Opera Cafe Lounge

Opera Cafe & Lounge serves Turkish-Mediterranean cooking from breakfast through dinner, with brunch in between. Diners order grilled dishes such as the salmon shish, fried calf's liver and slow-cooked lamb shank, along with hummus, falafel, gyros and kebabs. The bar pours crafted cocktails and an extensive wine selection, and the kitchen also makes coffee drinks, eggs and baklava.

The Staten Island location is on Hylan Boulevard. The restaurant takes takeout and delivery orders and sells gift cards. Its catering team handles private events and parties, from small gatherings to larger celebrations. A rewards program gives points for each visit, and the restaurant is open late on Friday and Saturday nights.
