    Opus was by far the best restaurant I have eaten at in Aruba. The ambience, staff (Ken was wonderful) and food was outstanding. There is nothing negative to say about this beautiful restaurant. Highly recommend

    I found the food very odd, $5 sourdough, was a slice of buttered toast. No oysters. Tuna tartar had pickled onions, arugula and seaweed salad, very little tuna, no chip or crunch. Grilled octopus came with seafood sauce. The Greek salad did not include romaine lettuce. It was very strange. Server was very nice though.

    Server and staff were great. Chef, not so much. Kitchen took forever to cook our dinner, but when food finally came out is was disappointing. Needed a “steak knife” to cut through the overcooked lobster tail and octopus… Staff did a good job to try and make it rich but by then it was too late for a $68 entry!!

    We enjoyed our dinner here overall. Greek salad was delicious. Blackened Cod was the best entree we had. The salmon was decent, but the catch of the day (grouper) was overcooked and dry. Disappointing as it was a pricey meal ($100/pp). Great service and cute ambience. We were next to the bar and at one point it got very loud and we had a hard time hearing each other talk at the table, but that was relatively brief.
