Opus

the atmosphere is very welcoming, the staff are attentive, but in an unobtrusive way, and the food is historic! We enjoyed a very pleasant meal, in lovely surroundings and would highly recommend it for a special night out.

The veal from the specials menu was delicious, and although my husband was a little worried at the size of his main course, the portion was just right! All of the food was beautifully presented, and nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff who were happy to bone the Dover Sole.

A fantastic meal - I can't wait to go again!

sorry ! but i have to disagree with your review ! i think opus is a lovely restaurant with a great menu and very well executed cooking style ! on top of that the head chef is french (olivier perrard).

you are surly one of them lady who is never satisfied and instead having a good time and talking about a future with your boy F ,you have so little to say so you making conversation about the food to fill the gap! and to be honest you must have placed your order wrong because between "bleu et bien cuit "if you get that !there is a big difference!

anyway poeples opus is good and you 'll love the food and the wine liste

My boyfriend and I went to Opus last Saturday 8th March 2008. We were impressed with the surroundings and also with how friendly the staff were. The restaurant is clean, modern and we thought this was going to be a fantastic evening. However, this was not to be. My starter was goats cheese with beetroot salad and onion jam. I felt the goats cheese should have been warm. Instead it was cold and stuck to the roof of my mouth. Then came the main course which unfortunately was no better. I asked for a BLUE fillet steak. I have previously eaten in restaurants such as Jessica's and Purnells whereby when you request your steak to be a certain temperature you get just that. At £22 for the main course the very least i expected was a rare steak but instead it was medium to well cooked. I was very disappointed and did not enjoy my meal at all. We decided to skip dessert, get the bill and leave. I shall never go to Opus again and i shall definitely not be recommending this place to anybody! To be quite honest I think the food was very poor considering the hype surrounding this restaurant.

I find it incredible that Opus has been given a Michelin guide recommendation. Maybe in a few years things might improve, you never know.

Possibly the worst restaurant ive ever been to.

No atmosphere, stuffy, no music, no fun at all.

Over priced - for cold food, fatty steaks, tiny portions of veg - i counted 4 small carrots in the bottom of the dish, soda water £3.00.

Complete rip off and 100% let down.

Annoying waiters who come over every 5 seconds to fill up your water glass or to re arrange your napkin. Extremely annoying when your trying to have an intimate dinner.

Possibly the finest restaurant in Brum. The quality of food is on a par with some of the best restaurants in London. Still can't fault it after our 6th visit. If you love a fine red wine go for the Stellenbosch K.

Seriously classy but not stuffy restaurant, with gorgeous food, fantastically attentive but subtle service and a great wine list. It worked equally well for the romantic meal for two when I was first taken here, and for the group meal for twelve when we were seated at a large round table - the exemplary service came into its own on this second visit with all food served at the same time and piping hot - beautifully prepared. Will be returning frequently!
