Having read and heard mixed reviews of Opal we decided to try the happy hour last Thursday. The staff were very good at responding to my emails about menus and reserving a table.
We had a lovely table outside with a great view of the grounds and sea.
We started by ordering a pitcher of gin fizz – it did seem a bit odd when it came that there were whole leaves of mint making it quite difficult to drink but after a few minutes a different member of staff arrived to explain it had been made incorrectly and a fresh pitcher arrived! The drink was lovely. We ordered the 3 tapas offer (80qr) of beef burger, lamb burger and prawn tempura and the food was really good and the portions offered good value for money.
As we had enjoyed the tapas and it was getting late we decided to order a main and a bucket of beers taking advantage of our entertainer voucher. I ordered steak ( no fries, no sauce) my husband the burger. The food arrived quickly but my steak was served with fries and sauce which was odd as I had specifically asked for it without. My husband loved his burger but my steak was a bit fatty, not the best I’ve ever had.
Overall it was a really nice night, the service was good and we chatted with the manager for a while. I’d go back for Thursday night promotion but probably not rush back to eat off the main menu even with the entertainer voucher.
