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.

The service is exceptional and top notch. The kitchen crew is excellent. I think the issue is the menu. The ambiance is very very nice. The lamb is over priced and not great. The calamari is very good. The specials are usually very good. The olive oil and bread ranks among the best I've ever had. Roast lamb may be a good item to add.

The service is super friendly and the food very fresh and tasty. There are the usual Greek dishes including expected vegitarian choices like falafel, spanakopita, dolmathes, baklava as well as daily fresh made broccoli slaw and fresh made vidalia onion rings (all homemade). Of course there is a lot of meat, too, carved from large spits. Nice outdoor picnic table seating, dog friendly of course. With the outdoor fired pizza a block away, the BBQ joint across the street and the duck restaurant, the Village may be becoming a food destination. I just wish the hours were a bit longer into the evening.

This was parked at Sugarloaf in the month of February. I ordered a beef and lamb gyro and it wasn't…read moreeven a gyro. It had a handful of pieces of beef and tons of lettuce and tomatoes slathered with some thick paste (supposed to be tzaziki.) One of the worse beef wraps that I've ever had. I don't think they should call it a gyro because it's not. False advertisement. A gyro should contain gyro meat. Maybe people don't realize a gyro is not just a pita bread stuffed with any kind of meat.

The food, unfortunately, was inconsistent: 1. Spreads: tzatziki and htipiti were fantastic; fava was good but a clear third place. I'd buy the first two to go if I could. 5/5 2. Octopus: a bit small but well-cooked and not at all chewy. Would order again. 4/5 3. Squash fritters: these were just bad; lukewarm and what little flavor there was was unappealing. 1/5 4. Lentil soup: extremely bland; badly needed more seasoning. 2/5 5. Sesame crusted feta: this had potential, but was let down by being extremely salty. 3/5 6. Pastitsio (greek pasta): pasta itself seemed a bit plain, but the bechamel was very well done; I'd order this again. 4/5 7. Baklava: solid -- pretty much what I was expecting from a Greek place. 4/5 No complaints about service. We aren't wine drinkers so we can't comment on the drink menu.

Nothing was seasoned, the chicken was barely grilled, and the steak was inedible and tasted gamey like lamb. Usually a tasty sauce can save mediocre meat, but the tzatziki tasted like plain yogurt. The rice you can see for yourself. Tasted like boil-in-bag rice with some soggy vegetables. I really am not a picky eater and was hungry for this but couldn't even finish.

Lovely interior and excellent service!…read more I was at Magissa for a birthday brunch with a party of 11! We had a beautiful and comfortable table at the back of the restaurant with a curved cushioned bench. For shared apps, we ordered a collection of dips, spanakopita, and stuffed grape leaves. All were great, although the stuffed grape leaves were some of the best I've ever had. For my main, I ordered Shakshuka, which was very good, although I was distracted by a side waffle I was sharing with someone else. The waffle was AWESOME!!!! Coffee came in my own personal French press, and there were three interesting mocktails on the menu as well. Overall, highly recommend Magissa!

Easy free on street parking located near many breweries on nearby Fox street. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive . Not a lot of beers available, but both local for on tap. Had delicious IPA from Goodfire and tried the imported bottle Greek beer which was awesome and refreshening. My wife had a glass of wine which she really liked and the waiter was helpful in helping her decide based on her wine preferences. For food we ordered hash browns which were good flavor and two Gyros- tofu variety for my vegetarian wife and I had the chicken. The pita and tzatziki and all ingredients in the Gyros tasted super fresh and both tofu and chicken were well cooked. It was so good I almost ordered a second one! Will definitely be back for their daily happy hour and to try out more of what they offer. Downside is cost-is a bit more expensive at 70+ dolllars for 1 wine, 2 beers and the food above, but it was very good!

We loved the Grecian - a Greek themed mixed appetizer plate with yummy pitas. The only addition that would have been good was a wedge of lemon but we devoured it before asking for one. LOL. We shared the shrimp appetizer- Gamberi e Agrumi- which was cooked perfectly but honestly it was the sauce that stole the show! Pistachio orange honey sauce - mmmm- so good. Then we shared Keftedes which was nice - half vegetarian for me and half lamb/beef. They were good but we couldn't stop thinking about the shrimp sauce. I had some Greek red wine which was fabulous!! We made a note to ourselves to be sure and stop here anytime we are in Brunswick.

