A Wednesday weeknight, restaurant quite full, service very attentive. Signature Phyllo Shrimp Curry, Seared, black pepper Scallop Salad, Wild Mushroom Pizza from the wood fuel Oven, Opal’s Paella. Local wine by the glass. All delicious, well plated and presented. Thank you Richard, Tina and Ryan..

My husband and I were on car trip and stopped in Santa Barbara for lunch. We wanted to treat ourselves to something nice. Opal left us very satisfied. EVERYTHING here is delicious! Even the bread and butter are remarkable. My hubby had the signature dish,...More

Enjoyed our meal here completely. Went to Opal on the recommendation of friends from Santa Barbara. Started with a hearty corn chowder soup (a daily special) and then added a warm seafood salad. The salad was close to perfect. Generous on the perfectly seasoned seafood....More

I feel sorry for restaurants in Santa Barbara. There are so many that being really good doesn't get you noticed. Opal was recommended to me and I'm glad that I went. Customer had shrimp and I had a Goat Cheese, Prosciutto and Garlic Spinach pizza....More

Very delicious meal! I had the salmon and it had wonderful Asian flavors. They even made a special calamari appetizer because my boyfriend asked for it special.

We were told by a bunch of people that we needed to dine at Opal Restaurant & Bar the next time our travels took us to Santa Barbara. I am so glad that we listened! They were very busy the night we came for dinner....More

We visited the restaurant with the friends on late evening , they took us in no problem. I had lamb chops special lovely with mushrooms sauce. Not to expensive good comfortable food , service very good and friendly. Definitely I would be back !

My wife and I visited Opal on the strength of the reviews. The service was very good but the atmosphere was rather sedate. Food was OK but very creamy and heavy. My wife struggled to eat half of her risotto and we were so bloated...More

Food was O.K. Service was O.K. I won't go back but not bad. Can't remember what I ordered...Atmosphere is nice enough.
