Opa Greek Yeeros: When will this reopen?

It's been "Closed for Vacation" for weeks, with no indication of a reopening date. Anyone know more?

Didn't seem to be doing great business. Same person owns Davis Sq Donuts on corner of Cutter and Summer. Donuts will not open per this Journal even though there is a costly sign for it!
No notions why.

I fear that it's not a coincidence that they went on an extended "vacation" around about the same time they announced that they were abandoning the Davis Sq Donuts project.

I heard through the "grapevine" 🍇 that the owner had a disagreement with the landlord and the place is not likely to reopen.

From earlier this month, Hidden Boston says some say it's closed for good, without official confirmation, per this link: http://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2016/09/opa-greek-yeeros-in-somervilles-davis.html (http://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2016/09/opa-greek-yeeros-in-somervilles-davis.html)

Can't confirm/deny other reports of landlord disputes, though.

I drove by today and noticed a crew of guys bringing various boxes into Opa, and when I came by a few hours later, they had put big decals in the windows with Greek-style lettering spelling out O P A, and were testing out the kitchen equipment and the decor. Looks to me like the restaurant has new management.

I would interested to know if this is new owners or new "management" hired/recruited from the owner of the property - I do not recall if he was involved or a partner of sorts

I didn't go in, but when I walked by at 5:30 they were flying their "Open" flag outside the store, the door was propped open, and there were a lot of people inside.
