A rare blend of quiet sophistication and delicate charm. This is a place where you can genuinely relax and focus, making it a perfect spot for both intimate dinners and high-level professional meetings. The cocktail program here is exceptional; my drink was perfectly balanced and inventive. For starters, the oyster of the day/week was incredibly fresh, followed by one of the most amazing steaks I've had recently. While the food was certainly delicious and refined, it was the hospitality that elevated the entire evening to another level. Every single person who served us was not just professional, but genuinely warm, making us feel like long-time regulars. This kind of attentive, yet professional, service is truly next-level. If you are looking to impress a client or colleague and ensure a productive, refined meeting, this is the venue. Highly, highly recommended. read more

Glad to finally have a delicious meal with good service in Yorkville We had: Fresh oysters mignette: These were plump but fresh and the accompaniments were basic but complemented it well. I didn't even have to ask for tabasco as the waiter asked me for it first Seared foie gras and maple apples with current puree: This was divine! The seared part had a slight crunch but the inside was smooth, rich and buttery. The apple added sweetness and texture as well. Beef tartare with foie gras: This was the first time having tartare with foie gras pate and I wish it was done more. It adds an extra layer of richness that was a good complement Rack of lamb: The lamb was perfectly medium rare, and I loved the accompaniments. I always saw fiddleheads at the grocer but never was brave enough to make it. I love the crunch and texture and light flavor Iberico pork chop: This was pretty good, the pork was tender but I couldn't really taste the iberico in it (perhaps i'm used to the nutty taste), the creamed spinach accompaniment was pretty good too Nutella beignets with cinnamon ice cream: This was so good! The beignets were filled with nutella and the cinnamon ice cream was a great complement Honey creme brulee with lemon curd and cream cheese: This was like a big slice of creme brulee lol, much bigger portion than many I've had. I couldn't really taste the lemon though The wine list consisted of an entire textbook categorized by region. It was super in depth and the Chianti we got was delicious and reasonably priced. I can't say the same for some other vintages that I saw for like 60k though definitely recommend for an intimate date night! read more

A. Significant birthday dinner for a friend. Once again, Opus killed it. Friendly and attentive staff and food, again delicious. No particular recommendations. All was first class. The main dining room is tastefully finished and exudes a quiet, subtle style. Not inexpensive. You pay for what you get. Look forward to next time. read more

Opus' high-end dining experience is only accentuated by its vast wine cellar with over 2,500 labels. The underground wine cellar houses one of the most comprehensive wine collections in the country. read more

A very pleasant and nice restaurant for fine dining. The restaurant itself has a very pleasant and romantic atmosphere which makes it a nice choice if you're looking to take that special someone for dinner ;) Coming in, we were greeted by the host who took our jackets for us, and seated inside by the staff right after. Our server was very pleasant, and definitely very knowledgable about the menu as he was explaining new special items they had and also on any food items we asked about. He made good recommendations as I was looking for a sweeter drink and he offered this martini that definitely hit the spot. We were still unsure of our order but he was okay with coming back every few minutes to ensure we were ready. Their dinner menu as a good selection of appetizers, and main courses that will even suit vegetarians. What they're also really known for is the selection of wine (it's a whole book)! For our appetizers, i really enjoyed the seared foie gras as it came in a sweet apple sauce that perfect blended together. I ordered one of the specials which was red deer meat (which was also my first time trying), and it was quite pleasant. Our server recommended it to be medium rare which I was sceptical at first since I usually order medium, but it turned out he was right! Personally, I thought the portions were just right where you would feel full but not stuffed, so I wouldn't have any complaints. We wanted photos taken and Tasha/ another server helped us take the best photos possible which also made the experience and night even better. Thank you for a lovely night! read more

Long story short: Expensive but delicious food, tainted by a poor service experience. Long story long: I ordered the halibut, which was a decent portion, fresh, delicious and had nice presentation. The food was great and I had no issues with it. As you can tell, I'm not very excited about the food though, because the service was a bit pushy from some of the staff and tainted my whole experience of ever dining at Opus again. After giving my order from a shorter, large-party menu, the waiter remained, asking about my appetizer. I repeated that I wasn't interested, but was told "everyone else has one." I thought, perhaps it was a prix fixe menu, as there were no prices on our menus, which can be standard for larger parties. When I clarified if this was a fixe menu and if I *had* to, I was told 'yes', when this wasn't actually the case. I felt quite pressured, tricked and uncomfortable. I addressed this a couple of minutes later (it was truly 2 minutes later), because I didn't want it. The waiter told me that he would have to check with the kitchen, since he had already submitted the order. A friend of mine at the table experienced the same thing, saying that they didn't initially want their appetizer either. My app order was cancelled. I understand trying to offer and getting an extra sale, but if only the waiter listened to my repeated "no, thank yous", this wouldn't have dragged on and I wouldn't have to leave a review like this. The other waiters were lovely, attentive and with great conversation, but unfortunately, this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. Fine dining is not just about food, it's a whole experience, and you can find better elsewhere. read more

