    One of the best meals we’ve had on the island. Wonderful ambience, amazing waitstaff, phenomenal service, excellent food. The escargot was extremely delicious and tender. The grilled octopus was very flavorful. The blackened tuna was good, a tad overcooked but good overall. The local caught octopus over squid ink pasta (their signature dish) was also good. Ended with local dessert (sweet soufflé with a tart strawberry coulis) which was also good.

    We went to celebrate my 40th birthday. When we arrived we were promptly greeted and taken to our table. Our server was Kevin and he explained the options available. He made sure my glass was never empty. Towards the end, the team came out and sang a cute birthday song! It was great! They were attentive and the food was fabulous.

    After being seated, my wife had to call for attention to staff to at least place our drink order. The tables in front had same situation. After starting to finally eat our food, we heard from another waiter telling client the specials. We were never told about specials. Also once we got our doversole fish, waiter gave us the top half and told us they needed to cook the rest. It took about 20 minutes for them to bring other half of fish back, which we were both done at that point. Needless to say, horrible SERVICE. Food was so so!

    This is a place that we felt feel premium. The service overall is friendly but unexperienced, the food took 45min to arrive, and we were alone in the restaurant. The fish we ordered was clearly frozen imported fish, hence very dry. The appetizers came at the same time as the rest of the food. The wine list is good and expanded.

    We sat outside in the garden area and it was a great restaurant, although it’s near the street, but it wasn’t too bad in regards to noise level. The service was absolutely amazing and the food was great. However, I would say it was very pricey compared to other restaurants. I still highly recommend if you don’t mind spending a bit more money.

    This is our third trip to Aruba in 2 years and we’ve had some incredible meals here. But Opus is my favorite dining experience. The food was amazing - I had grilled salmon and risotto, my husband enjoyed a filet. The service was perfect and attentive and the restaurant is new and lovely. I will come back here whenever I’m in Aruba.

    Nice place with great seafood and wine. Ambiance was cosy and warmfull. The cooking could have been more accurate but it wasn't a big deal.
