: 1 dollar Corona, 1 dollar oysters
- Cons: Cheap price if you don't mind waiting 30 mins for a drink

bad food, worse service, repulsive bathroom
by chelseystillman
The wait staff took over an hour to get 3 hand rolls of sushi, messed up our bill, took 45 minutes to give us our bill and did not apologize or offer to comp one thing for us. They were horribly understaffed and the waitress brough us the wrong food, forgot our drinks then messed up our bill. Then there's the mayonaise heavy hand rols which were so unappealing we didn't even want to take our left overs home. Avoid this place like the plague, because odds are you will get the plague from the gnarly bathroom
- Pros: cheap but narrow happy hour
- Cons: service, food, bathroom, parking
