Opal Restaurant & Lounge

In the afternoons, you might have Opal all to yourself -- which means all the more offerings for you. The laundry list of specials includes two-for-one deals on nigiri and hand rolls, two-for-one hot sake, four-dollar martinis, three-dollar champagne, big Kirins for just $2.50 -- and the incongruous dollar Coronas. Don't ask why, just enjoy. With any luck, you'll be able to enjoy your food and drink on one of those long wrap-around couches. Fair warning, though: If you come at night looking for a quiet nightcap and a quick bite, Opal is not for you. By midnight, this place is likely to be hopping with club kids, night owls and the hungry hordes who just realized they forgot to eat dinner hours earlier.
