Enjoyed dinner last night. My husband and I had two different salads, beetroot and leaves salad with cheese, followed by Halibut and Boef Bourguignon. All four dishes were very flavourful and the portion sizes were good. The service was attentive without being pushy. The only downside was the fact that the proposed tip options are calculated on the price after tax, not before tax. Post‑tax calculation quietly increases the dollar amount without changing the displayed percentage, and I don't like that. I always tip on the pre-tax amount. Just a watch out point for those who want to tip pre-tax.

Staff was great, french pasta is handmade and was absolutely delicious on both our plates, Short Rib Lasagna & Pappardelle. Crispy Brussel Sprouts were definitely crispy and delicious with pickled onions. The cocktails were great. We needed a good dinner our first night in town and Opaline delivered. Thank you.
