To get to the point, this place is a hidden gem in Waterville. I came here for lunch last week…read morewhen I was in town to visit the art museum. I selected Opa because of the other great reviews and I like Mediterranean food. I was greeted with a warm welcome as soon as I came in and sat at the bar. I initially got a Greek coffee which was made to order, hot and delicious. Ava, the bartender, was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. I couldn't have asked for more. I ordered the falafel dish and was quickly brought a plate of warm bread and olives in oil. Both were outstanding! Looking over the menu, I noticed they had a few Greek wines so I asked Ava about one interesting one that had hints of fig and tobacco. She immediately poured me a sample to taste and it was delicious so I got a glass. My meal came and it too was really outstanding. Every bite was delicious. To add to my experience, Ava put the Bob Ross channel on the TV above the bar so I got my art experience too. Later, the chef came out and talked to me for a while about travelling to Greece to really study the cuisine. He was clearly continuing to immerse himself in the culture to further perfect his already highly skilled craft. I would highly recommend Opa. What a wonderful total experience.

We first tried this place 2 yrs ago- it was good food. When I walked in I kept asking for a menu. I…read moreasked the bartender- a guy - another girl -- nothing. Then I reasked the bar tender and she was too busy - asked a girl again - never came back. Finally a customer grabbed one and handed it to me . We tried it yesterday- absolutely awful - sorry but -- the meat was super fatty - couldn't chew it - show it to my GREEK friend from Astoria Queens cause she couldn't understand- she agreed- way too fatty -- We dumped it - couldn't chew it. We also ordered spanakopita. We opened it up tonight -- Triangle shaped individual with JUST spinach -- the feta cheese was spread out UNDER these triangle spinach thing (4) super tiny like appetizers- not a meal - no salad either like really? This was a dinner? so very very upset over this food. You will say to me it's was Mothers Day - 9 tables isn't very busy for Mother's Day -- a regular dinner crowd. We expected when we drive 1 hr to this restaurant get great food at a place that almost has 5 stars. I can understand we aren't in Astoria Queens NY but come on - this wasn't hard at all. I waited a whole year to drive back & I really wanted to give a great review but the food was just awful. Very are very disappointed . . .

The service is super friendly and the food very fresh and tasty. There are the usual Greek dishes including expected vegitarian choices like falafel, spanakopita, dolmathes, baklava as well as daily fresh made broccoli slaw and fresh made vidalia onion rings (all homemade). Of course there is a lot of meat, too, carved from large spits. Nice outdoor picnic table seating, dog friendly of course. With the outdoor fired pizza a block away, the BBQ joint across the street and the duck restaurant, the Village may be becoming a food destination. I just wish the hours were a bit longer into the evening.

This was parked at Sugarloaf in the month of February. I ordered a beef and lamb gyro and it wasn't…read moreeven a gyro. It had a handful of pieces of beef and tons of lettuce and tomatoes slathered with some thick paste (supposed to be tzaziki.) One of the worse beef wraps that I've ever had. I don't think they should call it a gyro because it's not. False advertisement. A gyro should contain gyro meat. Maybe people don't realize a gyro is not just a pita bread stuffed with any kind of meat.

The food, unfortunately, was inconsistent: 1. Spreads: tzatziki and htipiti were fantastic; fava was good but a clear third place. I'd buy the first two to go if I could. 5/5 2. Octopus: a bit small but well-cooked and not at all chewy. Would order again. 4/5 3. Squash fritters: these were just bad; lukewarm and what little flavor there was was unappealing. 1/5 4. Lentil soup: extremely bland; badly needed more seasoning. 2/5 5. Sesame crusted feta: this had potential, but was let down by being extremely salty. 3/5 6. Pastitsio (greek pasta): pasta itself seemed a bit plain, but the bechamel was very well done; I'd order this again. 4/5 7. Baklava: solid -- pretty much what I was expecting from a Greek place. 4/5 No complaints about service. We aren't wine drinkers so we can't comment on the drink menu.

