An intimate local family ran restaurant in the heart of Oranjestad, fresh world-class seafood, prime steaks,
and unparalleled service in a vibrant, up-scale setting.

Opus experience wouldn't be possible without our local farmers and fisherman’s. Produce delivered daily keeps our menu fresh and connected to the land and ocean. A taste of Aruba infused with a Mediterranean culture in every bite. Depending what ingredients the ocean provides us, our chefs will create flavors inspired by our culture. Fresh fish brought directly to the restaurant where it is served whole or filleted and served within 24 hours. Wide variety of local fish for our guest to choose

    Fizzy our server was amazing. Food was mediocre and overpriced. Olive oil on the table tasted like canola oil. Our suggestion. No olive oil is better than horrible olive oil.

    Service was exceptional! The timing of service delivered definitely represents detailed training. The only flaw was after the entree was cleared, the busser should have crumbed the table. This is just a minor detail.
