Good food

Opera, yet another offering from the KDK Group, (Red Light, Marche, Gioco) has opened in the rapidly gentrifying Wabash and Roosevelt area. In typical KDK style, Opera has lots of eye appeal. Unusual light fixtures, exotic silk drapes, a technicolor glass enclosed wine cellar, customized quilted chair backs, rich wall treatments and Asian screens make for a visual feast. Mini private "vaults" provide romantic tables for two or four (the rooms actually used to be movie reel storage vaults in the former warehouse), and the rest of the wide-open room provides lots of people watching opportunities.
