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 right amount of attention kept our table cleared and waters refilled. Great job!

Ate dinner last Tuesday at Opal and was our first time dining there. Our dining experience was exceptional, food was well presented and cooked perfectly, service was top notch, shoutout to our server Sabina for being very friendly, attentitive to us and checking in on us frequently, also shoutout to the manager and hostess for also being friendly to us. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Opal and definitely be back again. :)

Wonderful food, wonderful staff. Richard was so kind and helpful and patient with myself and my mother when trying to schedule my graduation dinner. Everything went with such ease, everyone had a wonderful time, and everyone enjoyed the food! Their steak was amazing. Sabina, our waitress, was exceptional in every way, between remembering everyone's food and drink orders, to being informative about the menu. Thank you Richard, Sabina and all Opal staff! We will for sure be coming back.

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 experience that's not overdressed, this is your spot

Questions & Answers

Any gluten free dishes?

Donna J Liss | Dec 10, 2021
Opal | Dec 10, 2021

Dear Donna Thank you for thinking of us, and yes we have many options: In addition to many gluten-free salads, we don’t add flour to any of our sauces, so most meat and fish dishes are gluten-free. We have recently added Gluten Free corn-based Fusilli pasta to our lineup, so any of our pastas can be made Gluten Free by substituting this pasta. Or instead of pasta, in its place we can offer a delicious mélange of Julienne Vegetables. Finally, except for pizzas, most entrees only have one ingredient that needs to be removed to make it gluten free. For desserts, our Like Water for chocolate Surprise, crème brulee, and sorbet are all Gluten-Free We have committed to keep expanding the list of items we offer that are gluten free, as we find high quality products that support that commitment. Thanks again for considering us, and we look forward to having you join us sometime!

Are you open for lunch on Sunday

Dear Patsy. We are sorry but opal restaurant and bar is not open for lunch on weekends or weekdays. As our lunch is more business-driven, we may resume weekday lunch service when enough people return to their offices. We are open 7 nights a week from 5 pm, though so we hope you can join us for dinner. Warm Regards Richard Yates With Tina Takaya Owners, opal restaurant and bar

I would call them. It can change from different seasons at some restaurants.

Yes, we have some outside seating that works well for guests with pets. However, the availability of that is dependent on the seasons, so please check re any specific date you might want to book to see how feasible it might be on that occasion.
