   The service was great. The hostess is super nice and attentive. We had grouper, snapper, filet mignon and achromatic scampi. Everything tasted fresh and came with a nice side of vegetables and mashed potatoes

   The hostess welcomed us in and was very friendly. She took tons of photos for us and worked hard to make our dining an experience for us. It fell apart with most of the dinners though. My Pina colada coconut shrimp with the sauce was delicious but the person in our party who ordered the grouper special was very disappointed. The gold leaf made the presentation but the grouper itself was dry. My husband and another person in our party ordered the $75 surf and turf. The turf looked like the ends of a pot roast instead of a filet mignon. Our desserts were ok. Unfortunately this will be a one and done with us.

    The Opus Ocean and Grill is a hidden treasure! Our waiter Kevin was incredible. Very attentive yet not overbearing. The menu selections were amazing. We had the12 oz lobster tail and red snapper. They were cooked to perfection. Accompanied with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. This restaurant is a must go to place in Aruba!!! I wish I would have found it earlier in our visit. You won’t be disappointed if you go!!

    First time there. When the restaurant was at full capacity it was a little on the noisy side, but then as the night went on it was fine. We got there early and Sonja the hostess said no worries and seated us in a few minutes.The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The coconut shrimp was delicious!

    Such a great dining experience. From the moment we entered, we were greeted with warm friendly smiles and conversation. The food was incredible and our waiter, Kevin (aka Octoman), was terrific. I enjoyed the grilled lobster… it was cooked to perfection. We also recommend the piña colada coconut shrimp. And of course the octopus was delicious. Definitely will return to Opus again.

    The service at opus is impeccable from the hostess Sophia to our server Kevin and everyone in between they made it their prime objective to make us feel valued family members. The food was very good and repaired exactly as we requested. The wine was lovely and the pace of the dinner was leisurely and comfortable. We were honored to be presented with an ambassador’s dessert and will certainly return when we’re back on the island. Don’t miss this special experience.

    Came here for dinner on a cruise and my partner and I had an incredible time. First and foremost, our server Kenia was wonderful. He was kind, attentive, and answered all our tourist questions about himself, his culture, and Aruba. The food was also incredible. The ambiance of the restaurant was also really wonderful. It was small and homey- you definitely got a family establishment vibe here, which we loved. All the staff were really kind and helpful. If I could, I would go back to Aruba just to eat at this restaurant again. If you have to chance to dine here, I highly recommend you do- you will not be disappointed.

    From the moment we arrived until we left the personalized service was amazing. Sonia the hostess greeted us at the door and showed us to our table which was decorated for our anniversary. We travel a lot and dine out often and she was probably the most gracious hostess we ever had. Kevin our waiter who is also the owners son was amazing. He explained every dish with heartfelt enthusiasm and made great recommendations. Enough for the service. The food was spectacular. Kevin recommended a marinated octopus appetizer which was unbelievable. It was so tender and tasty. I had the red snapper and my wife had the grouper, unbelievably fresh and the presentation was something you’d see in cookbook. For desert they gave us a complimentary cheesecake made in house. Again it was delicious. The ambiance was very nice, upscale but not over the top, very comfortable. This is a family owned and family run business and you feel like you are at a friends house for dinner. My wife and I are very good cooks and cook every night when we are home. As I said we travel a lot and have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the big cities in the states and Europe. This restaurant ranks up there with the best. I usually don’t write reviews. This may be my second. I had to write this one because it was so good. We’ve been telling everybody. My wife and I strongly recommend giving Opus a try. You won’t be disappointed.
