Opus Restaurant in Toronto

I m blown away by this restaurant in Toronto. Service was great and the food was superb! High quality and very tasty. Highly recommend it!

Local great

Absolutely divine cuisines, serene atmosphere, and cozy lounge and bar.

Had the pleasure to come and dine at this fine place. They had all the best wine in stock and we cannot wait to come back!

My son spoke highly of opus, so on a recent visit from Scotland to visit my son, I had the pleasure of enjoying an exceptional ribeye steak. The staff demonstrated remarkable friendliness and professionalism, with the manager even taking the time to educate me on the intricacies of red wine.

Both dishs amazing at Opus!

Amazing dinner experience, impressive wine menu and great service staff. Probably one of Canada s best restaurants.

Food was good and the service was excellent . Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food : 4/5 |

Opus is a hidden gem, where the food is more than food; it s art. Each bite was a blend of unique flavours, and the food was presented in a beautiful way. The service was stellar. This type of service is above and beyond, and I find it s rare these days. Our servers Massimo and Bob were wonderful and attentive, and surpassed our expectations. Bob was with us for the majority of the night and his passion for his job shows. The owner also came by to check on us and he was warm and friendly. He genuinely seemed happy to be there. While I think some of the decor could use an update, I would absolutely recommend dining here for a culinary experience. Must-try. Opus, you will have return customers in me and my family!

Beautiful place amazing chef

Ive enjoyed dining at Opus for over 23 years. Unfortunately Opus needs no introduction at all. You simply go and enjoy the art of food, wine and dining out.

I had not been to this restaurant in a long time because of the pandemic and getting restarted. It was a wonderful evening. I was in a group of six people who all had different things. The food was wonderful. The service is excellent. It is a beautiful elegant atmosphere where you can talk and be heard. I did not leave many reviews

Awesome restaurant, menu, staff !!!

Best foie gras in North America!!!

Perfect place! Delicious foods. Excellent service. Great ambience. We had a perfect time.

Calling all Wine and Food lovers!!! This is a a true 5 star restaurant! An absolutely elegant place to eat with loved ones. The staff make you feel comfortable and can educate you on wine and pairings as needed. The environment is classy but not pretentious. Do yourself a favor - Put on a nice outfit and go for dinner, you wont regret you did.

We went there for dinner before a piano concert played on a $300k instrument. They were the perfect match. Opus had an adventurous menu of classics touched with contemporary refinements. The wine list is a wine book... and a NYT best seller at that. Looking for a romantic meal, a business conclave or a meal to remember? Trust Opus.

Really great place for a perfect dinner with your loved one.

I was with a large group. My fish meal was not very good. The fish was rubbery and very hard to cut. The risotto with it was good but a small serving. I was not impressed.

The wine list and by list I mean a small booklet of amazing selections, is a gem. There is no way you cant find something to enhance your meal. The bartender Luca was amazing the sommelier was spectacular and knew every inch of the list and was an absolute pleasure to speak with not only about wine but also bourbons. The bison special was great. This will definitely be a place I will visit on my next trip to Toronto.

This place is way below average, Im not even sure how it qualifies as fine dining. Service is slow and portions are miniscule. Presentation and flavour are both underwhelming. Its embarrassing. I was here with a group in the private dining room so maybe they just cant handle large rooms but its thats the case dont offer it.

You can relax here and enjoy great food. Very attentive service without being fussed over. Parking: Off Bedford Street North of Bloor.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped make this experience great. I took my friend here for her birthday and we enjoyed our time very much so. We had to postpone our reservation three times that night due to traffic setbacks, etc. With that being said, they were so kind enough to do so, and still seat us in a private corner booth area. When we walked in, they knew who I was, and I kind of felt bad because I m sure they knew who I was with all the setbacks of the reservation, but they snickered about it, kind of like a brush off the shoulder as in you re here now and everything s OK. They took our jackets elegantly and proceeded to put them in coat check and lead us to our seat. The energy of the hosts and the servers, just in general the whole house staff was really accommodating and kind. We had some oysters for the first time, and they were so kind enough to make a small portion of risotto, even though it wasn t on the menu. My friend ordered a steak and said she absolutely loved it. Overall, I m just really happy about the treatment and the service of this establishment. Thank you for making it a wonderful time for me and my friend on her birthday.

This meal was awesome, especially because someone else paid for me. Very swanky place. Maitre D had a European accent, held my coat for me when I put it on, and had a Rolex. Pretty sure it was real. Five stars !

Best of the best

Friendly staff, the Chef made every plate taste and look phenomenal. Mario is AMAZING he is THE wine master. Quality food as well as quality interactions between you and the staff (and even the tables next to me had great guests) makes you really feel appriciated for being there. Definitely 10/10 recommend.

The meals that dreams are made of... havent had this in nearly a decade. Even better than I remembered. As ever, the staff are fantastic, the atmosphere sublime, and another memory to cherish. Thanks to you all!

