    Everything was just OK. Definitely no where I’d be interested in running back to. It was extremely hot in one section of the restaurant. The service was mediocre and we had to constantly ask our sever for things that should have been provided with a meal. It took forever for our food to come and we went at lunch time. Restaurant was practically empty. Food was decent but the portions for the side were a bit ridiculous for the price. My friend didn’t like her food at all she got the crab cake and pretty much just picked at it.

    The food was good but a little overpriced. The service was amazing. I've had many steaks at a lot of different steakhouses throughout the world. This wasn't a $65 strip. $40 - $45 ? absolutely. Overall, I'm pleased. I just don't think it will be towards the top of my list when I want to go out for a high dollar steak.

    Have dined here many times in the past, but this time the bread and coffee were off, though the meal was beautifully prepared and presented. Service was also off, and I believe that to be a result of a server who was distracted. Still recommend this restaurant. Good menu options and elegant.

    Chicken sandwich was dry and breast was very small. Roll was like a cheap hamburger bun. Not very impressive. Floor was messy with dropped food. Manager needs a new/clean suit. Our server was good. Just a little slow for lunch crowd. He was nice thoughtful. One thing that always happened here is I have to find server get my check and to pay my bill. Not sure if that is customary but for a weekday lunch I need to get back to work. Can’t expect to be out 2.5 hours.

    Not what I expected for a high end steakhouse. Everything was “fine”. The one thing we were super disappointed in was the steak. I had a filet and my son and hubs had NY strips. They were all tender and cooked to our desired temp but they had no flavor.

    For the first time ever, I can't give 5 stars. I ordered the Salad Nicoise. The seared tuna was way over cooked and dry - losing the delicious flavor needed. Our server was MIA most of the time so I never had the opportunity to tell her that the Ahi tuna was terrible. In the many years I've been going to Opus9, this was not the experience I usually enjoy.

    This restaurant has a reputation for being a premium steakhouse so I was really looking forward to our visit and the meal. My wife ordered to seafood combination plate and stated that the food was good, but not as good as a local high end seafood restaurant. I ordered the costlier dry aged New York Strip. While it wasn’t bad, I guess I expected better for the additional $12 over the standard NY Strip. The steak was cooked per my request, medium, but I did not find it particularly tender, and had to remove two pieces of gristle from the steak (not really what I expected from a high end cut). To finish off the meal I ordered tiramisu for desert, it wasn’t damp, it was soaking wet. I couldn’t taste the espresso soaked lady fingers over the deluge of white chocolate sauce and large white chocolate chips imbedded in the cake. I fully expected to pay nearly $200 for this dinner for two, but I will not go back. As I said over all I thought it was good, but not really worth the splurge. Over all I

    My friend and I meet here at least twice a year for our birthdays. We always enjoy ourselves but probably stay way too long as we have too much to share. We’re waiting for them to ask us to vacuum or wash dishes! The staff is always very attentive and gracious regarding our long stay. The food & wine were delicious!!

    We enjoyed another great meal at Opus 9 last evening. The menu choices and food preparation was spot on as we've always come to expect. The service unfortunately was not up to their normal standard. Because of the staff shortages that seemingly all restaurants are having we tried to be understanding. But this is an area the restaurant should address. It did not diminish our celebration and we'll be back soon.

    First and foremost I have to give much respect to the manager, Travis. I booked a reservations on OpenTable and me and my husband arrive 10 minutes before. After 15 minutes realizing we have not been Service, my husband went to handle it in a very respectful manner. Travis, the manager came and told us the front Desk fail to check that we have arrived. The fact that he apologize, not once but twice before our food came, and at the end of our visit, show that he genuinely cared and wanted us to have a great experience. Overall, the experience was great despite the little hiccups. The atmosphere, the food, the waitress who we had, Jake made my birthday celebration special. If you are in Williamsburg Virginia, I would definitely recommend this restaurants.

    Opus 9 SteakhouseResponded on March 6, 2023Thank you kindly for being so very gracious when you joined us. Travis was horrified that our host had not conveyed your arrival to the server and we are so very grateful you let us know. It is guests like you that make our day worthwhile. I am so glad your birthday with us was special and we hope to see you again soon!

    Very nice place with attentive staff. I found the food to be quite salty which tells me that additives/flavor enhancers may be being used - especially in their bisque. My steak was not juicy, on the dry side, but tender. It was a filet Oscar with very little "Oscar" and needed more sauce. Prices are high for the quality of food. Although we would give it another try.

    My wife and I returned to Opus 9, one of our very favorite restaurants in Williamsburg (or anywhere really), last night. Everything was fantastic. Our server, Nancy, was super friendly and "perfectly attentive". The drinks were great as always. My wife and I shared the shrimp cocktail, the 14 oz dry-aged NY Strip, a cold water lobster tail, a loaded baked potato, and sautéed vegetables. For dessert, yummy S'mores cake. A wonderful and memorable evening!

    My husband took me to Opus 9 to celebrate my birthday. We were seated and greeted by our waiter. We gave our drink order and appetizer order. Once we received our drinks and appetizers we gave our entree order. In the meantime there were two other couples seated and two tables that had a party of four that was seated. When we were seated we were the only people in the area that we were seated in at the time. My husband and I watched the tables that had the two couples receive their entrees and one table that had a party of four receive their entrees. My husband asked for a manager. The manager came over and I explained the issue, he stated he would check on our order. He took about 7 minutes to come back. He came back with our food. He apologized then made a sarcastic comment that was insensitive stating he hope it was worth the wait. That comment was inappropriate since we had been waiting for at least 45 minutes from the time we placed our entree order. The general manager also came over to apologize, at this point my husband and I decided to box our food up and leave. No need to wonder if we are Afro American because we are.

    Opus 9 SteakhouseResponded on March 6, 2023We are sorry your meal took a bit longer. The other tables you mentioned did not order a 1st course as you did, & would therefore naturally receive their food a bit faster. I am glad you spoke with the manager at the time so he was able to comp the entire meal for you. To suggest that this was in any way racially motivated certainly is out of line with both our intent & integrity. We would not have been in business so long with so many loyal guests of all backgrounds if this were truly the case.

    It was just okay. They messed up the order a little, mom’s 80th birthday and they did nothing for it, the steak was much less than what you’d get at a good steakhouse. The waiter was just there, never added anything extra. My expectations were higher. Absolutely not a place to go for a nice dinner.
