Dining Party · 25 guests · May 2025
First off, I really enjoyed working with Irina on the team. The space itself is comfortable and cozy, and truly feels separated from the rest of the restaurant. Food was good.
Service was a bit slow (to the point where dessert began arriving after the group was already dispersing).

We had the La Scala room for our summer drinks and really enjoyed it. A big thank you to Gabi and Aaron for their excellent customer service throughout the evening - you both made all the difference! Also a big thank you to Irina for her amazing communication, patience and kindness during the booking process. Our party enjoyed the evening - the food was INCREDIBLE as well as the venue, facilities etc. We could not fault Opera tavern and will definitely be returning! Thank you again