For starters, the staff could not be nicer! Also, we love the etiquette sign on the front door that clearly states their cell phone and child policy. It was so nice to relax at breakfast without screaming children and people on their phones. With regards to the food, the asparagus omelette was the best omelette my MIL has ever eaten! Light and fluffy and absolutely delicious! The order of 3 pancakes are way too much for one person! One pancake is plenty. Cons- there was inconsistency with the hash browns. The first day I ordered them there were no onions which was great, but some of the potatoes were warm and others were ice cold. Because they didn't have onions on the first day I order them again on day two and this time they had onions which I cannot eat so this inconsistency wasn't good for me or my stomach. Also, as someone who can't eat gluten and doesn't eat eggs, I was a little disappointed by the limited gluten-free options. That said, the rest of my group was very happy with their meals!

You HAVE to try their homemade hummus plate--it's that good! If I could, I'd eat four of them (if…read moremy stomach and wallet allowed it). But seriously, if you're a hummus fan, do yourself a favor and order it. My wife and I visited for an employee outing, and we were impressed. The staff was friendly and efficient, quickly taking and delivering drink orders. Our group ordered several appetizers, all of which arrived in a reasonable time. I sampled a few chicken wings, but I mainly focused on my pita and hummus plate--and I'm glad I did! Having spent time in the Middle East, I know what freshly made hummus tastes like, and this did not disappoint. It was served with carrots, Greek black olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a drizzle of Greek olive oil seasoned with pepper. The pepper-infused olive oil added a whole new depth of flavor--something I'd never had before. After one bite, my wife and a few of her coworkers instantly regretted not ordering it themselves. Being the generous guy I am, I shared a little... but not too much! The prices were reasonable, and the quality matched what you'd expect from a great Greek restaurant. I'd love to go back and explore more of the menu, though due to dietary restrictions, I won't be able to indulge in the pizza that everyone raves about. But if it's anything like the hummus, I can only imagine how good it must be!

I ordered a burger and fries to go and my son was very disappointed as well. He didn't even eat it. This is probably a one and done for me. I really wanted it to be better than it is.

We always make a reservation but they do reserve some seats at the bar for walk-ins. On our last visit, I started with the stuffed zucchini blossoms. Not to brag, but I once won a cooking contest in NYC for "best appetizer" with my own stuffed zucchini blossoms, so I order them whenever I see them on a menu. These were better than mine. The secret was the breading: chick pea flour instead of the cornmeal I always use. Then I enjoyed the fresh, local, rare tuna--perfect! My husband had an elaborate beet salad, then steak. He was very happy. Service is friendly and professional, with thoughtful recommendations for wine pairings. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have been celebrating as many anniversaries as we can at Primo. With the exception of…read more2020 and 2025 we haven't missed a year. However. This year made us realize that this is our last year. It was our 25th and we were looking forward to it. It started with the hostess who was annoyed that we showed up 7 minutes early for our reservation and told us they were running on time and to take a walk in the garden and come back at the exact time of our reservation. Which we did. We were seated by the manager who seemed impatient. He handed us the menus and walked off. A detail I didn't consider until I noticed that the other manger handed the menus and went over some drink specials and menu specials. Our server was nice in the beginning although seemingly distracted. We found out a little later they had a wedding party upstairs and the kitchen was behind. We didn't mind because we were there for the experience as much as the food. However as the night rolled on and things took longer and longer, the staff seemed more and more annoyed with us for ordering our meal. By the end of the meal, our server asked if we wanted a cheese or dessert service and seemed very annoyed when we said yes. At this point we were 2 1/2 hours in and they wanted us out. However, we were still there because it had taken so long for our service and food. In the end we split a strawberry shortcake, which was very good, I had a coffee, and we got out of there. They wanted us out and we didn't want to stay any more. What is sad is we have been celebrating our anniversary for 20 years there as often as we can and this, our 25th was the worse experience we have ever had and we won't return. It broke our hearts.
