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

    Once again, our yearly visit to Opus was outstanding and Kevin our Waiter we’ve had for the past 3-4 years is always a delightful face to see. The food is delicious and the staff is so friendly. Until next year, my friends.

    My husband and I had a wonderful time at Opus. The hostess who greeted us was very friendly. But he felt very welcomed from the start. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly, the food was spectacular and the young lady that was singing was excellent. We decided at the end of our dinner, that we would come back tonight which would be our last night in Aruba. We cannot wait to be back.

    Service and food quality were excellent. The reason for 4 stars rather than 5 stars is the sneaky billing practices: 1. We ordered ONE dessert and they brought TWO of the same dessert, with the second plate having a celebratory message for the occasion we were there for. How nice, we thought, assuming the second dessert that we didn’t order was complementary. Nope. They charged us for two desserts. 2. They will keep opening sparkling water bottles first without asking you. We didn’t even realize until we say 4 sparking bottle charges at $10 a piece! Similar to an alcoholic beverage, the wait staff should ask for confirmation first before charging for additional rounds if they are a per-refill charge. Other than that, everything was great about the restaurant however those sneaky bill charges left us feeling taking advantage of after an otherwise pleasant dinner.
