My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Opal sits on Connecticut Avenue NW in Northwest DC, working from a coastal cuisine philosophy that puts simplicity and freshness first. The kitchen sources locally from the Mid-Atlantic when it can, and reaches further along the American coastline for seasonal ingredients outside that region.

The menu runs small plates with a thoughtful, curated feel, served across both indoor and outdoor spaces. The restaurant also operates as a private dining and catering venue.

Michelin has selected Opal for its Washington DC guide in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
