Opera

Opera has an awesome deal: on Sundays and Tuesday, you can choose any appetizer, any entree, and any dessert for $25!! It basically comes out to a free appetizer and dessert since many of the entrees are around $20-25 bucks. From the looks of the crowd, we aren’t the only ones that know about it.

The food here is very tasty, creative, and fresh. It’s basically asian fusion, but done much better than others I’ve tried. Definitely don’t expect to find standard Chinese fare here. The dishes are large, well-presented and full of all kinds of new flavors. I really enjoy trying different things here because I’m curious as to how they’re going to spice up an otherwise normal sounding dish.

The ambience is very trendy. There’s plenty of colors and decorations that complement the different flavors of the food.

If you’re looking for a nice restaurant on a Sunday or Tuesday, make it a night at the Opera.

So I was a little nervous about Opera since I am always very hesitant about trying pan-asian types of restaurants but what attracted me to try Opera was the fact that they are not your regular run of the mill chinese restaurant. They take a traditional asian dish but they add the flair, ingredients, and presentation of contemporary american dishes. It combines the best of both worlds! I would recommend coming to Opera for the $30 pre-fix menu where for just $30 you choose an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. It’s a great deal considering that just ordering an entree can get you close to $30 already. My only complaint was that some of the dishes came out lukewarm.

just like going to the opera can leave a dent in the wallet, this place is $$$$. it’s probably the one reason that might keep me from returning. the food, however, is excellent and being fusion, different & fun. whether or not the price is justified is diner-dependent. opera is trendy & fancy, but unique. if you’re in an adventurous asian mood, with no cares about $$$, give opera a try.
