Opal Washington Reviews
Fabulous dinner at Opal tonight.
We are pescatarian and appreciated the creating and beautiful options. Our server, Julianna, was exceptional and when we told her we were on a time crunch she made sure we could make it out on time.
Great neighborhood brunch spot
Went here for the first time for brunch during restaurant week and we were extremely pleased. Our waiter was especially attentive and friendly and thoroughly explained the menu and gave recommendations which proved spot on! We had the unlimited bever

I just had Mother's Day brunch at opal and was served not one but three cold dishes. I sent the first one back and it went down hill from there. The food is just not hot and no one cared. Cold eggs Benedict is impossible to make. Don't go a

I've been meaning to try out this spot after watching its reel on an IG account on DMV bites. Came here for brunch with my friend to celebrate his birthday and we both ordered the three course meal. The oysters were delightful and the risotto sm
Brunch review: excellent! Staff was friendly and attentive
Brunch review: excellent! Staff was friendly and attentive and the food was fantastic! This place has a cute coastal vibe on the inside and it really worked. I got the bottomless drinks for $17 and the 3 course brunch deal for $39. Starting with thei
This place is .
. interesting. First, if you want to go, make a reservation. But the food itself is mediocre at best. We got the following: - lamb pita (5/5) great! But very small for the price. This is not a "meal" pita - puttanesca (2.5/5) fine but tas

Had a great experience here! Came on a Sunday for brunch and while we didn't have a reservation we were able to sit at the bar and get similar service. Fermine was our bartender/server and was so kind, helpful and continuously attentive! We did

Have brunched here several times and each time have had a delightful experience. The service is warm and attentive - you can tell they really want to get things right. The space is airy and elegant without being fussy. And the food is good - the mi
Fresh, simple but sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine
Fresh, simple but sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine adjacent takes in a nicely understated but vibey spot. Standouts at dinner are the mezzes. Especially the lamb pitas which I wish was a dinner sized portion. The bread service is out of this wor
I ordered the NYE MENU.
The portions were tiny. If that's what would be served in the restaurant I would never go there. You couldn't even fill the vessel on the ravioli and bisque. Shame on you. Then the flavor was so bland. I'm sorry but a hard pass on Op
Disappointing and expensive
Our second dinner at Opal in a few months. First one was OK. Second is really disappointing. Quite expensive for a very average quality of food. Avoid the desserts if you do not want to end up with diabetes.
Check your food temperature prior to serving please
Cute little spot. Service was good but my shrimp and grits were served cold. So that left a not so pleasant experience for the foodie in me.
Dinner in Washington, DC
Came here recently Friday night for my birthday dinner with friends—overall it was great! Service was good too. Food was delicious! Highly recommend the Maine Lobster Ravioli, Clams with Saffron Spaghetti, Dry Aged Roseda Beef Striploin, and Mus
Brunch — don’t go
So, nice ambience and nice dinner, but brunch was not good. I have been to Opal for dinner and it was very nice. Went for brunch with friend and not good. They have a fixed price and you select and first and second course. First course was fruit
Excellent Thanksgiving Dinner @ Opal
Opal delivered an absolutely fantastic Thanksgiving dinner to our group of nine people. The roast beef was spectacular, but all dishes were excellent. Our group included a celiac gluten intolerant and vegetarian eater. They graciously prepared
DO NOT miss Opal in DC. Five stars for atmosphere and delicious food
Opal is tremendous. We have gone many many times since it opened and every time the food and service has been top notch. We’ve had almost everything on the brunch and dinner menu. Our favorites are the carrots. (Amazing as an appetizer or with an
Plenty of paces in the hood, spend your money elsewhere
The food here is fine but expensive. My husband had pasta with clams, which was well prepared and flavorful. I had gazpacho as a starter. Though I’ve had better, it was decent. My mushroom risotto was average, a bit starchy, with the red wine sauce
A great addition to the neighborhood!
We had such a wonderful time here that I write this review the same night. We loved everything about this restaurant. We chose the four course price fixed menu which also included a choice of four entrees. Everything was delicious. Absolutely every d
very good food and service, but main courses were a bit small
The menu is quite varied and we saw many things we would have liked to try. In the end, I had the tuna sashimi starter and the scallops as main course, and both were excellent. But together still a bit too little food for me. I don't get why the
Connect with users posting reservations for Opal Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Opal Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Opal Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Opal Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Opal Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Opal Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
