Hello everyone- we have all appreciated the re-opening of our businesses in an unrestricted fashion, and here at opal our goal is always to create a wonderful evening out with great food, drink, and company. But we have an equally important mission, to make sure we do so in a manner you can feel comfortable is safe as well as enjoyable.

 

Staff here at opal are all vaccinated but our local health department has issued a mask mandate for everyone inside a business, so at this time all staff will be masked, and we are tasked with requiring everyone to wear a mask whenever you are inside. This has just been extended until December 4, 2021.  But of course you may dine mask free when at your table as has always been the case during this time.

 

Bar service is currently fully open, though we have limited bar space available.

 

Our outdoor patio has a roof to provide more shelter on chilly nights, many heat lamps to keep you warm, and  with the addition of pull-down shades to keep the warmth in, we can provide a comfortable outdoor dining environment in almost every kind of weather. In addition to outdoor dining on our heated patio, we have limited indoor dining as well, with the only current restriction being the need to wear masks when indoors as noted above.

 

Our Dinner hours are 5-9 pm Sunday-Thursday and 5-10 pm Friday and Saturday. We will be closed Christmas Day, so that our staff may spend the day with their families, but we look forward to having you celebrate with us either before or after, as we will be open every other day surrounding the holiday. 

 

We are normally open for takeout, either pickup or delivery (though delivery options may change, based on the day of the week: see below for more details if there are changes) and we have online ordering options for either pickup or delivery, so that you can enjoy a wonderful meal from us at home.

 

For pickup, State Street is partially blocked but there is limited parking available by approaching State Street from Arlington Avenue.

 

To make a reservation to dine with us here, please click on the Proceed to Site link below and then click on reservations or call us at 805-966-9676 to inquire about availability and reserve a spot if we have an opening at the time you would like. 

 

opal is now offering Gluten Free Pasta as an alternative choice on any of our pasta dishes. After trying several products we decided on a wonderful corn-based Fusilli Pasta, so please feel free to ask your server to substitute this if you have a Gluten Sensitivity or Allergy.
