Gallons of purple and futuristic glass booths upstairs make Opera a refreshing alternative to the tried and stale décor formulas. The staff are tremendously friendly to the point that they'll give you directions to another bar even if you don't buy a drink. Now that's service. The music is cool and laid-back, complementing the equally sophisticated back room and its rather astonishing chandelier. As well as an impressive array of cocktails, eats are in focus with a short but growing menu that guided our eye and gilded our sweet tooth with its rich desserts.