I was at Opus in Toronto a few months ago. A table of four men across the room was talking loudly and sexually about women as if they are chattels. It was highly offensive. The owner tried to redirect them but I feel he should have shut them down. It is disappointing when fine dining be comes an unpleasant experience. read more

This is my second time to dine in Opus, again excellent service and high quality of food and wine does not disappoint me! The oyster from PEI are so fresh, way better than most oyster places, but it is on the more expensive side of the price. The steak is well cooked at medium rare, and my blackened tuna is so amazing. We also had the snow crab meat with radish for app, the portion of snow crab meat is very good! I will go again next time to try out their other entree read more

Probably the most disappointing fine dining experience that I've had. The food is okay but lacks a "wow" factor. The plates all seem to have one consistency... Mushy. We were a party of 2 on new years eve, we ordered the parsnip puree, scallops, bison tenderloin, strip loin, sea buthorne mousse. We originally went for the sea bass but they were sold out. (note that there was also a special menu available for that evening and the sea bass is a regular item... Also note that the menu on the website was not the same as in restaurant). The parsnip puree had to be shaken out of the teapot for it to be served (odd) and was overly sweet for my palette. Not to mention the dirty plate it was served on that left brown marks on the white table cloth. The scallops were cooked very well and were probably my favorite thing of the evening. That being said the dish seemed a little one note... And why is everything on the plate white? The bison tenderloin was quite tasty but easy over powered by the amount of salt and butter in the sides. The strip loin, again tasty but over salted. Cauliflower mash was not my taste either. The sea buckthorne mousse could not be described by our waiter.. But it was sour and tart. Like orange meets kumquat. Weird. The texture was also off (for me) for a mousse... Was more like a Panna cotta. So we decided to get a brandy to make things better. The waiter returned with the brandy and tells us they don't have the one we ordered and the one that is better is more expensive so he just picked something that was the same price. And then he walked away before we could even react. I feel like that should have been our choice to make, not his! And yes we were charged for it. RE service: the waiter started out very attentive but as the night went on the service simply went flat. No one checked in to see how our meal was going, whether it was cooked properly or if we wanted anything else. All in all, a very expensive let down. read more

Opus is AH-MAZING !! If you are a wine lover do not miss your opportunity to dine here!! Their wine list is ridiculous and they are one of only 60 restaurants in the world to receive a special accommodation with regard to their wines. The food is also delicious. The foie gras is to die for. We would come back here in a hot minute! read more

3.5/5 Found out about this place after hearing many stories about their extensive wine list and huge wine cellar located in the basement of the restaurant. I came here with a group of six on a Monday night - it wasn't too busy. FOOD: 3/5 We decided to begin our meal with five appetizers, Tuna Crudo and quail egg with pommel Frites ($23), braised rabbit and strozzapreti noodles with arugula ($24), tartare of beer with bay scallop ceviche and yuzu ($24), baby lettuces and vegetable chips with champagne vinaigrette ($16), and heirloom tomatoes and plums with shaved beets and mozzarella ($25). I enjoyed the pommel Frites for the Tuna Crudo - it gave it the dish a good crunch. The braised rabbit resembled the taste of shredded chicken mixed with pasta. A personal opinion on the beef tartare, I felt like it had too many onions and was missing an egg yolk. However, the bay scallop ceviche and yuzu were paired very well. As for the salad, I was not a huge fan of the champagne vinaigrette. The vegetable chips, however, were a nice replacement for the classic croutons. Among the five appetizers, my favourite dish was the heirloom tomatoes that were topped off with fresh mozzarella - delicious! Moving onto our main courses, we decided to share four dishes and a sauté of mushrooms with white wine and chive butter ($13). We found the mushrooms to be extremely salty and requested for it to be remade. After having it remade, the mushrooms were still too salty and our server insisted to have it remade, again. While the server walked back to the kitchen with the mushroom, we overheard someone yell, "I said less salt, what's going on, Jesus fucking Christ" - quite unprofessional, I must say. After seeing many pictures of the rack of lamb and roast tomato couscous with mint ($49), we decided that it was going to be a must get. We ordered the lamb to be made medium rare, but the bottom pieces were served as a medium - slightly too overcooked for our liking. Another meat we ordered was the aged prime striploin on horseradish purée with beets and dill pollen ($49). This was, by far, my favourite dish for the night. The crust of the steak was phenomenal and came with a strong buttery scent. Additionally, we ordered two fish, fog island cod on fava bean risotto with truffle jus ($44) and their special fish for the day, pickerel. Again, sad to say, but the cod was also overcooked - tasting very stiff and dry. The pickerel, on the other hand, was cooked much better and wasn't too overcooked. Finally, ending our meal with some dessert. We ordered the London fog (early grey) ice cream ($10.50), passion fruit sorbet ($10.50), and crème brûlée with mixed berries and macaron ($10.50). The service was absolutely amazing and very attentive. Overall, I would say I had a decent experience. If I were to go back, it would definitely be for the aged prime striploin. read more

