Opia is open seven days a week, serving Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and a lounge fare. After nine years of wining and dining Manhattan's Midtown-East crowd, owners Frederick Lesort and Antoine Blech have given Opia Restaurant and Lounge (130 East 57th St, New York, NY 10022) a complete makeover, spearheaded by leading designer Jordan Mozer.

Now with new design elements including an expanded terrace overlooking the bustling street where up to eight guests per terrace can dine al fresco, an original hand-blown glass sculpture by Mozer, and a redesigned banquet area with accommodations for up to 400 people, Opia will continue its long-standing presence on this busy corner of Lexington Avenue.

The newly renovated Opia will still provide the convivial and popular lounge atmosphere with live international music its become known for, while also featuring a redefined menu by new executive chef, Ted Pryor.

With a modern French focus, Pryor's menu will also sustain popular options like the "Sushi Corner" portion of the menu, which has been incredibly popular among Opia's broad clientele consisting of Midtown business people, Upper East Siders, tourists and shoppers strolling down from 5th Avenue, Bloomingdales, and the like.

"Opia has been a wonderful constant in Manhattan's lounge and dining scene and we thought such a valued destination was worthy of a glamorous makeover," says Lesort. "Our new expanded terrace verlooks the street, allowing customers to enjoy a drink, snack or meal whilst taking in the view".

Reservations can be made by calling (212) 688-3939, or online. OPIA seats 200 and has a flexible floor plan making it ideal for special events large and small.
