Opa was one the hottest new restaurant openings of 2011. Keenly placed just off the bustling 13th Street strip near
Barbuzzo,
Zavino,
Sampan, and
El Vez, Opa hit a jackpot on location, price
and food.
We spent several days in Greece on our honeymoon, where we developed not only a love for Greek food but also for the atmosphere of the restaurants. The open air, earth tones and casual-but-chic feel in Santorini, Crete and Corfu were just as memorable as the great food.
Opa stirs up those memories with very large, open front windows leading into an uber-trendy, but natural setting. The bar area and one side wall are covered with horizontal birch branches, and then the rest of the small(ish) interior is covered with a blue ceiling, natural stone columns and funky hanging lights.
