    What a lovely restaurant! The staff are friendly, yet subtle. The food was beautiful. The restaurant was busy, buzzing but still quiet enough to hold a full intimate conversation. We can't thank you enough for the perfect start to a lovely evening.

    Faultless service, relaxed ambience and top quality food served. A very enjoyable meal for 4. We all had different starters, main and desserts…what a choice! All tasty and beautifully presented. First time visitors but will definitely eat at The Oppo again in the future. Five stars!!

    We had a lovely meal at The Opposition before heading to the theatre. £27.50 for 3 courses seems to be the standard along Sheep Street but here the choices were good and the food excellent.

    Food overall was lovely. However, quite a gap between starter and main. All the theatre goers had left and we just waited. We were seated in the back room area which was cold so suggest anyone going in winter months to ask for the front of the venue. We had prebooked a table for a birthday but unfortunately no mention was made or request for a nice table. Yes would go again only if seated in the nicer area.
