I went into Opa last week even after reading some of the negative reviews. A friend told me the food was very good. I got about five feet into the place when I realized that I might have made a mistake. My friend and I had been standing by the door for about 15 seconds, waiting to be seated, when a heavyset, older man (working behind the counter)very sarcastically asked me if we were going to stand there all day or sit down. Just then, a woman (looking very embarrased) came to us and proceeded to find us a table. She was very nice. I had a dual reason for coming as I had also been looking for a place to bring a group of friends for a small dinner gathering later in the month. I asked her if they had an area to accommodate a group of about twenty. She brought us to a back section that was very charming with lots of large plants and a glass ceiling. It had been very sunny that afternoon and I must admit that the room looked very bright and inviting. We proceeded to order our meals and the food was pretty good. The wait staff left a lot to be desired. They were not very friendly or attentive (it was early afternoon so the place wasn't very busy). As we were walking out after we had paid the bill, I stopped by the counter to ask the heavyset man if there was a business card I could take with me. I explained that I was thinking of bringing a group of friends there at another time. He then proceeded to lecture me on how his was a ""family restaurant"" and not one for ""noisy parties"". I was a little taken aback by his response and presumption. I am a 40 year old professional. On that day, I was wearing business casual attire. I tried to explain that he must have misunderstood me, but the ""I don't give a damn"" expression he had on his face, told me that I was wasting my time. Never again will I return there. For a great Greek restaurant, with delicious food, Stamatis is where I will be taking my business.
Cons: Very busy area with little parking
