We had a wonderful experience at Opus! We were greeted right away. The staff was very attentive... especially our waiter Filipe. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and available for all our needs.

Went early for a post-thanksgiving family dinner with an infant and toddler. Server could not have been more attentive. Everyone liked their food. Special sushi roll was large enough for 2-3 to share. Fries are the best anywhere. Steak was dry aged prime with real beefy flavor. Salmon was moist with crisp skin. Even burger was huge and cooked right.

Quality dining. Sat at the bar. Frank behind the bar is a true pro. Prompt, efficient & friendly. Our drinks & food were on point and served spaciously where we weren't rushed, nor did we wait too long.
