Everything was great. The service paced the meal to our liking which was great, didn’t feel rushed. It was a nice, busy atmosphere without being too loud. All staff was attentive and kept our table clean and well watered. Food was of course great. Perfect place to hit before a show.

Great experience at Opal. Their staff was very accommodating and got us in without a reservation.
I tried the 3 course set menu they had during grad week. Everything was delicious leading up to the main course. My steak was a little over cooked but overall I would go back again.

The salmon was excellent and the service outstanding. The best meal I had in Santa Barbara.

I really hate going out and spending $100 or more on a special date night only to have the food be awful. This is the first place I’ve been too where I feel like our meal was 100% worth the price. Everything was delicious! I can’t wait to go again.

The food is sooo good here. The quality of the food down to the bread before dinner was absolutely delicious. Try the chicken penne with chipotle sauce. That dish is super delicious! The grilled chicken mushroom is also great. Good service by staff. Will return when we are in the area.

I loved this place, I went with some friends, but it would be perfect for a little romantic date night. The service was excellent, the dishes were reasonably priced, the venue is small and quaint. For an appetizer we order the prawns wrapped in phyllo and they were excellent; the sauce that was on them was so delicious and perfectly paired with the cabbage and oranges. I ordered the chicken Marsala, it was tasty but a bit dry. My friend ordered the curried salmon, I wish had ordered that instead.

I have always been a fan of this restaurant. If you ask locals most would agree that this place has the best steak in town! We recently went and celebrated our company holiday party and I’m just blown away by the service! We had six orders of the coconut shrimp, they were so good we had to keep them coming. The truffle mushroom appetizer as well was insane so much flavor. Many of us got the filet(of course) all cooked to perfection. They catered to all our needs and kept the drinks flowing. We had an absolute blast. Thank you Paul & Mark and the rest of the team.

New Year’s Day 2023. Super cold night. I loved all the pretty lights from the tree and the starlights on State Street. Opal is a restaurant I have always wanted to try but had always thought it was out of my price range. Saved a little and was able to partake. My friend ate all “Starters” and drinks. I had a personal pizza, a drink, and dessert. The staff was friendly and went beyond. In a world that seems to have forgotten what Customer Service is, Opal has not. Opal is on State Street by the Arlington Theatre. Give it a try. It’s awesome!

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 big at a fancy restraunt) that I really could not beleive how good it was. Nephew got the ribeye and that was very good. This is a place that everybody should try. I’ll be back later with an edit since my other nephew is still tasting food. Oh by the way sister in law Lisa said tacos were a little mayonnaisey.