Served here is an eclectic mix of Greek and Italian food. Not just the same tired old standards…read more(Parmigiana, Bolognese, Gyros), though they have these as well. The menu is pretty small and the dishes are not fancy, but this is more than made up for by the bold, fresh flavors, less-common ingredients, artful presentation, and generous portions. And equally importantly, creativity. Take the parmigiana, for example. Rather than boring, dry chicken breast theirs are made with boneless thighs, a much more interesting choice. In the carbonara, where you might expect bacon, something better: guanciale. Decorative herbs? Not the common parsley sprigs, instead beautiful purple micro-basil. The pastas: every one is made fresh in house, not dried. Excellent service as well. My waiter, Lucas, could not have been better, in every way. As for the bartender, Russell, the specialty cocktails are his own creations, with whimsical names, ingredients many of which I've never heard of, and the two I tried were fantastic. And he seemed genuinely pleased when I complimented him on this as I was leaving. The only service flaw - minor - was a delay in getting my first drink, which arrived after my appetizer. Appetizer was Arancini. Crunchy coating, and inside a risotto-style rice, al dente, along with asparagus, guanciale, and two cheeses for added interest. A beautiful presentation, artfully drizzled with lemon aioli (the lemon too subtle) and purple micro-basil. Two large pieces, and because I was dining solo I took one home for breakfast - along with half the generously-sized dessert cake. My cocktails: Eve's Temptation: Caraway-thyme infused vodka, Oloroso sherry, Dolin dry vermouth, apple, lemon. Hattan Bow Tie: Basil Hayden bourbon, Cocchi Barolo Chinato, Pernod Absinthe Superiore, flamed orange. Wish I could have tried every one! There's also a very interesting-sounding wine list including a red sparking Lambrusco dessert wine, served chilled, that I wanted to try but didn't. Lucas recommended the special pasta of the day, a simple dish of house-made spaghetti, romano, Calabrian chilis, garlic (lots and lots of it!), parsley, and bread crumbs. I don't normally go for pasta entrees, especially simple ones like this, but in this case it sounded interesting and I trusted his recommendation - after adding the optional grilled shrimp and guanciale. These additions raised the price considerably, but it was so worth it. The fresh pasta was perfectly cooked and the cheeses and bread crumbs added body without making it too heavy. The shrimps were very large, not overcooked, fresh, and loaded with more garlic flavor. The tails were not removed, which always slightly annoys me. The guanciale added smokiness and textural interest. More purple micro-basil for garnish. Pretty to be sure but disappointing to see it again; they used that on the arancini. As for the heat: it was more than mild from the chilis but by no means hot. The most assertive flavor was the garlic, much of it raw. Maybe a bit excessive but I'd rather have too much than too little. A good-sized portion but not huge, just the right amount to feel satisfied but not stuffed. And I left room for dessert! Dessert options were limited, even more so than the entrees. I decided on the pistachio olive oil cake. My take is it's like a pound cake but made with olive oil instead of butter. Olive oil was also drizzled on the plate and over the whipped cream; interesting. Lots of pistachio flavor, in the cake itself and also in the candied pistachios mixed in and sprinkled over the whipped cream which was flavored and firm. I ate one of the two slices and that was enough, taking the rest home. When I opened the box the next day I saw that they had even packed the leftover whipped cream in a small container, and it was still firm, not runny. Impressive. Disappointingly, there are no ice cream or gelato offerings for dessert. Lucas agreed with me that it seems a strange omission for an Italian restaurant. The room is comfortable and attractive, natural wood, old-fashioned cabinets, cork and burlap dominant in the decor. Plant prints, mosaics made from wine corks, an antique dresser in the men's room. The bar, dominant in the room (no TVs - yeah!), is apparently the place to meet and greet in Brunswick. I lost count of the number of hugs exchanged between the many people coming and going over the 90 minutes I was there. No hugs for me but I enjoyed watching the activity.

Love space is actually quite lovely and very clean and welcoming. I was greeted right when i came in and was helped with all my questions by the nice gentleman. He recommended some dishes and he did not steer me wrong! I opted for the feta fries, the chicken rice bowl with pita, the dolmades, and the baklava. Everything was delicious and so fresh tasting. Get all the side sauces (tzatziki, hummus, garlic dip) they are so good and you can tell they are made in house. The chicken in the bowl i got was cooked perfectly and so fresh. The feta fries are such a fun addition as well as the dolmades since i had been wanting to try those! The baklava is a perfect sweet end to the meal you can't miss. What a great experience - it's worth noting how fast the can put together your order as well. I would also love to mention that a delivery driver came in and the man made him food to take with him which was extremely sweet. As someone who works in a similar industry i know how rare it is when you come across someone who thanks their delivery drivers like this man did. This is a must try spot!!!!

First off we had a reservation for 7:30 and we didn't get seated till 7:50 and had to wait awkwardly in a small entry space. Then we were seated and it took a while for our server to get our drinks. We got the octopus appetizer and it was just okay, nothing special. We got our entrees and they were very good portion sizes which I like especially for the price. I got the swordfish which was very tasty but still not mind blowing. We got a dessert and they did our happy birthday on it for her but that was it. Even though we did tell the server it was her birthday. Overall I was just expecting more from this place, especially with the price point and it fell short.
