Striking the perfect balance between haute and hip, the plush Opia brings some welcome zing to Midtown’s mediocre dining scene. Whether you have a hankering for cocktails or fine cuisine (or both), Opia serves it up with Mediterranean flair. Start off the evening with a chilled Orange Blossom, made with vodka, crisp white wine and a splash of orange juice, and then move on to entrees such as the seared salmon with tabouleh and roasted cod with white beans. Opia’s fitting home is the hip Habitat Hotel, which draws a lively mix of solo travelers, families and suits. The roomy restaurant features a variety of spaces, from the high-ceilinged second-floor dining room to the dimly lit lounge area, accommodating both diners out for an intimate meal and those in a party mood. Soccer fans take note: The bar features World Cup and Champions League matches.
