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 fully vaccinated and our local health department has lifted the requirement to wear masks inside for guests. Our staff is no longer required to wear masks, however some of us may continue to wear them as a personal choice.  On that topic, we have also installed high quality antiviral UV filters on our air-conditioning system, and doors are open throughout service, to ensure we provide the safest environment possible for your dining.

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

Our outdoor parklet/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 sun out and 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.

Our usual Dinner hours are 5-9 pm Sunday-Thursday and 5-10 pm Friday and Saturday. 

We are normally open for takeout, either pickup or delivery, and we have online ordering options for either pickup or delivery, so that you can enjoy a wonderful meal from us at home.  However takeout options may change, based on the day of the week.  

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 link below 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 and rice-based Penne Pasta, so please feel free to ask your server to substitute this if you have a Gluten Sensitivity or Allergy.
