The 17-year-run of the Opa! Restaurant Group, which brought Greek skewers and salads to more than half a dozen cities in the Bay Area, is coming to a close.

The company has filed to liquidate its assets in a move that would trigger a shutdown of all of the chain’s remaining restaurants in the South Bay, according to several bankruptcy court filings.

The Opa! dining company filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, seeking a court-supervised liquidation of its assets, documents filed Sept. 19 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court show.

The restaurants that filed for Chapter 7 — Campbell, Morgan Hill and Santa Clara — have closed. In addition, Opa Signature Foods also filed to liquidate its assets through a bankruptcy proceeding.

“It is desirable and in the best interests of the company, its creditors, and other parties in interest that a petition be filed by the company seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 7,” Molly Adams, chief executive officer of Opa Restaurant Group, stated in court papers for the bankruptcy filing.

No further statement was issued by the company.

In early 2025, Opa! closed its Willow Glen restaurant without warning.

The Opa! group’s long run began in 2008 in that San Jose neighborhood, with a smaller restaurant on Lincoln Avenue that regularly drew crowds for its comfort menu of Greek lamb chops, skewers, flatbreads, salads, dips and appetizers.

Founder Angelo Heropoulos expanded to downtown Los Gatos — another location with long lines — and to Campbell. In 2014, having outgrown the small Willow Glen spot, Opa! moved into the large space at Lincoln Avenue and Willow Street formerly occupied by Lou’s Village.

Opa! Group partner-turned-current-CEO Adams took over when Heropoulos moved on to other ventures, opening the Hero Ranch Kitchen and Flowers restaurants in Saratoga

In 2019, the Opa! Los Gatos closed but the group announced plans to open in Morgan Hill and Downtown San Jose.

The early years of the pandemic saw six Opa! locations offering curbside pickup and delivery of meals: Willow Glen, Los Altos, Santa Clara, Campbell, Walnut Creek and Morgan Hill.

In the years since then, the Los Altos, Walnut Creek and short-lived downtown San Jose restaurants also were forced to close, which left a core of four locations until earlier this year, and then three after the Willow Glen closure.
