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

    The Vocalist and Christmas Decor was lovely. The food was good, unfortunately our waiter was rushing us wanting our dinner order almost as soon as opening the menu, when we did not order dessert he took everything off our table including our water glasses while still drinking from them. Since no alcohol could be sold because of local voting, we only had water to drink. In my opinion it is not the way we should have been treated.

    Service was fantastic. Place is very nice, clean, nice decor etc. They had a girl singing all night which was nice. I thought the wine prices were very expensive even for aruba. At BTL I was able to find a great wine at a reasonable price. We didn’t have any wine. The appetizers were amazing. Grilled Octopus and a shrimp dish that they had brandy in it and they light it on fire. Both were amazing. My wife had shrimp and mushroom risotto which she loved. I had surf and turf and disappointingly the lobster tail was over grilled and the meat was undercooked- 2 temps off - however the shrimp was stellar. The manager took that off the bill without telling us and gave us a free lemon sorbet to make up for the mistake. It was pretty loud in there with the tile floors. Lots of energy. Overall a nice experience. One mistake with the food and I wish the wine was more reasonable. I wouldn’t say don’t try it. Stuff happens and I feel this is a very nice place to have dinner.

    Fizzy our server was amazing. Food was mediocre and overpriced. Olive oil on the table tasted like canola oil. Our suggestion. No olive oil is better than horrible olive oil.

    Service was exceptional! The timing of service delivered definitely represents detailed training. The only flaw was after the entree was cleared, the busser should have crumbed the table. This is just a minor detail.
