    Chef Patrick and his staff were personable as well as professional. Chef's creations were delicious and food preparation was flawless. An fun and interesting evening to share with friends and family! Note: We purchased the wine pairing and to chef's credit, the quality of the food far exceeded the quality of the wines. Consider purchasing wine off of the wine menu. Felix

    After a mediocre expensive dinner elsewhere, we were thrilled to have discovered Opus & only wish we'd known about it in past years!!The presentation, the generous portions, the flavors, the personable wait staff, the willingness to accommodate changes, the ambience and the reasonable costs: everything was wonderful. Our lamb chops, chicken parmigiana, and uni linguini were all excellent. For nearly 1/2 the charge for a gin & tonic elsewhere, my husband's drink was perfect. Highly recommend all vacationers add Opus to their dining options- we absolutely will for 2026!!