Opus is a break the bank restaurant in the heart of Yorkville... hence you see mostly bankers/lawyers in the restaurant. From what I tried off the menu the gras fois, and the lamb were fantastic. The coconut lobster was a bit disappointing as the coconut flavour was way too overpowering and I couldn't taste the lobster. And their "giant" scallop... was very tasty but giant?... not so much. At the end of the day, this place is probably your best bet in Toronto if you're looking for that special bottle of wine from let's say 1981! Fantastic wine selection... highly recommended if you're into wine. Lastly, as some have already mentioned, I also enjoyed the classy, intimate bar area. So this would be a perfect place to maybe grab a couple of drinks with a "date", and only if this is like 4th or 5th date and things are going VERY well. read more

Opus Restaurant - Best lamb I have had in Toronto! - Wine Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Well in all honesty, I'm not sure how to rate this experience. I last dined here several years ago and had a positive experience overall, with the food as well as the service. I recently dined here for a group dinner, and my experience did not live up to the memory of the last visit, nor the expectations of what I was anticipating. We dined in the private room, which is partitioned off from the main dining room; however, it was still quite noisy and disruptive during our meeting. We were presented with a set menu with appetizer choices of the salsify bisque with white truffle honey and parmesan, which I chose, or the baby lettuces with vegetables crisps. I must say that I was quit disappointed in my choice of the bisque as it was very grainy, and bland overall. My colleagues who chose the salad concurred that it was overdressed and evented wilted. For our mains, we chose between a Fogo Island Cod with cauliflowers with white lentils Vadouvan and lime (my choice), prime striploin on mushroom couscous with parsley and garlic, or a ravioli dish. I believe all of us chose between the cod or striploin. Overall, my dish wash very disappointing. The beautiful cod I was expecting came as a disassembled filet, and was broken up (not intentionally) over the the lentils and cauliflower. There were no spices, sauces, or event salt added to this dish. It was a waste of a beautiful fish. My colleagues who chose the striploin felt it was overcooked to their liking. The 'saving grace' was the chocolate caramel tart, which was decadent and rich. I had it to go, although even despite this, they managed a lovely presentation. The service was attentive overall, and I appreciate the servers explaining the menu choices in advance. Overall, given the reputation of the establishment, I would expect better, particularly given the cost of the fairings. It is a competitive market in the restaurant industry, and to remain relevent and to attract customers, there are improvements to be made. read more

The fois gras, version and lamb racks were really good. The meat was very tender and juicy. The squash soup wasn't thick as I thought. It's very salty and not many flavours. Excellent service and quiet atmosphere. read more

An excellent restaurant where the owner and staff truly understand the meaning of fine dining. The ambience is perfect for a special occasion or a date night with folks who appreciate food and class. My options for dinner were: foie gras, red deer venison (special) and to finish off a salted caramel chocolate torte. Foie gras was beautifully cooked and presented with a melt in your mouth texture that left me and my colleagues wiping the plate clean with the fresh bread provided. The venison was definitely an adventurous options but there were no regrets there as it was cooked very well and made for a sumptuous main. Dessert also did not disappoint (with the only downside being that I wish there was more of it!). Overall and excellent meal with outstanding service and a very extensive wine selection, which will definitely bring me back here again. read more

This is a top notch fine dining restaurant where everything works to perfection: reception, service, food, all perfect. Our group had steak, elk, and cod main courses, all excellent. The squash soup and the scallops appetizers were also excellent, as were the donuts, ice cream and creme brûlée deserts. Absolute perfection with commensurate prices, about $70 per person without alcoholic beverages. Highly recommended, if you can afford it. $15 valet parking, read more

