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

    One dinner was excellent. Really enjoyed the blackened cod. One which my husband had was the grouper special was good but not great. I ordered the better choice Many entrées and sides were not available. They were on the menu but not available.

    Opus offers very friendly service and some of seafood is very good (my seabass was nicely cooked). The problem is that the price point is considerably more expensive than other restaurants nearby, but the food quality overall does not exceed that of other restaurants. The side vegetables were "standard" and unexceptional, while some of the seafood (notably the scallops) was overcooked.
