What a pleasant surprise! This fresh, new, little, somewhat hidden Greek place took over where My Big Fat Greek Express used to be. They've done a nice remodel, opened and brightened the place up and, although I was the only one in the joint when I visited, it looks like it should be a friendly and inviting atmosphere.
The menu includes the usuals; appetizers ($5-15), salads ($9-15), wraps ($9-10) and pitas (~$8), and "Off The Grill" plates that include your choice of 2 sides ($10-16), all with your choice of chicken, pork, beef, lamb, shimp, and sandwiches/burgers ($10-12), etc. They have a full coffee bar with what look like reasonable prices, fruit smoothies, and Italian sodas, and a selection of breakfast paninis. There are about 6 beers on tap for $4.50 and 7 or so wines by the glass at $7, and a scrumptious looking list of desserts ranging from $4-$8.
My Chicken Souvlaki plate included 2 generous skewers of chicken that was flavorful, tender and juicy, fries, and rice that was tasty and well cooked, a pita bread and some sauces. Service was friendly from the one woman in the store, who was also clearing up to close, but still attentive, offered me water while I waited for my takeaway food, and took the time to tell me about their lunch special ($6 wraps & pitas from 11-3).
They also offer Happy Hour from 3-7pm with deals on apps, beer and wine.
My 3-star rating is for the food (quality, quantity, speed to produce) and service. The only reason they're not getting 5 stars from me is because I think their prices are a bit too high for the market. I think this may affect them, given their newness, lack of reputation, and somewhat obscure location. Munchies (my go-to place) is serving roughly the same fare for about 30% less, overall, and they're open till the wee hours.
So, I'll check out Opa Life again, and based on my first visit, recommend it, but probably not for a quick weeknight dinner except if you go during lunchtime.
