What's the word? Some recent diners at Opa! shared their thoughts with Patch:

"The waiters and waitresses are very nice. I like the flaming cheese!" —Pat Harrison

"We come and share the Greek salad and an order of souvlaki, and I don't blow my low-carb diet (as long as I don't start on the pita bread.) —Mary Beth Harrison

"It's a little loud inside, but it's nice outdoors when the construction noise stops."—Judy Wenke

"It's one of the few places in Los Altos that stays open until 11 p.m. We have a glass of wine after work and share an order of fries."—Darryl Franks

Tell us more about those Greek fries: 

"They just have a lot of flavor. It think it's from the feta cheese."—Darryl Franks

"Oh, I love them. They have feta cheese and herbs, and Opa! serves them with two dipping sauces. One is a creamy mustard sauce and the other is a ranch dip. They're so good!"—Jenni Cave
