   We were staying at the hotel above so we went once for a late afternoon drink and the next day for breakfast. Drinks and food were good but the place is severely understaffed so you better be patient. Despite having a reservation for breakfast , there’s no host at the front so it made no difference and we waited 20 min before being seated. Waiters constantly run table to table, I feel bad for them

   Opaline is a nice restaurant, but for the amount of money you will have to spend, your money is better spent elsewhere.

   We dined early on Christmas Eve at Opaline so it wasn't crowded. The host and wait staff were most accommodating. They offered a three-course prix-fixe that included a nice variety of dishes. We shared the butternut squash bisque and shrimp cocktail appetizers, the filet mignon and halibut mains, and the apple galette and white chocolate raspberry mouse for dessert. Each was excellent. The main dining room was closed for COVID concerns so we ate in the bar. It was elegantly decorated, the ambient light sufficient to read the menu but not glaring. We found a jewel with Opaline.

    Ambiance and Entree/Cocktail were great, however the Wait Staff was way too aggressive. I had a 7PM reservation, and called to share I’d be running late, but was still questioned by a Server when I arrived. I offered to sit at the Bar even though almost all of the restaurant was empty, where I was hovered over the entire time being told 2 or 3 times to order a dessert, and 3 or 4 times to order a second drink with my meal. I shared that I had an event early the next morning and declined, and then was told by a Server that I “would learn one day what it was like to work and have responsibilities..”? I suppose he judged my age off my appearance, and I shared in response that I have a full time career and a second job, to which he then stopped pushing for more orders. I felt uncomfortable throughout, payed cash and left immediately following my meal. As I was leaving, the same Server felt obligated to hand me my receipt when I already laid cash out, in an effort to attempt to protect his tip, I imagine. I tipped my usual 20%, but likely shouldn’t have given how aggressive they were throughout. I’d encourage doing research and finding a better spot, or definitely opting for the patio or a regular table.

    Dining outside at the Opaline was a truly DC experience. The duck with beets and berries was cooked just right with the beets augmenting the superb taste of the duck. My daughter and I visit DC, from Maryland, for a weekend stay at least twice a year and the Opaline is always part of that experience. The service is personal and impeccable.

    I had been before but never for breakfast/brunch . Breakfast was truly a disappointment. Limued options and food was not good. Viennoisseries were old and overheated, dry and way too oily and no bread offered with eggs. Coffee was lukewarm but what really topped it all was the lack of service and to boot the automated 18% tip for a table of only 2. Won't go back at least not ever for breakfast.

    We found this little gem and we are happy we did. The patio is really cute and the inside looks really nice as well. The food was really tasty, we both had the duck and loved the creativity of the dish. Our only complaint is that there is not a super accessible wine list, only 4 red options and all were $50 or over. Would have liked a more affordable option but in the end, the Pinot Noir we had was very tasty. Will definitely be back for a date night, it was nice and the service was wonderful.

    Our server seemed to be in a hurry at all times. Hurry to clean the table when we were still working on our dishes. Hurry to take everything away. Hurry to give us the check when we, apparently, haven't finished our food yet. Worst experience ever.

    We frequently travel to DC to spend get-away time. We had walked past Opaline several times and decide to try it this past Saturday. What a disappointment. Service was absolutely awful....not just for us, but the several tables around us were treated as poorly (we didn't complain, but many around us were vocal.) Food delivery was just terrible...I guess the kitchen was understaffed or just didn't know what they were doing. The servers appeared totally confused. The food itself turned out to be ho-hum. I had the chicken, mine was tolerable, but the lady next to me got hers delivered burned..... My guest ordered his hamburger well done...came out nearly rare. With so many good restaurants in DC, I recommend avoiding the Opaline.

    We were on the terrace on a pleasant evening. Considering the year we've been locked down it was a welcome experience. The menu, however, is very limited which I can understand since few people are eating out. When the menu changes we would certainly consider going back.