Did not live up to the hype. Went for a BD celebration. Salads were fine. 2 of us ordered Fish. One was almost inedible. The fluke was bland and whatever it was on....couldnt eat it. The other was the Halibut which was just bland. Rack of lamb and Venison were fine... Service was truly mediocre at best. Worst part was at the end of the meal, one of the servers walked by and had clearly been out smoking a cigar...absolutely stunk and carried this through the restaurant. Not the best way to end a meal. For the price....would not recommend

Excellent food excellent service, highly recommend

I couldn t believe that the manager here asked us to leave our table when my daughter was just crying a bit in a normal volume in roughly 10 seconds. For god s sake, we are in the middle of our meal and he just came to ask us to change a table? We have been to a lot of restaurants here in dt Toronto, none are as kids-unfriendly as like them. If you have kids, don t come here, they will be super mean to you and your kids. Remeber the name OPUS, a restaurant with hostility because of unknown reasons to kids.

Such a nice vibe. Staff is extremely polite. Food is delicious. It s a very unique and nice location. I was treated with nothing but kindness and respect. A lovely cuisine to indulge in when visiting Toronto. Some of the best salmon I ve ever had.

Too long away from Opus. Great meal and service as always. Thank you Mario and staff. If you have not been to Opus you don t know what you are missing. Truly Toronto s finest. Our Swiss friends were impressed and that is not easy. We miss Tony.

I would give it 0 stars if I could. Bad service ! Only one server over there was nice.

Bring my girlfriend to celebrate her birthday here. Really bad service, can t judge if the manager has racist to Asian people or not because we are the only Asians who had dinner tonight here. Really bad experience here, the manager saw we called him but he ignored. In addition, the manager never asked us if we are okay with the food and he didn t serve us any dessert after the entrees. When we were ready to pay, he just threw the bill and post machine on the table and without saying any words. Never gonna come again.

Really bad service, the manager here has a serious racial discrimination for Asian people. He had really nice conversation with other western people but just ignored this table. We showed our politeness every time when someone came to serve us. Even we wave to call the manager when he saw us, he chose ignoring us. Some waiters pretend that they don t understand what we were saying, even we don t have obvious accents. I ve been to many French style restaurants but first time in Toronto, won t be here anymore. Also, I will tell every friend of mine don t have meals here.

I had a terrible experience here because: - I came to a friend s birthday which had a pre-set menu. No prices. I asked what s the price? Waiter answered: this restaurant has no prices. ???? - did not allow separate bills - my old fashioned was so bad, I had to send it back - lamb cuts had extra fat, wasn t seasoned well. I had to stop eating after 3 bites. I also usually finish all my food - tartare costs 38? - I told the waiter twice that I m gluten free, he still served me floured cake - waiter served me two sorbets as gluten replacement. Both were the worst ice creams I ve ever had in my life

Best food venue I ever experienced, the owners are involved in day to day operations. Strongly recommend. Pricey.

Spectacular

Was supposed to be great evening since it was our anniversary but a misunderstanding if I can call it that by the so called sommelier/GM made us regret every second we spent there & on top of that we were called all kinds of names coz Me GM wont listen nor understand what we were saying.

This is one of the few remaining restaurants in Toronto where the service is still excellent food and wine is top notch

Bait and Switch! Website advertises a set of prices. Download-able October menu advertises higher prices. At the restaurant even higher prices. For example, the Striploin. On the website, $49. On downloaded menu, $65. At the restaurant, $80. And the beef was overcooked and rubbery! Website also advertises valet parking. There is none! Worst meal we have ever had! Overpriced wine list, poorly prepared food. And dont forget the false advertised prices. Parking: There is NO valet parking!

Great venue, intimate and lovely dining experience. The food was intricate and made superbly, with fresh ingredients and textured blend of flavours. I came with a group of friends and dinner was great. I ordered the venison which was prepared just right, with the sauce not overpowering the entire dish. I started with the burrata and figs which was refreshing and light. One of my friends told me she feels their foes gras is hands down the best she has ever had, including in Paris. Service was detailed, timely and right on the mark. Its really a hidden gem in the city, tucked in Yorkville. I think its a great place overall for date night or a more special work gathering. Recommend!

Amazing staff, great food, and lovely ambiance. The food gets better and better every time I go. Jason is an amazing chef!

Celebrated my wife s birthday there. Excellent food, the lamb is so juicy and perfectly cooked

Good Service

Service and food, amazing !!!

Five stars are not enough for this place. Food is amazing!

Everything was absolutely amazing. Service, food, drinks, everything. Tony took amazing care of us for the evening.

Beautiful food, great service ... Thanks Tony

Opus is a place for high-end dating or people who enjoy good meat or wine. Very good steak and iberico pork. The starters (Burrata and Tagliatelle) were rather weak and the desert was catastrophic. Friendly service.

One of the most immaculate meals Ive had in Toronto. The steak is their signature dish, I cannot recommend it enough.

Great food, working with wonderful local products and attentive professional service. Big wine list

This is probably one of my favourite restaurants. Everything from the appetizer to dessert was absolutely perfect. Always recommend this place to my friends and family for a special dinner. The seared foie gras simply melts in your mouth. Lemon meringue was gorgeous and tasted amazing too!

The food was so so, service was not great. Menu was completely different from the one advertised online as well as the prices. Too expensive and not worth it at all.

