Food: Passable menu with good aspects

The food at Opah Seafood Grill is a mystery box - creativity that swings between brilliance and banality. Taste is another conundrum.

Vibe: Pleasing mood spoilt by noise

Aesthetically, Opah Seafood Grill is a work of art. Decked with perfect lighting and comfortable seating that can put one at ease. But all that quickly gets replaced by the misfitting DJ music. Albeit, the mood lighting and stylish decor grip you tightly on a romantic outing. Not to miss out on their creatively mixed cocktails and the Instagramable environment.

  • Great For Dates

    Romantic ambiance with mood lighting ideal for date nights, consistently praised.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Music compared to bad wedding DJ, negatively impacting dining experience.

Perks: Comfortable patio marred by noise

Despite the scarcity of parking, the restaurant maintains its positive stride with its easy reservation system. The heated patio is elegantly warm and spacious. However, you might struggle to hold conversations as you grapple with the overwhelming noise. Opah also accommodates dietary needs and organizes some play for kids with their Wikki Stix.

  • Great Outdoor

    Heated patio seating comfortable, warm, and spacious; ideal for dining.

  • Okay To Reserve

    Reservations recommended; can get crowded but service is consistent.

  • Bad For Groups

    Tables placed too closely impacts privacy and subtracts from experience.
