Part of Restaurants by Danilo Simic and Colin McClimans

Opal is a Coastal American Restaurant from the team at Nina May. We are welcoming neighborhood restaurant emphasizing seasonality and sustainability through vegetable-forward dishes and a focused selection of fish and meat sourced from the American coastline.

Seafood will be the focus, with an emphasis on seasonal finds like Atlantic halibut or Florida red snapper. Diners can expect a variety of preparations from the wood-fired, open kitchen—snacks, share plates, mains, sides, and homemade breads and pastries. There will also be plenty of vegetable-focused plates, and meat preparations that take inspiration from the coast.
