Exquisite Greek Dining: Exceptional Service Awaits

Dining at OPSO in the heart of Marylebone was an intriguing foray into what high-end Greek dining could offer. Tucked away amidst trendy streets, OPSO blends modern-twist culinary expertise with rustic Greek charm. From the get-go, you're met with a warm atmosphere, uplifted by charismatic staff like Angela and Seirios who ensure your dining experience is as hospitable as it is gourmet. Much like the moussaka, soft chicken, and fabled lamb shank that graced our table, each dish oozes authenticity spun with contemporary flair. While some might wince at decorative descriptions framing CEPs and Kalamata olives as revolutionary to the Greek food scene, there's comfort knowing these dishes stick to their roots, interpreted in wonderfully unique ways.

Admittedly, OPSO leans heavily towards the pricier haven. Expect to pocket out a fair sum: £53 for lamb and perhaps around £200 for a lavish brunch for four, minus the bubbly. Yet, given its central location and daring craft in possibly redefining Greek cuisine in London, OPSO has made a striking mark. Each corner, from its cellar concealed below street level to airy outdoor nooks shielded with gleaming heaters, is designed to envelop you in an intimate Greek gathering. Whether it's the enthusiastic breakdown of ingredients to tailor dietary needs or thrilling nudges towards baked feta in honey – an unarguable crowd pleaser – OPSO marries passion with precise service. It's a rich narrative unraveling atop marble tables, where you yield to temptations because the hellish price tag once inside begins to pale against the grandeur of flavors exploring gentle tangines and robust spices unrivaled by other Greek ethos eateries around town. — Milo Tastemaker
