My Big Fat Greek...

My gals and I checked out Opa last night for a few cocktails and some bday celebrating, and let me just say,  I am loving it!  The location/decor/crowd make it a perfect place to grab a drink any night of the week.  The cocktails, while they are tasty, are a tad pricey at around $11 a glass, but they also offer a great beer and wine menu as well at a more moderate price.  The food, oh my...the delicious smells wafting from the plates alone was enough to fill me up.  And, the food menu, despite the cocktail list, was surprisingly reasonable in price.  The bartenders were super friendly/attentive/talkative, and the wrap-around bar is just right for mingling with your favorite company or making new company.  Lively/busy/bright/sexy, the interior space was fabulous and presented just the right amount of Mediterranean flair without going over the top.  It is safe to say that Opa will be a sure, go-to spot for food/drinks, especially with my impending move to the neighborhood!  Opa!
