Opera Bar & Events

Hidden Gem We celebrated my daughters 21st Birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal!!! After months and months of preparation with the proprietor Mario, the party was amazing from start to finish. Mario and I had been conversating since April 2021 during lockdown and we didn’t even know whether lockdown would be opened- the party was planned for August. So, he said let’s wait until June and take it from there. At the time I hadn’t paid a deposit and was worried someone would take my date but Mario reassured me weekly/fortnightly by email/phone. In June we went through the meal choices; buffet/3 course meal and discussed the menu. I selected the 3-course meal. We went through décor, a choice of seat covers, chair ties, table cloths, centre pieces; he was absolutely thorough. I knew he was a perfectionist and I felt this party was in safe hands. As the weeks went by the numbers increased and the food allergies/intolerances grew. Mario smiled and took it all in his stride. We organized our own balloonist, DJ and videographer. Mario made recommendations. The 3-course meal and bar prices were very reasonable. Mario even bought us some Wray & Nephew which put the party into swing. As we approached the day, we both became quite nervous as we had just been given the all clear post lockdown and the day was upon us. On arrival the venue was absolutely beautiful we had chosen a pastel theme, Mario and his team had made my vision a reality and more. The staff were sooooo professional, attentive and everything was done with a smile. I could not fault them- the hospitality was 10/10. There was a young waitress who had started that night, initially she was nervous but as the night unfolded you would never have known. Thank you- You know who you are. My daughter cried on arrival not knowing the full details of the event, the food was Michelin 10/10, a big shout out to the chef- Marios wife Maria. We had a seating plan with numbers that indicated their menu choice and the children all sat on one table. The food was hot and very quick. The family were dancing straight after starters it was that good. Security were cool guys, making sure we were safe and nothing untoward was happening. Thanks guys. From the bottom of my heart I would like to say a huge thank you to Mario, Maria, all the waiting/bar staff and security. Mario you are a Star!- a perfectionist which made me feel safe. Wishing you all the best for the future – Opera Restaurant Bar is a Hidden Gem. Thank you and Good Luck. Louise & girls X

We had a small gathering for our wedding reception recently. The venue was very clean, well presented and the food was amazing. Mario and the staff were always very friendly and helpful, with nothing being too much trouble. It’s great value for money and I would recommend this venue

My girlfriend arranged a surprise 50th Birthday Party here last weekend and we had a fantastic evening. The food and staff was amazing all night long. The venue was the perfect size for the party and a lot of effort was made by everyone especially Mario and Lilly the owners. Thank yo for a great night to remember.

Very nice restaurant, friendly staff, the food was excellent, car park just across the street.

Had a great time, food excellent service excellent, even given a free bottle of wine as it was our wedding anniversary. Highly recommend. We were all impressed and will be back for more. Thank you Mario and Lily
