   Very cute little place. Attentive service and mostly tasty food. Pork belly wasn't as tender as expected but still tasted great. Patatas bravas was excellent as were the croquettes. Hake was a lovely dish too. Prawns were a bit disappointing. Nice beers and wine options too so overall a very pleasant meal and evening.

   We had a really enjoyable experience at Opera. Service was friendly although there we just two members of staff dealing with the whole of the upstairs area which left them a little stretched. The food was good, although some dishes were a little on the cold side by the time it reached us. Not really a problem though as we enjoyed everything we had. The Padron margarita was outstanding. The churros tasted like they were pre-frozen and were a little claggy. All in all, it was a fun and convenient stop-off for our post-matinee dinner. All good, just not outstanding.

   Great staff, great service, but food let it down. It was VERY busy and a Saturday night, but some food was cold, some overcooked and some just not appetising. I’ve been a dozen times over the years and this was a rare failure, sorry OT!!

   Not a good experience. After being the first in the restaurant for a pre theatre dinner we wer the last to be served every dish 40 minutes later. The service was very poor and the food would have been good, had it arrived all at once and hot. A great pity as it was a treat for my daughter after passing her exams.

   The food here is very good - the braised ox cheek is highly recommended. Delia was very attentive & graceful in her service. Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. It’s not cheap, but it is quality.

    The experience was lovely from the moment I arrived. The hostess, Leah, doubled as our waitress for most of the night and was always timely in getting us food and drinks. Incredible food was served, great Lamb and croquettes. Wide variety of drinks. Definitely will com again
