Food & service always excellent. Staff shirts tucked in and are attentive. Great atmosphere. Attire can be dressy or clean casual. Pricey but equal to the quality you receive.

My Wife and I picked Opus Bistro because they said they had great Steaks and my Wife wanted a good steak on her birthday. Everything started great we arrived early and sat at the bar and had a pre dinner Cocktail, a Kettle One dirty Martini and an Espresso Martini they were spot on, moved to our reserved window table and was greeted promptly by Brenden our waiter, the lobster bisque my wife loved it for her starter then main course she ordered the 16 Oz Ribeye and I went with the Halibut stuffed Special, when the waiter brought out the entrees and put them down the Halibut looked awesome but the steak looked almost black and way overcooked, Brendon asked my wife if the Steak was good she said sure it will be Fine, the more she tried to cut into it She realized that it was not medium rare but well done, needless to say she was not happy and kind of done at this point, We had the waiter box is all up and mentioned to Brandon that the steak was overcooked, he asked if we wanted it taken off the bill and wife said no no that will be fine, the waiter came back and dropped the bill off and I certainly thought he would have taken the $56.00 Ribeye off to do the right thing, but no the steak was still on the bill,
We usually have great food and service but Saturday Night they were definitely having an off nightHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 14, 2023
Great to have an additional restaurant on the "South Shore Harbor Resort campus"! We've been coming here for over 20 years and this was a welcomed addition, filling in the gaps to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all while at the resort!
Food was delightful, worth every penny, considering the portion size. An extensive wine and drink list, perfect for a variety of pairings- also, quite flavorful. We both ordered the Lobster Risotto entree, with a lobster tail, blackened scallops, lobster risotto, and asparagus, paired with the Cono Sur Chardonnay, which was a win. The lobster and scallops were perfectly cooked, and plenty of lump lobster meat in the accompanying risotto, which was flavorful, with that ridiculously awesome cream sauce! The asparagus was also cooked to perfection!
Great service by our waitress and new waiter who supposedly was shadowing her, but did well on his own!
As far as the ambiance, more of a fine dining experience, and a bit pricier than the Paradise Reef (breakfast), and the Oasis Poolside bar (lunch & small plates), big as mentioned earlier, nice-sized portions.
Will definitely be back, as we visit SSH often!Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 5Oh no 0 - Michael D.Texas City, TX692219Feb 2, 2024
It's absolutely amazing... they knock it out of the park every time. If you want to go somewhere that remembers your name, has amazing food, and is elevated, come here! Service is always outstanding. the atmosphere is elegant.

My husband and I decided to try Opus out last night for our anniversary. We were wanting a quaint romantic dinner. However it was everything but that. The restaurant itself was set up beautifully with a nice view overlooking marina. But the people at the bar were so loud that it was hard to hear eachother. And our table was on the other side of restaurant we could still barely hear eachother. There were about 6 other tables of couples and we were not the only ones complaining. I would suggest you close off the bar somehow. I complained to our waitress and she commented that there was a pull out wall that used to to block it off. As our meal progressed they got louder and louder. By the time we hit dessert we asked for it to go. Food was really good but the ambiance was killed by all the loud people at bar. You can't advertise a fine dining establishment and have that much bar noise going on. If it wasn't for the ambiance I would have given 5 star.

I really wanted to like this restaurant. The ambiance is nice with a view of the water. Very upscale looking interior. The drinks were pretty good but pricy which is about what I expected. However the food was was VERY bland and hard to eat. I ordered the Opus pasta which was around $30. The menu states it comes with a white wine sauce, but I'm pretty sure it was just served in the oil and water it was boiled in. Zero sauce or seasoning on the shrimp and scallops. I ended up just tossing my leftovers because I dreaded eating the rest. I would definitely recommend picking a different restaurant in the area for your special occasions.

OMG! We had one of our favorite 4th of July EVER!
We went here for PRIME RIB TUESDAY.
IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! This was 2 of the
Best PRIME Rib we've ever enjoyed.. It was perfect at medium rare. The seasoning was perfect, so it just melted into your tastebuds.
AMAZING The potatoes were creamy and delicious.. The servers Kyla and Chaz were the most atinitive server'si believewe'veever had. They were Top Notch! The atmosphere was very nice with beautiful views of the marina... FIVE STARS for Opus
Bistro.. We'll definitely be back.. We also need to give our mixologist a shout-out. She was great

This a very classy looking place good for a birthday, special occasion or if you just feel like eating some good food. It is casual but it could definitely be the kind of place you could dress up. There is a nice view of the lake. Our waiter Sonny was nice and friendly and was very attentive. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass on top of spinach, with asparagus and sliced tomatoes. My husband ordered the red snapper. We were very pleased with our selections. I recommend the appetizer called the Coquille St. Jaques (i think thats how it was spelled) which is sauteed scallops and shrimp with creamy potatoes in a creamy mushroom sauce. The scallops were very tender, not rubbery. We came here to eat on a whim because I was craving seafood and they really delivered. I did not get to try any dessert. There is a very good wine and spirits menu with a variety of options. We will definitely make room for dessert next time!

Food is underwhelming overpriced it tastes like a cheap cruise meal or banquet dinner. The views of the marina are nice the restaurant feels fancy but don't waste your money.

I just have to say this, if you've been to Opus Ocean Grille, then you'll love Opus, bistro as well!!! It is more of a steakhouse, but the food is exact, same quality and to the highest standards. We love this place and dine their regularly with family and friends, wait staff is friendly. The owner is fantastic and it's a great experience.
