Opal is a casual, chef-driven, fine-dining restaurant using locally focused products that offers wood-fired grilled foods, craft cocktails, and a curated wine menu. The menu, developed by the company’s culinary director Chef Eric Polhamus, features contemporary American dishes. The kitchen is lead by Chef de Cuisine Craig Lewis, and day-to-day operations are lead by Opal General Manager and long-time industry expert Jessica Williams.
Opal is the third restaurant installment in the portfolio of Bill and Morgan Whitlow. Opals are known to be the stone that represents justice, harmony, protection, love and passion. Just like the gemstone, Opal Rooftop Restaurant & Bar is different from every angle you approach it from. Patrons will enjoy a 360-degree backdrop of downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky or dine indoors as the flames from the unique Grillworks grill reflect off of the bar.
