How we went to Opera. And why we are not going there anymore.

In March, right before corona kicked in and closed all the doors, we managed to visit newly opened Opera restaurant on aa movie night. That’s the new pavilion in the central park. We had some tartar and hummus, a mushroom pie and creme brûlée. Was delicious.

We returned there on my birthday. Menu was new, from scratch. We had shrimp tempura, asian type salad, salmon poke bowl, schnitzel and limoncello cake. Everything was so delicious again that Scott was ready to have another meal there next day.

They did have a sign by the door that 2+2 should be followed and wait to be seated. Turned out that both rules are for pussies. But the chick in sweatpants, cap and shiny pink Versace purse with her date were for sure not pussies and chose in otherwise completely empty room the table right next to us.




And then, we went there again in June. Six of us this time. And new menu again. From scratch again. We did have someone with us, who could only eat veggies and she asked for some. The waitress went to the kitchen to ask, returned and informed us that all the veggies were foreseen for some other meal already. Oh, well. We found tomato salad with cheese from local farmer and pesto. So we asked to skip the cheese and pesto and just serve her tomatoes. What arrived on our table, was a plate with three slices of tomato and three little cherry tomatoes. And some olive oil. When it was time to pay the bill, it turned out that we were served the most expensive tomatoes in country - the price for three slices and three cherry tomatoes was 9EUR. We asked them to at least pack us the cheese and pesto for take away. We got a walnut size of soft cheese and tablespoon of pesto. Since also the rest of the food was average, we will be eating somewhere else.
