Minus two stars for overpriced food that did not necessarily impress.  Three stars for some unique dishes that DID impress and really, really nice atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend sticking to the smaller dishes here, as they were the best part of the meal.  The meat/cheese plate, fried goat cheese appetizer, and desserts were all really good.  My favorite by far was the olive oil/sea salt/chocolate chip ice cream.  That addictive sweet-n-salty combo is a hormonal woman's dream for sure (yup, that would be me!) but my boyfriend also approved!  (He also liked the amaretto ice cream). The much-pricier main dishes were just as small as the "small plates" and a LOT less impressive.  My tiny portion of lamb was overcooked, tough, and chewy, accompanied by cold, semi-cooked veggies spritzed with lemon juice.  Bleh.  My boyfriend's risotto was tasty, certainly, but way overpriced for what seemed to be a pretty plain dish (basic cheesy risotto with some peas mixed in). If we had skipped the entrees and stuck to the small plates, I guarantee this would have been a 5 star review.  (Ignorance is bliss!)  Unfortunately the most expensive part of the meal turned out to be the most lackluster, but the rest of the menu really is worth checking out.  Don't skip that ice cream!

** - Update - ** So I went here for Ferry Corsten, which some of you may know is a progressive trance DJ.  Naturally much of the clientele there are fans of techno and dancing, in that order.  Opera decided to capitalize on this and wanted $6 for a bottle of water.  At first I assumed that it was so expensive because it was bottled from Jesus' spit, so I checked the label but it didn't say 'Jesusfina' or 'Christwater'... so I told them no thanks, I'll just have tap. So they tell me that they aren't allowed to serve tap water (because they are pricks) so I order a proper drink, down it, then proceed to go to the bathroom to fill it up.  The attendant told me I couldn't fill it up in the bathroom, so naturally I ignored and did it anyway. This place might actually be trying to kill me; hence the 1 star.  Enter at your own peril.  Or just hydrate beforehand.  Like, for the whole night. **************** Alright so first off I'm not going to give you a sing song about how much better this club was when it was owned and operated as Eleven50.  Clearly you've already seen plenty of reviews with that little gem in it.  Times change; owners move on; clubs revamp. So, here's the real crux of the problem.  Opera is located 650 miles north of it's proper destination: Miami.  It attempts to fill a niche that has no need of filling. Last time I checked Atlanta was the kind of city where anyone with any sense about them wouldn't be bothered to pay a cover.  We have various options to avoid it; guest list, tip the doorman/woman, or just bring a gaggle of women. In either case, Opera fails by attempting to make appearances look more fantastic than the actual experience.  By going into Opera you are in fact being duped.  See the long line outside waiting to get in?  It isn't because the club is a mecca of fun, with half naked people sweating it out to a proper dance mix.  It's actually because they hold the line past 10:30 to prevent people getting in on the guest list, and when you get in you realize it's mostly empty and none of the other areas but the main dance floor are open. In fact the upstairs is now exclusively VIP, and take it from me, it's not all that cool.  Even when it's free.  The bathroom is a total pain to get into, with long lines, and even if you're in VIP there is a section that is so exclusive even your shiny pink wristband won't get you in... For those who are big into analogies, it's like ponying up for a Ferrari and then realizing you've just bought a FIAT, only it's too late to take it back. Trust me on this one; save your $20 for drinks at Cosmo/Lava. **- Also I gave it two stars instead of one because I've gotten in free the last few times thanks to some shenanigans and when you don't pay money it's slightly better.  Also I flipped a coin and I lost.

After a fun couple of other bars, our group of ten was looking for a place to party but without paying a cover, this being a Saturday night. We stumbled over to Vertigo and made it in. Some tequila shots later, it's blurry but people are dancing. Or at least we are. Or at least I am. So I kind of like that Vertigo is three bars in one, in the sense that there's a regular bar area, then this mini dance floor area, and then an outside patio of sorts for smokers or to enjoy the night air. I know that we had a good time here, but I'm suspecting it had more to do with the company than the rest of the patrons, who were mostly post college girls and the guys ogling them. If I was 23 and wanted to meet someone for the night, I could see how Vertigo could fit that bill. Bono said it best: I'm at a place called Vertigo (donde estas?). I can't stand the beats. I'm asking for the cheque. The girl with crimson nails Has Jesus 'round her neck. Turn it up loud, Captain!
