We enjoyed some delightful dishes here and were very pleased with the service. This boutique restaurant offers a unique flavor profile, though it can be compared to George’s. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and we look forward to returning.

We rarely go out to eat fancy, but we decided to try Opus as it was my partner’s birthday.  My honest opinion about this place is that it’s okay.  The appetizers: fois gras, and the stracciatella were amazing.  The maple flavour and the apple slices in the fois gras just made the whole dish better.  However, we had run into issues with the mains.  We waited almost an hour-and-a-half for the mains.  I had ordered the Iberico pork, but it tasted bland and two cuts were provided; one was cooked “perfectly” (looked raw) and the other one was completely overcooked.   The tuna that they substituted for the pork was alright, just very peppery, and the mushrooms were bitter.  My partner ordered the sea-bass, and it was good.  I do understand that the restaurant was busy that night, and can chock it down to their system falling under pressure.  Our server (didn’t catch his name) was understanding and was very polite with us, so I’ll give them props for the customer service during the whole ordeal.  The crème brûle however was fantastic, and had a super rich and creamy texture with an amazing salted caramel taste.   The peaches for us weren’t necessary for the dessert, in our opinion.  Overall, I am giving Opus a 3 star rating, as the appetizers and desserts were amazing, but the long wait time and subpar main dish were not really acceptable for a restaurant of its class.   I do not think we will return, but we thank the staff for being understanding and communicating as best as they could.

The food at Opus Restaurant is rather mediocre. Considering the price, the quality falls short in various aspects, from presentation to flavor. It lacks the excellence found in its competitors. Nevertheless, the service is commendable, and I had a pleasant dining experience. If you seek complexity in flavors and top-notch presentation, I recommend exploring other dining options.

Great ambience and very romantic atmosphere. Amazing experience at Opus Restaurant. The service was impeccable! Staff was very polite and highly attentive. Our server was very pleasant, and definitely very knowledgable about the menu as he was explaining new special items they had. They have an extremely extensive wine list. Their wine selection was absolutely impressive.  It took us some time to choose. If you are a wine lover, this place is for you. Every single dish was so carefully crafted and full of flavours that blended together graciously. The presentation for each dish was flawless! The tenderloin especially was very juicy and perfectly done. The seared foie gras simply melted in your mouth and the beef tartar was just amazing good. We tried 4 different desserts and they all tasted really delicious and exquisite. Opus is definitely surpassed my expectations. Highly recommend to family & friends.