First time visiting Opus. Had some preconceived notions about it being stuffy and super swank. But the service from each staff member was lovely, extremely competent, warm & very welcoming. The wine list is literally a book that runs the gamut up to $5000+ bottles of wine. We didn't feel obligated to keep up with the Joneses, so to speak, and asked for a wine around $100 that complimented the tasting menu. The tasting menu was fantastic (see photos & descriptions)! Very nice for a special occasion. Only negative would be the clientele- some typical, loud, boorish big-spenders in there. C'est la vie. read more

Recently went to this restaurant and had a very disappointing experience. We had made reservations...yet we felt that we were pushed to the bottom of the list as others who were seated after us were served before us. What Toronto restaurants fail to realize, service is probably 50% or more of the experience. We waited over an hour between appetizers and main courses even though our orders were given all at once. My halibut was dried out, having sat under a heat lamp too long (the plate was hot!). My guests also didnt enjoy their meals. Although we indicated that we had waited over an hour for our main courses, no one apologized for the wait. The maître d'hôtel did not even check on us once even though he greeted and seated so many others (and we aren't talking about a huge restaurant here; maybe 50 people). Anyway, the restaurant was very busy. I hope that the other guests, who seemed to have gotten better treatment then my party, enjoyed their meal more than we did. We went home and ordered thai. read more

I splurged and treated myself to dinner at Opus on my first night in Toronto --that's what one does after getting 6 hours a sleep within 36 hours. A local told me Opus was the restaurant was a must. It's a bit hidden in the dark so pay attention to the numbers. The dress code is fancy so I was happy that maitre de didn't give me any attitude for looking like a rugrat lugging 3 bags around... I started with the sauté of mushrooms with garlic, herbs and tomato. It was pretty good but I don't know if it was worth the $19CAD...I then had the Canadian striploin with truffled vegetables and fines herbes reduction,-- perfectly cooked --not as juicy as Jacob's though. Yeah...I would have given Opus a 5 star but then I had Jacob's steak...I surprised myself and squeezed in the dark chocolate molten cake and caramelized banana with kalamansi sorbet. The molten cake was good but would have been better if it was warmer. With 2 glasses of wine my total came out to $100USD....yikes...well, you only live once and who knows the next time I'll be in Toronto. read more

Tony and Mario's restaurant. Excellent service, decor, atmosphere, acoustics, music choice and food. My favorite haunt! I always order the Malpeque Oysters, the seared Foie Gras, the seared Tuna, the cheese platter, the hot molten-lava chocolate cake and a sorbet palette cleanser. Highly recommend it. read more

I would have to say the best restaurant in Toronto. Still. It has outlasted so many trendy ones that have come and gone. Boba came second, but sadly is gone now. Best foie gras I have ever tasted. Ever. And yes, this includes many forays into the Southwest of France itself. The maple syrup demi-glace is genius. Sadly the caribou tenderloin has slipped from the menu. It was simply heaven. As was the mini-rabbit appetizer. Save room for dessert. The Almond stuffed pear tatin on red plum puree with cardomon ice cream is a taste you will never taste again. read more

First off, the service was impeccable. Friendly, personable, unpretentious...our server really took care of us. The drinks were good too. I had rusty nail - a drink that many restaurants seem to mess up, and it was bit on the sweet side but still good. As for food we ordered the beef tartare, and I really enjoyed that. Everything else was just OK for me. The fois gras my girlfriend loved. Me? It was good. I don't seek it out, so I would take her opinion over mine. A steak that was decent, but not great. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake deal. I liked it - I'm a dessert person - but I wasn't blown away by it. It was the generic molten chocolate cake that most restaurants make. Food overall? Meh. Good but stuffy fancy food done the same way it always is. Very little creativity. Service? Excellent. You are definitely paying for the service over the food. Decor and atmosphere? Generic fancy restaurant. Nice and quiet though. Would I come back? I doubt it. Would i recommend it? If you're meeting your significant other's parents for the first time, I might recommend this place. But probably not for any other situation. read more

Opus has by far the most extensive wine list in the Toronto area which is a big achievement considering the difficulty of getting fine wins in Ontario. The food is standard New-American/Canadian fare that is designed around complimenting fine wine pairings. The service is good and interior of the restaurant is clean, classic, modern American. My only critique would be that some of the really high-end wines outshine the food but hey, you're there to enjoy the wine no? read more

