Yes, it can definitely get pricey, but it’s worth it (in my opinion). I’d recommend maybe saving Opa for a special occasion or “date night.”

I was actually told to avoid this place by two separate people because of the $25/person minimum. Apparently they both ate here thinking they could get by with ordering off of the lower end of the menu, then ended up with a much higher bill…

@Jenna Papakalos What a great story! I can definitely understand why you have an attachment to Opa.

Taverna Opa and I have a history. I met my husband at the original one in Hollywood Beach, FL. I went in for food and came out with a mate for life! Darn that ouzo!

Taverna Opa is a right of passage in my family. Crazy times! Dancing on tables is a part of the culture. Greeks are certainly different!

It’s worth the trip out there. The stories and memories you will have of going to Taverna Opa will not be paralleled.

@Claudia LOL at the "dreaded area." I would encourage you to visit at least once, to see what it's like. And let us hear about your experience, too!

This looks like so much fun!!! I will definitely check it out soon. You’re right about the “dreaded area”. I guess once in a while it’s ok to make an exception

@klynn You could probably park at one of the nearby hotels, and just walk…truthfully! But you didn’t hear that from me.

@Carri Great tip on the Universal cut. I should’ve included that recommendation — it’s the route I always take.

I loved Taverna Opa and this makes me want to go back. For locals, you may want to come in by Universal Blvd. which runs parallel to I-Drive behind the Convention Center. You avoid a lot of traffic and you can access the Pointe Orlando garage from Universal Blvd. as well.

Sounds like it could be worth the haul out to Pointe Orlando, but you’re right, their parking sucks!
