This is one of our favorite local spots! The atmosphere, service, and cocktail options are second to none! Kat was the best server and the fact that the menu can be made gluten free is a HUGE plus! Get the pimento cheese, you won’t regret it!

I loved sitting in the covered patio. The good was good but the service made sure my food was vegan and gluten-free.

Perfectly relaxing atmosphere, food was so good. I had the chicken piccata wine baked broccoli. You can totally eat lo carb and gluten free on the menu , not feeling like you missed out on anything yummy. The service was perfect. What more could you ask for ? This was my first visit but I will be back. I Gota try that expresso martini.

As a 100% Portuguese-American, I was very surprised to find a Portuguese restaurant in Chattanooga because there isn't much of a Portuguese population in TN. However, I am always up for eating at Portuguese restaurants since they're hard to come by. I was hesitant to how good the food would be, but this little joint did not disappoint! We had the bacalhau fritters which if not done right, can be soggy and greasy, but they're prepared to perfection! My husband gobbled them all up. If octopus is on the menu, I'll order it...and it was one of the best I've had since Greece. Perfectly grilled with no chewy weird texture, and the olive oil, garlic and pepper flakes it sat on made the entire dish. I asked for bread to soak up the olive oil - I didn't care about my gluten allergy! My husband had the special - rabbit paella, which he devoured, and I loved as well. The service was great; the chef came by to say hello and provided me with the name of the olive oil, and the Portuguese wine recommended was perfect. I finished the night off with the Portuguese Espresso which has port wine and whipped cream on top. So stuffed and content - walked out of there with a huge smile on my face, with much pride of the delicious meal prepared by the Portuguese!

This restaurant and the entire experience was amazing! We weren’t sure what to expect after we wandered into OPA thinking it was a full menu selection restaurant. The owner then greeted us enthusiastically and told us there was no menu, but instead a daily feature served. My husband nervously explained that I had an allergy to gluten and couldn’t ingest any flour or I’d get very sick. He assured us he could modify the courses for a meal to suit my sans flour needs. Our dishes were delicious, and he served us two appetizers after we initially explained I couldn’t eat the first. Oh, and we loved the pomegranate tea (even my 3-year old)! Our family will definitely be back, and I highly recommend this restaurant to others!