I went last night for the first time. If you are looking for food heaven this is the place. The ambiance was great. The service was outstanding. The food was fantastic. We ate PEI oysters as an appetizer. They were so good we had a second round of the same. Then we had the cod which was super fresh. We had the lamb rack which was superb. We had a side order of fava beans which were prepared in an amazing way. The wine list and cellar were simply outstanding. At the end of the meal, we booked a table at Opus for the next night. I cancelled my reservation elsewhere. When you find a restaurant as amazing as this one, you don't just walk away without trying everything on the menu that appeals to you. Unfortunately it will be my last night in Toronto. When I come back, you know where I am going first. read more

My husband and I were in the neighbourhood, we used Yelp to find a restaurant for dinner and we were delighted with our choice. We had the fresh oysters appetizer - the red wine mignonette sauce was delicious and I am not that fond of mignonette sauce. My husband had the venison and I had the prime strip loin. I like my steak medium rare and it was done perfectly. My husband's venison was melt in your mouth tender. For dessert, we shared the chocolate truffle tort with whites chocolate ice cream. The chocolate flavour was very intense - which was a good thing. The service was attentive without being intrusive and my husband was very impressed with how speedy they were. Definitely worth every star of the 5. read more

Opus is one of Toronto's best restaurant's hands down. They have received a Wine Spectator Award in the past and have one of the most extensive wine lists in North America. Be prepared to ay for the best. This is top tier eating, drinking and socializing. If you're like me, and you like to eat at the bar, there is always a good mix of people perched at the bar or drinks or for food and there's a real sense that it's a community of regulars who are welcoming and social. The waiters are all pros and know food and beverage inside and out. In the summer, they open their back garden patio as well, and it's gorgeous with a big tree in the middle. You feel like you're not even in the city. Be prepared to see big name politicians and stars (I've see Christopher Walkin and Wendle Clark here) alike, dining at Opus. It's totally one of those, "in the know" type joints. Favorite dish: pan-seared tuna. And their molten chocolate desert is made on site from chocolate they import direct from Portugal. It's like heaven in your mouth. Worth every penny. read more

This is quite possibly the very best restaurant I've ever been to. I went on a business trip so I wasn't looking too closely at the prices and ordered the food for the food. Wow! wOw! WoW! It was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Foie Gras and it was mouth watering. The wait staff was extremely hospitable and knowledgeable. I would recommend this restaurant for a wonderful high-end, but still warm and comforting, experience. read more

Appetizer we had the risotto and the snow crab and artichoke the risotto had very good flavour they had popcorn pieces added to it which was different but in a good way. The crab and artichoke was light and pleasing a perfect start to our dinner. Mains Venison and Grouper Portions are perfect size The venison was very tender and flavourful Grouper was light with great flavour as well Dessert We had the most delectable dessert: the chocolate soft cake and black cherry on dolce de leche. It was so light and fluffy and with the perfect amount of sweetness to it. Perfect end to dinner. Wine Selection The biggest wine selection I've seen so far. They had a specific person that you speak with when ordering your wine and they were very knowledgeable. We had a bottle of wine 2004 Merlot from California and it was great with dinner. Staff The staff was very courteous and friendly. They were very hospitable and was very attentive to our needs. They consistently visited our table to refill our wine glasses and water. Overall customer service is on point. Very classy atmosphere and the set up allowed us to feel like we had our own private space. This will definitely become a regular spot for us. read more

The best Foie Gras in town! Valentines dinner and can't wait to come back again. Appetizers: Foie Gras over mapled apples on a bed of delicious current puree sauce. Had to restrain ourselves from ordering another before our main entrees. The snow crab appetizer followed suit which was also shelled and paired nicely with an artichoke salad. Specials: We selected the PEI oysters which were served nicely with a tasty shallot vinaigrette and the usual toppings. Very fresh and not too wild of a taste. Mains: Rack of Lamb: cooked medium and was perfect! I dislike eggplants and Opus was kind enough to replace with other vegetables.(Service was 10/10) Striploin: recommended to cook as medium rare and it was made perfectly! Amazing flavour and tender in the centre. Wine: Pinot noir, Duckhorn Migration. Paired well with our mains and Foie gras. Overall 10/10 for service, food and ambience. We asked about Brunch and they only serve Dinner after 5pm. read more

