The Opera House

It was a wonderful surprise to find this restaurant in a small town that we were just passing through. Beautiful decor, tasteful music, attentive waitress and owner, very clean and I would say upscale. It is categorized as a bistro but I think it's a mistake; more like fine dining, especially considering the type of dishes, presentation and prices. The food was delicious and even though the waitress kept coming back to tell us that they didnt have certain ingredients, we were left satisfied. My two girls loved playing with the 5-6 different kinds of silverware and creatively folded napkins. I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion. Quality, healthy food is difficult to come by in this area.

This is a great place. I recommend it for lunch, dinner, and even just to get a coffee and relax. It has great decor and an inviting vibe. The food is fabulous. Chef Jon knows what he's doing, and consistently offers delicious renditions of of classic dishes plus less common and more interesting dishes that you can't find anywhere else in the area. He and his staff are also very friendly and helpful, and do a great job making you feel welcome and taken care of. Finally, the value is ridiculous... the specials ($5 lunch every weekday, $8 8oz steak night, etc.) can't be beaten and even the normal meals would be twice as expensive or more in Pittsburgh (or any city). You should absolutely go to Opera House Cafe!!!

Never been to Brookville before and thought this was such a lovely little place tucked in the middle of nowhere. My boyfriend had the scallops and I had the crab cakes. Top notch. Great wine and beer selection as well. Owner came by and chatted which was a nice gesture. Reason for 4 and not 5? It took quite a while for us to get our meals and our salads came with the meal instead of before. I don't even like scallops or mushrooms and that dish was amazing. Will definitely try again when we visit my boyfriend's parents.

My wife and I ate here last week, during opening night dinner under new ownership. I had the Dry Aged Strip and she had the crab cakes. Both of us were blown-away. I had never ordered a dry aged cut of meat before, but it was thick cut, juicy, and had fuller flavor than regular steak; the crab cakes had far more meat than expected, and were still crispy. These dishes were somewhat pricier, but they were well worth it. We had the opportunity to meet the new owners, and they were very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It was quiet when we were there, but with regular hours and quality food, things will be picking up soon, i'm sure. Will definitely be our new spot!
