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

    Food was good not awesome. Service was good and attentive. $188 for a two shared meals and $7 per oyster was not a great value for a restaurant next to the sea. Would I go there again, maybe

    Phenomenal service! The staff was extremely attentive and very friendly. The Mussels À La Pernod were absolutely stellar; they provide plenty of garlic seasoned bread to mop up the flavorful sauce. The Grilled Caribbean Seafood Mix was fresh and properly cooked, with the pasta perfectly prepared. The presentation was exciting and there was good seafood to pasta ratio. Clams & Linguine Al Bianco was amazing as well, the clams were fresh and sauce flavorful. There was a good selection of wine, beer, and spirits to fit any price point. The ambience was intimate, and we could carry on a conversation easily. Groups of all sizes were present, and everyone had a smile on their face and seemed to be enjoying themselves. The blueberry cheesecake was very good, and the presentation lovely. Put this restaurant on your must visit list, you will not be disappointed!

    We were amazed of the brightness and Mediterranean smell of the restaurant opening the beautiful door, welcomed by a really nice young man, who showed us to our table in the center of the restaurant. Soon we were assisted in selecting drinks and dishes. Wonderful martinis were served. The starters came and very timely our delicious entrees were served. Every tasted awesome and the service was top notch.

    Didn’t have several items on the menu & when we did get the mussels appetizer, they came out cold with stale bread (which was supposed to be sourdough).
