Opus Dining

★ 4.4 / 5 (248 reviews)

Nestled conveniently for pre- or post-movie dining, this recently renovated restaurant boasts a sleek, modern aesthetic and an impressive menu. Guests rave about the innovative dishes, with standout offerings like fried cauliflower, plump scallops, and tender duck leg, all beautifully presented. While the food quality shines, service tends to be slow, likely a result of the new staff settling in. The wine selection complements the meals well, though some patrons noted the absence of certain beverages. With a few adjustments to service and ambiance, this dining destination promises a delightful experience worth revisiting.

The food generally was very tasty and innova... View all feedback.

We made a reservation online using the OpenTable app, but when we arrived, the restaurant was closed. It's puzzling how the app permitted bookings when the restaurant wasn't open.

Unfortunately, Opus Dining is closed, leaving us without a place to eat dinner since there are no other restaurants nearby.
