  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
An intimate local family ran restaurant in the heart of Oranjestad, fresh world-class seafood, prime steaks,
and unparalleled service in a vibrant, up-scale setting.

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

    Arrived for our 7:30 res. Took 10 minutes to be seated then no one came by our table and we left after 15 minutes. No one even noticed. No parking anywhere near the restaurant.

    Excellent service in a really nice setting. Our grouper with octopus was excellent. Don’t split the Caesar salad as it’s very small. Great experience.

    The weight staff bent over backwards to make our meal and experience pleasurable. Unfortunately, the food was average and so I didn’t feel there was much value to the meal and I probably wouldn’t go back. My mixed grill for $68 had one shrimp, one scallop, a small piece of fish, and a small Caribbean lobster along with clam shells that had no clams in them.  Despite the lovely ambiance I would not visit again.
