Review:
A favorite with many of the locals in Santa Barbara, Opal Restaurant and Bar is located in the Historic Art District. This restaurant features a classic black and white checkered floor, decorative wood columns, casual pendant lighting, banquette and table seating and romantic red linen table coverings. Colorful artwork and large pane windows with views of downtown Santa Barbara complete the romantic vibe. The executive chef uses locally sourced ingredients to create American-style dishes with global influences. Entrées include items like lemon grass crusted fresh salmon – Thai curry sauce, sautéed Julienne vegetables, caramelized apple and orange zest, and basmati rice.
