   This restaurant is poorly run, with a mediocre menu. Such a downfall compared to Tesori which was great. They symphony should replace it as soon as possible.

   We had dinner before a 7:30 symphony performance on a Monday night. We had a party of 5. We were sat right away but once at our table service was very slow. We had drinks delivered about 30 minutes after we sat. At about 25 minutes before the performance we were still waiting on our entrees. They came shortly after, but I was left trying to very quickly eat my almost $50 entree. The value was already not good, but having to eat it so quickly it was very bad. We had children with us and they had very little time to eat much of their entrees at all. The prices are also quite high for the quality and choice of food. This was our second visit to the restaurant since its rebranding. Service has been poor and slow both times. Won’t be back for a third visit.

   We found Opus when looking for a dining choice prior to a symphony. The restaurant is wonderful and very convenient to the CSO facility, connected by a hallway, so there is no need to deal with bad weather! We enjoy Opus and know you will too.

   This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks at the Opus Restaurant. Thought we'd try again by chance it happened to be an "off" day. We felt that the service, while kind people for sure, were not well organized and put us off. We were dining prior to a concert, which requires quick and professional service. Food was average and does not stand up to the very good quality served as Tesori or Rhapsody. Finally, overpriced for drinks and food. I tipped properly, but we won't return soon, despite the fact that we loved the combination of nice, nearby dining prior to a concert. Sorry to give an unfortunate review. One thing though. All people were kind, and no one was snarky. Glad for that. Sorry, wish it was better.

   Prices higher than former restaurant by $25 per person. My salmon was undercooked. My friend’s whitefish was okay. My wife liked her pork tenderloin. Hope the restaurant does well

   We were pleasantly surprised at the choice offered by the menu: a la carte as well as prix fixe. My friend ordered the shrimp appetizer and a salad. I had a vegetable soup and the shrimp and grits. We both enjoyed our choices. We love the convenience of dining on site. We're much more inclined to do that than look for another site to dine.

   Was there for brunch before the Symphony. Many food choices - food was fresh and nicely prepared. Will go there again.

    If the service could match the food, this restaurant would be much better.
