Was on a little road trip this past Sunday and we decided to stop in! Everything we tried was…read moredelish and the bartender we had who seemed somewhat new was great! If we are ever up in the area again we would stop again!

To get to the point, this place is a hidden gem in Waterville. I came here for lunch last week…read morewhen I was in town to visit the art museum. I selected Opa because of the other great reviews and I like Mediterranean food. I was greeted with a warm welcome as soon as I came in and sat at the bar. I initially got a Greek coffee which was made to order, hot and delicious. Ava, the bartender, was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. I couldn't have asked for more. I ordered the falafel dish and was quickly brought a plate of warm bread and olives in oil. Both were outstanding! Looking over the menu, I noticed they had a few Greek wines so I asked Ava about one interesting one that had hints of fig and tobacco. She immediately poured me a sample to taste and it was delicious so I got a glass. My meal came and it too was really outstanding. Every bite was delicious. To add to my experience, Ava put the Bob Ross channel on the TV above the bar so I got my art experience too. Later, the chef came out and talked to me for a while about travelling to Greece to really study the cuisine. He was clearly continuing to immerse himself in the culture to further perfect his already highly skilled craft. I would highly recommend Opa. What a wonderful total experience.

Excellent customer service! If they are busy (which is often all day on the weekends), they will…read moretake your name and number and will call you when your table is ready. Location - Great thing about their location is there are plenty of places to kill time while waiting for your table - local shops or Waterville Creates. We were there on a Saturday and we arrived around 2:30 for an late lunch/early dinner. To our surprise, there was a 25 minute wait! It's a popular family restaurant as well. It's a lot bigger inside than it seems from the outside. When you walk in, there are mostly high tables and a long bar with seating. Walk past the bar and on the right is a dining area with a lot more tables. We had 2 kids and 4 adults and we had plenty of room at a center table. There were booths along the wall. Our server was so great. So patient, and kind. She was great. She checked in regularly, our drinks never went dry. The food was excellent. We had the food for take out during the pandemic and thought it was ok. Having it in the restaurant - HUGE difference. I got the cheese curd burger without the top bun. My nephew loved his chicken wings, my niece loved her mac and cheese. We all loved our burgers and my bro-in-law liked his reuben. I loved the fries, they seemed more the "chips" from the UK - which I loved. Parking - street or on the concourse below Main Street. We will definitely be back.

Our server was super attentive and very friendly. Parking was tough. Not sure about public parking in the area as we are from out of town. Luckily we did find a spot on Common St. Give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed.

We have had good experiences with our take out orders. They…read moreare a very busy restaurant, given they are really the only Mexican restaurant in Waterville. They are so busy, at times, they do not accept take out orders. We ordered take out and there was a line right to the door waiting to be seated. The tables were full and it was not even 5pm on Saturday. The waiting area is decent, but can get crowded in the front hallways section. The restaurant is a bit dark, in fact, we had a hard time reading the receipt in the waiting area to complete it. Plenting of seating, a lot of booths. Very clean. LOL The staff members were definitely hustling - moving quickly to serve and clear tables and address people getting take out (us). The food tastes fresh and not overly seasoned. I was surprised at how mild, almost dull some of the meats were, with the exception of the delicious chorizo chimichanga. The pulled pork and the chicken, definitely needed the sauces and salsas that come with it. Warning, if you are not fan of cilantro, you may want to ask before ordering, as some of the items have it automatically added and cooked with it. There is plenty of food with every order, including chips and salsa to go. We definitely will be back and hope to have dinner at the restaurant sometime.

Went in this past Saturday for an early Mother's Day lunch. Seated promptly, ordered frozen…read moremargaritas. Given a basket of cold chips and salsa. Drinks came some time later and for the first time in my adult life - I sent mine back. No hint of lime nor tequila. It was like a flavorless snow cone. Food finally came and the food wasn't what we ordered. Close enough. Blandest "authentic Mexican" food you'll ever eat. Service was sporadic, building needs a paint job, but the waitress was nice. Probably won't go back.

Best food in town! The soup was fresh and well seasoned. The service was fantastic. Great customer…read moreservice. You have to get the tofu shawarma (signature dish) and the zatar bread.

We loved it! We found out about this location through an email article from Downeast Magazine…read more Service was so nice and welcoming! Small operation and the husband and wife team make it feel like you are dining at a family's home. Cozy and welcoming filled with delicious aromas of the food. We called in an order for take out. Glad we did, as there was a few people order at the counter when we arrived. Apparently there is the potential of them selling out, so order early! We ordered the following and LOVED everything, even the 3rd year old: Arayas - Lebanese Pita stuffed with Kofta seasoned Beef, accompanied by Greens and dollops of Zhoug and Labneh. Baked Crispy Spinach Fatayer - Onion, Lemon, EVOO in a Soft Pastry Pouch. Meat Fatayer - A Levantine Cuisine Staple, Ground Beef, Tomato, Onion, Pomegranate Molasses, Lebanese Seven Spice and Garnished w/ Pine Nuts. Chicken Shawarma Wrap - Braised Chicken Thighs, with Tabbouleh, Labneh, Tahini Dressing, and Pickled Onions, Grilled Crisped in Tandoori Bread. Kibbe - This Lebanese recipe is popular throughout the Middle East - made with Beef, Cracked Wheat, Onion, Spices and Pine Nuts. Chicken & Rice - Simmered with Beef, Rice, Pine nuts, Chicken Broth and Lebanese 7 Spice. Lubia b'Zeit - Green Beans, Onion & Tomato with EVVO & Seven Spice over Basmati Rice. (Vegan) The portions were great and we were able to share. My favorite was the Arayas and the Chicken Shawarma Wrap. We definitely recommend and can't wait to eat there again.