Came here for a late valentines day dinner. First if all i would like to say the valet parking is definitely a plus. Amazing service. Very elegant setting and atmosphere. Perfect for a date or gathering. Service is amazing. Constant checkups and top offs for drinks. Knowledgable staff.. coat checks and proper fine dining edicacies. We ordered an assortment of cured meats which were amazing and full flavoured. Also bought the seared tuna and cod dish. Also amazing seafood. The saute mushroom addition was full flavoured. Bought a grapefruit cocktail and white wine chardoney full flavoured and paired well with fish. Definitely would recommend. Fine dining at its best for me thus far. read more

Opus is a classic and very classy restaurant. I was impressed with every course. I started with the Beef and scallop carpaccio (with black garlic, truffle and parsley); my date the Tuna tartare and caviar (with buttermilk, quail egg, granola and flowers). As my main, I had the Lamb rack and shoulder (with carrots, salsify and mint), my date, the beautiful Rabbit Ravioli. We finished with the Vanilla crème brûlée (with langue du chat and fresh berries) plus ice cream. The meal was divine, the service exceptional--everyone who works here seems relaxed and happy (which clearly is a nod to the owners, bravo). read more

This is a nice little restaurant downtown in the heart of the U of T area. The food was delicious but since we were here as a group it was quite noisy & crowded. There were other patrons there besides us as well. The washrooms are located downstairs & they were clean. Servers are courteous & professional. I just found the tables a bit too close together. Some tight squeezes to get past people. Still it's a nice place. I hear the back patio is lovely in the summer time, but on the day we came it was too cold & windy for that. read more

I went here once in August due to it being right next to my high school where I was of course going to go back to in a week. Opus sits perfectly in Yorkville, though it is not inexpensive. Around $70 CAD per person if you don't include alcohol. Speaking of alcohol, they have an amazing wine list that spans across the entire globe over the course of 90 pages. I knew that I would not get the the Petrus 1963 wine which cost over $40,000 CAD. Cuisine: Innovating European fine dining with slight Canadian twists. The best of it's kind in the city. No. of guests: 3 This was planned by my family who thought I deserved something for passing my first semester of school with flying colours. Meal time: Dinner Cost: $$$$ The menu changes frequently, though it usually maintains the price range of $16-25 CAD for Appetizers, $120-395 CAD for Caviar, $35-45 CAD for a Main Course, $7-11 CAD for dessert, and around $20 CAD for cheese, Ambiance and setting: Looks like an abandoned, vegetation infested building from the outside. This will fool you instantly, because the moment you walk inside you will see jet black walls with a breathtaking bar. The waiters and co-owners greet you as they come dressed in tuxedos. They always bring a nice option of some sort of tomato-cornmeal bread before you order any drinks of appetizers, It's an overall dimly lit dark restaurant that really makes you feel as if you are dining at quite a serious place. Service: Amazing, They will reveal the price of all items as their faces are locked with a heartwarming grin. They will recommend any wine or food they see fit, I was served by a man named Tony. The Chef: We did not get the chance to meet him, though I believe his name is Jason Cox and if he's anything like the food he made us then he's amazing. The food: You may order anything off the menu along with a bottle of wine of your choice. They have beautiful hotplates and bowls that all have a beautiful vibe to them. The Experience: When you leave with the taste of the food in your mouth you will always be happy. This is what the restaurant is, Happy and beautiful, nigh-tearjerking. This is good place to come once every 4 to 6 months if you are adventurous when it comes to food. read more

Needed to treat myself :) My wardrobe is a little light on the dressy side but the maitre d' didn't bat an eyelash. I ordered the foie gras to give the impression that I wasn't there for a glass of wine. To go with my duck I chose a Richebourg. Like me it has more opulence than finesse. It was a pleasant evening. The service was fantastic and the food/wine were amazing. Check out the wine cellar it's worth the price of admission. read more

My husband and I first visited Opus over a decade ago and although we liked the food a lot, we unfortunately had a bad service experience. Our server's attitude shifted as soon as he found out that we were not ordering a bottle of wine (my husband had requested a couple of wines by the glass), and remained surly throughout the evening. My husband was so put off that he refused to give them another chance, for all this time. I really wanted to try it again, because I loved the decor, ambiance, and food. I finally convinced him to give it another shot a couple of weeks ago and I am so glad that I did! Not only was the food excellent (I had the cod and truffle porridge followed by the salted caramel chocolate tart) and the environment as lovely as I'd remembered, but our server was so friendly, good humoured, and helpful, he completely made up for the past experience. Additionally, there was another gentleman (the manager, I think) who helped us with our coats and saw us out the door at the end of the night and was so warm to us, it sealed the deal - we definitely plan to spread the word and be back! read more
