    The reputation of L'Opposum has always been exceptional and it more than lived up to it last night' Cannot wait to go back! Faberge egg and Beef Wellington were superb, even the bread was special.

    As always, L’Opossum did not disappoint. Our server demonstrated her love of her work through her knowledge of the food and with humor. Each dish was unique and perfectly balanced and seasoned.

    We have been long time fans! We have spent lots of anniversary’s here. We got engaged during our last visit and it was so special! The food and service were outstanding! Our server, Anja, was a delight! Very informative on the menu and took special care to inquire of any dietary restrictions/allergies. We look forward to returning next year to celebrate!

    It was our first time dining at L'Opossum and we had so much fun! Service is exceptional and friendly. Everything we ate was beautiful and delicious. We loved the eclectic, tongue-in-cheek vibe of the concept. Highly recommend, and we will be back!

    Fantastic dinner. David Shannon rocks. Every morsel was over-the-top delicious and Kendel, our server, couldn't have been more polished, personable, and professional. The Vegan Orgy on Texas Beach was a complete flavor banger as promised, I would sell my soul for another bite of the Swank Bank — the whole thing is obscenely delicious, and the halibut was, of course, to die for. Thank you for a special birthday dinner.
