"I love Greek cuisine. I have eaten here multiple times and celebrated my birthday here with a party of 4. Located just of Marylebone high street, the street is not too quiet and not too busy, it’s just right, located on a corner plot the restaurant gets lovely daylight through the glass if you’re eating in the evening in the summer and it compliments the decor inside. The decoration, fixtures and fittings are gorgeous giving a warm and cool feeling at the same time with the copper colours and metallic/wood fixtures. They have a long central, high chair dining table and normal tables for 2 and 4 people, I have dined on the high chairs for small meals, I wouldn’t recommend it for dinner as it gets uncomfortable. This place pushes Greek cuisine into the modern day with its contemporary tapas-style dishes. The staff are really friendly and there when you need them and when you don’t need them you won’t notice or be disturbed by them. This is a high-end Greek restaurant, I feel like it belongs in Mayfair however I admire the fact of their choice of location as I believe where Opso will be they stand out and don’t need to rely on a location for reputation. The menu is a little small, However, I appreciate it as it allows them to focus more on what is available and make it to perfection. The menu had a balanced variety and I honestly believe you will be happy with any of the dishes. The aesthetic presentation of the food is wonderful, awesome for taking pictures. The food is delicious I shan’t comment further, it speaks for itself. If you have a special occasion to celebrate, they facilitate well, they brought me a lovely slice of cake on a glass platter with my name written in chocolate sauce and candles and they brought it over and I had my 15mins of fame at Opso, they made me the centre of attention. Cocktails: They have good bartenders and I’m always left feeling satisfied (that’s what she said) lol. Booking is a fairly easy process however they do get busy quick as they are in demand so plan. Pricing, I find it very reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. When I take my wife here I spend between 100-140 for starters, mains, small desserts and cocktails. I have and will be eating here again."

"I’m absolutely disgusted to have visited this restaurant and to be asked upon arrival if I have any allergies, to which I responded yes and explained I cannot eat onion or garlic. I then went on to order the carbonara and asked the waitress to confirm with the chef that there is no onion or garlic in the sauce, to which she said she cannot check. The host who seated us explained she would let the chef know of my allergies so I’m unsure what the difference is. Surely the person who is cooking the food within the kitchen is able to advise what ingredients is in the dish. I was informed this is company policy and they can’t check the packaging, however when I visited the Cheshire oaks restaurant the waiter was incredibly helpful and checked the packaging of the chicken for me to assist. I feel discriminated against for having allergies, that are totally out my control. I was told by the waitress that she is protecting the company’s reputation as you would be liable if she checks… what would make you more liable is if I order something after telling you of my allergies and then I have a reaction. You seriously need to rethink your policy. Every other restaurant I ever visit will adapt their dishes to suit my allergies, as should all food establishments. I was told you will only confirm the top 14 allergens… as though people with all other food allergies are irrelevant! I have never been made to feel so discriminated against in my life. Disgusting!"

"4/1/22 we three medium-age pescatarians decided on a laune for a quiet meal before place. we wanted something so decided against the excellent fera and chose a restaurant that we had eaten a Sunday midday buffet earlier (but I never looked it over when we came too late and they were dressing some years ago, my fault). when I was young, raised in the 70s, lee high road was famous as for its many Indian and bangladesch restaurants my first curry was a phal further along, thanks to my big brother who introduced me and bombay abe! we looked up their website menu and phoned at 7:30 to book for 9 o'clock and arrived on time to find a modern but completely empty restaurant (it was finally a Tuesday in covid times). the waiter saw us on our bare table with linen napkins and offered us the menu. because the place was empty (with a few food cure coming and going so that they have traded) had the waiter time to explain the menu. it was different and tempting and we chose a lot of directed who ask a few to be spicier than normal. we ordered the well-deserved beer (including a gurkha beer) as the wee were a little out of our league and I would not drink any wine with curry (we never made in indies! we chat a lot and the owner came to join us. we talked about ingredients (asafoetida etc.) and our travel in tamil nadu and chettinad cuisine. in the corner of the room was a picture of joanna lumley with the chef, who was over a sheck. they do much for the next love and serve the needy in lockdown as well as them. we did not notice paying a bit more than average for the dishes than result. we have rarely started, but they looked so tempting that we chose to share the scallops 8.50) and samosas 4.95). we have also chosen the most important courses and pages. in good time the appetizers came and they were beautifully presented with drizzled and lubricated sauces (how is the style today,) hot and tasty! the samosas were only two, but quite large, such a good introduction. the most important courses and sides came together and were also well presented and spided hot. the malabar fish 14.95) was very tasty and very well dimensioned. the thimi vegetable of my friend 10.95) he also found delicious, stuffed with fresh ingredients. the paneer lababdar 10.95 of our friend was also generous and tasty. we have tasted and agreed the dishes of others and our time to eat it, to enjoy every mouth. the accompanying mushroom rice 3.95,) tandoori roti 2.50,) dal makhani 5.50,) amilo piro brinjal 5.50) and say mushroom 5.50) were small portions but well flavored. quality not quantity! during the re-conversation with the owner I have brought to the expression that I thought that her next contest of the babur was a few miles away in honor oak, but there was a sweet one to the (more expensive but well established 30 years ago) two of us were there at his opening night baburs that none of us liked. we have preferred this restaurant in lee. Obviously more people in the house would have helped with the atmosphere and I am sure it is busy with people from blackheath. we ordered the bill and it came with an automatic 10% service fee (regardlessly) at 105. it is more than we pay in the rule, but it seems quite standard nowadays for three people. we left happy and sat at 10:35 o'clock."

"Afternoon Tea for 2 at 12:15pm We made a booking, paid a deposit and it was confirmed again the day before with an email. When we arrived the manager said he knew nothing about our booking, so nothing had been prepared. He apologised, and kept apologising. We were very disappointed as this was our first catch up in 8 years! The manager then went into the kitchen. When he came back he said could we wait for an hour while they prepare. He said there was a party of 50 people to cook for too. It was too late to go anywhere else. He placed us in a quieter area, offered us tea/coffee. We chose 1 tea and 1 black Americano. They came with 2 teas! Took one away and eventually arrived again with a coffee. The tea was not nice so it didn’t get drank. We ended up having to move to a different table as the smell from the accessible toilet absolutely stank when the door was opened. Eventually our food arrived. It was awful! The cheese sandwich bread was hard, the bacon sandwich was not that enjoyable, the chicken one was also not nice, the sweet potato one was horrible, soggy and looked awful. The scones were dry, clotted cream looked like it had seen better days. The small dessert ‘thing’ in a shot glass was disgusting, the cream ontop had already slid off onto the plate. The only nice thing was the very small chocolate brownie. We complained, the staff on the tills were actually very lovely and tried to help us over and over. Not their fault. They tried to reduce to bill, but not with much success. Only taking off £2 each! Then we reminded them that we’d paid a £10 deposit on booking, then they checked and said oh yes! (So there was a booking in our name after all! we were so fed up by then we just paid under protest and left. all in all it was an absolute farce. We both put all this info on their online feedback form, which promises to reply within 72 hrs. We have not heard anything back and it’s been 10 days now! We certainly would never recommend this place, especially Afternoon Tea. Appalling!"
