OPA!

Leonard Caponegro

This is not the OPA my family and I remember. The last time we visited was in January 2020, and loved it then as well as the three prior times. Sadly, today was a very disappointing experience. The food was very good. The Appetizer sampler had very delicious options such as the kebabs, Spanikopita, pita, Tzatziki sauce and Gyro meat. The meat was perfectly cooked, the Spanikopita had a perfect balance of spinach and Phyllis, and the kebab meat, both chicken and pork, was juicy.The side salad had lots of vegetables and some dressing but no seasoning. The meals were good but my son's had issues. The tomato sauce had far too much cinnamon which made his Pastistio almost inedible. The French fries were perfectly cooked but it lacked any seasoning and flavor. A crispy outside and soft creamy center, but without salt and seasoning made the fries very bland. My wife's meal of the Lighter side of Gyro was chock full of pita, flavorful gyro meat, Tzatziki sauce and a salad with tomatoes, onions, greens and Greek Seasoning. My wife loved every bite and raved about it. My meal of Moussaka was delicious. The eggplant was perfectly cooked and in between was deliciously seasoned ground beef, and firm yet creamy potatoes, and topped off with a deliciously creamy bechamel sauce and topped with the tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was not as cinnamon forward as my son's which I found strange. The green beans were perfectly cooked, and had a nice dill flavor. I can't figure out why two starches are on the plate. The potatoes are dry and flavorless, and the rice is an afterthought because it lacks any flavor. My suggestion is to have one starch on the plate, and make it taste delicious. Putting two less than average starches on the plate is not a good idea. I can look past the scattered nature of our server, but I cannot look past how dirty our table and the vents were. The drink menu was caked in dirt, and sticky which leads me to believe that it hasn't been cleaned in quite some time. Then in the middle of the table, by the salt and pepper shakers were chunks of feta cheese and a small container left behind by a prior customer. The tops of the salt and pepper shakers were caked in dirt, and bits of salt and pepper were stuck in the dirt which looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. The air vents were caked in dust and has also not been cleaned in quite some time. Then my wife observed an employee cleaning the tables, and that employee failed to clean the middle of the table where the drink menu and salt and pepper shakers were. This explains why the middle of our table was dirty, and why the drink menu hadn't been wiped down. To make matters worse I observed a major lack of passion. When the waiter lit the flaming cheese he had his back turned to the table and just said OPA in a very low monotone voice. I was expecting a loud passionate exclamation of OPA because I know Greeks to be very passionate. Sadly, this waiter who lacked emotion really showcased some overall problems that need to be addressed. If it wasn't for the food tasting so good this rating would have been a 1. And this visit proves no matter how delicious the food is the ambiance and atmosphere can destroy the rating.

I have heard good things about OPA and recently, I went with my family to grab some lunch. I was kind of skeptical at first but the experience as a whole was way better then I imagined! Here’s how it went: Pros: The food was excellent! I got the Gyro Burger as a change to see if Gyro meat is my thing. Surprisingly, the gyro meat was super tasty! It added some extra flavors to the burger itself and overall was super impressive! The fries, they were decent. The service was also super great. Cons: Nothing to worry about! OPA gets a good 5 out of 5!

I love the food at this local Greek restaurant. The gyros are amazing and I love that they have outdoor seating. Certainly something that Avon doesn't have enough of. The staff is always friendly, food is always fantastic. The only reason I gave this a 4 star instead of 5 is that d the last few times I have sat outside I would receive my meal well before our bottle of wine. Drinks tend to come out on the slow side. If you love good Greek food, just sit at the bar and have dinner and you’ll be in good shape.

We had 51 people on our charter bus, and within a day-and-a-half notice, Opa! gladly served our entire group. Gladly isn't an understatement. The owner came and met us and the waitress was so sweet - stressful as it is to serve a huge group. The food was SO fresh and some of the best Greek food I've ever had 😍 and the Greek coffee was outstanding. We were in and out in less than two hours. Absolutely wonderful place to eat!
