    Entrees were creative and delicious. Wine list is average. Desserts were ok. Creme brulee was soupy. Music was so loud we couldn't hear our server. We asked about turning it down a notch but that didn't happen.

    This was our 4th trip to L'Opposum and it was generally enjoyable. The appetizers are always exceptionally good. The escargot is one of the best appetizers we have had anywhere, bar none. Two of our entrees were excellent (Lamb and Coq au Morroco) but unfortunately the Swank Bank Lobster was way overcooked, chewy and generally lacked taste. The ambiance, music and decorations are always fun. And our service was impecable. Our server was incredibly good at describing the food and cocktails. It was like watching a food blog!

    What a delightful evening that did not disappoint! The service was top-notch, and the food was creative and cozy on a cold night. The restaurant is a feast for the eyes and the staff is very professional and friendly.

    So Ridiculously Pricey but So Good! Wonderful food & good service. Wish we had known about the cash discount before going though.
