    We have eaten at The Opposition many times, usually for a pre-theatre meal. Everything met our expectations on this occasion, and we look forward to our next visit. The staff were friendly but not over-familiar and the service was excellent without being rushed. The food was of a very high standard indeed. The ambience was lively without being too noisy, and the tables were not too close together. All in all a great experience!
