Opa’s Big Fat Greek Tasting

Ever the innovator, restaurateur Alexx Antaeus and his business partner Orlease King now offer patrons a myriad of small plates between the hours of 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm, Monday to Friday, at their award-winning establishment Opa! They’ve called the concept My Big Fat Greek Tasting.

What’s on the menu? “Lots!” shared Antaeus Monday afternoon as he readied to receive patrons. “A variation between the familiar and the not-so-familiar — balls of salt fish to grilled octopus… After almost three successful years of operation there are still a lot of people in Jamaica who have not experienced our delicious food,“ he explained. “With my Big Fat Greek Tasting we are encouraging these individuals to give Opa! a try. You can’t go wrong with $500 plates and $500 glasses of Beringer Classic wines — Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Pink Moscato and $500 Tito’s vodka cocktails. We also want to create an after-work, happy hour environment for patrons to relax by our waterfall or get excited watching the Olympics.”

There’s not much else to add really, save that multi-award winning caterer Lorraine Fung who consulted on the project was naturally pleased with the look, taste and feel of the menu offerings.

Thursday Life was first in line and suggests you enjoy Opa’s Happy Hour with at least four friends, each prepared to order a few of the not-so-familiar.
