Reviews L'opossum

Outstanding food, service, and especially atmosphere, what a unique venue! Plenty of fun cocktails to choose from, maybe not the best we've had, but very good. French onion dip and fall salad were a fantastic was to start things off, and entrees of crab cakes, "Swank Bank" lobster mac and cheese, and rabbit special were all delicious. Awesome dessert options as well, especially loved the taste and presentation of the Swashbuckling Bundt Pirate.

This place rocks! Just went for a friend's birthday and it was my first time there. The drinks and dishes all have kooky names and surprising combos of ingredients, but all delicious! Service was friendly and knowledgeable. I loved how the restaurant was decorated and the music too. Would highly recommend for a special event, fine dining experience or just for fun and good food!

Had dinner with my husband here last night and probably had one of the best dinners we've ever had. The atmosphere is dimly lit, romantic and cozy. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and food was out of this world. Forewarning, it is on the pricey side but well worth every penny.

Fine dining at its most mediocre. Let me start by saying, nothing was bad... Aside from the overly pretensious attitude from every employee I interacted with. Even the entree names were pretensious. I guess I was expecting a less serious, and more comedic take on French dining based on the name alone. My mistake. Anyway, I'll get on to review the food. 4/5 Again. It was good, but not outstanding by any means. I got the "Beef Swellington". Marginally overcooked and improperly barked. The port reduction was not reduced, far too runny. The "fascinator" was also lack luster - on the dry side and a tad bland. The vegetables were cooked and seasoned nicely though. Due to my disappointment, I did not order dessert. The service 3/5 was mostly attentive, but I really felt like the employees had something to prove. Again, everyone aired on the side of arrogance. I witnessed people without reservations be turned away despite seemingly ample waitstaff and open tables which were never filled. One business man was turned away even though there were 2 open seats at the bar. He looked very frustrated, I felt bad. I wish I could have told him it wasn't really worth it. The atmosphere 4/5 exemplified the eclectic. I love eclecticism, and it wasn't offensive, but it was a little strange for my liking. This is the only place they played with the humor implied by their name, and at best it kinda worked. Very dark, and did not even have over the table dim spotlighting. You can't really see what you're eating. I had to wait until I got home to see what my entree looked like because my cameras low light setting was the only way to make it out. The table was also a little sticky. I know this review was a little tough, but I simply wasn't impressed and did not think it lived up to it's current rating of 4.7 on google. I found it over hyped, and mediocre. A trendy place which is currently having it's moment in the limelight. A far cry from a institution.

Outstanding. Intimate and cozy restaurant in old corner home very knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Food truly some of the very best we have ever enjoyed. We had escargot, oysters, crab cakes and scallops. We took a special bottle of wine to celebrate our 25th anniversary so we did not review the wine list but a glass of syrah the manager brought me was very good. Highly recommended!