The food is amazing at Opus. The menu changes daily. The staff makes you feel right at home. You can t leave without trying the desserts.

Great dinner, the chef made me a pasta dish that was fantastic! Great evening, thank you.

Never a bad experience. Great food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent wine cellar with a fairly good menu, delicious food. highly recommended

An expensive let down. We had reservations and our table was not ready upon arrival. After a few minute wait we were seated and informed that 2 of the items on the menu were already sold out for the evening (one of those items were the reason we had selected this restaurant). We noted that the menu is different than the one posted on their website. Food either lacked salt or was a salt bomb. Service started off good and quickly plummeted. Had to ask them to take our main order. Food arrived in a timely manner. Afterward we decided to order a digestif for dessert. The waiter returned with our drink and stated they were out of what we ordered and the one above it was more expensive so he just picked something that was the same price. I dont think that was his call to make. Someone else said it, no wow factor here. Disappointed given the history and location.

I had a business meeting in Toronto yesterday and was searching for a good restaurant. I found Opus through a colleague and it didnt disappoint. Food was amazing (ask for the tasting menu), but the most impressive part of the experience was the service and the attention by the owner (Tony). Im a lifetime New Yorker and also a former restaurant owner and I would rate Opus right there with some of the best eateries that Ive ever been to. Bravo Tony. MM PS the Lemongrass dessert was to die for.

Great food, super nice brothers who own and run it. Amazing wine list. Not too loud which makes it great for work or romantic dinners

Greatest collection of servers I have ever had the pleasure to meet. The food was the best Ive ever had and well worth the money.

A very pleasant and nice restaurant for fine dining. The restaurant itself has a very pleasant and romantic atmosphere which makes it a nice choice if you re looking to take that special someone for dinner ;) Coming in, we were greeted by the host who took our jackets for us, and seated inside by the staff right after. Our server was very pleasant, and definitely very knowledgable about the menu as he was explaining new special items they had and also on any food items we asked about. He made good recommendations as I was looking for a sweeter drink and he offered this martini that definitely hit the spot. We were still unsure of our order but he was okay with coming back every few minutes to ensure we were ready. Their dinner menu as a good selection of appetizers, and main courses that will even suit vegetarians. What they re also really known for is the selection of wine (it s a whole book)! For our appetizers, i really enjoyed the seared foie gras as it came in a sweet apple sauce that perfect blended together. I ordered one of the specials which was red deer meat (which was also my first time trying), and it was quite pleasant. Our server recommended it to be medium rare which I was sceptical at first since I usually order medium, but it turned out he was right! Personally, I thought the portions were just right where you would feel full but not stuffed, so I wouldn t have any complaints. We wanted photos taken and Tasha/ another server helped us take the best photos possible which also made the experience and night even better. Thank you for a lovely night!

Amazing food , friendly staff

My favorite wine Tignanello

great service

Very good food and service, went with my nephew for his 25th birthday, a place that his grandfather frequented, and the owner and servers all told him stories about his grandfather when he was a guest. Very good and welcoming! Well done!

Chef Jason Cox was a miserable man, while the food was good he gave off the whole yells at staff members in front of guests vibe. He smells like he s been drinking, but maybe that s what he has to do to make the food good.

Very flavourful food, cooked to perfection and well seasoned. Interesting combinations, best dessert of of life.

One of top restaurants in Toronto, dining here is always pure pleasure!

Always wonderful meals and service.

Nice atmosphere and service. Food is good especially the tuna steak.

One of the best meals I have had. We went for my birthday and I ordered the red deer dish they had on the menu at the time...OMG. So delicious and rich and flavourful. A wonderful restaurant, very upscale, perfect for special events!

Made reservations for my grandfather and I for 9:30pm. We had trouble finding the place. However, the attendant who answered the phone was very helpful in giving me directions. From the moment we arrived, Manuel the attendant helped us park our car and assisted in helping my grandfather into the restaurant. The ambiance was pleasant and the food was delicious. We had the aged prime striploin on mushroom couscous with parsley and garlic. Then for dessert we had flourless chocolate cake. Our waiters were friendly and helpful and so were the rest of the staff. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was very pleasant and accomodating. We highly recommended this place and we will definitively be coming back.

Amazing wine list, one of the tip in the world. If you are a wine lover you absolutely need to go. The food was fantastic as well. My husband took me for my birthday and it just so happened the owner was there that night and he offered to give us a tour of his cellar. He was so passionate about wine, truly an amazing guy to talk to. The service overall was amazing. I will be back.

Service was pretty good. Beef was exceptional but fish was not impressive. Very unique line of dishes. Very quiet and good place for celebration

Its very atmospheric. I didnt plan to have such a romantic meal that day, so I ended up wearing jeans. All the customers next to me were in suits. Bulabulas restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. There are some elderly grandparents, very gentlemanly people, who come to eat together. Lamb chops are a must! There s no smell at all and it s very tender! Its a little burnt outside. The steak is also good but not as amazing as the lamb chops. The foie gras is also very tender and paired with apples, which neutralizes the greasy feeling. The sweet and salty Carmel tart is rich with black chocolate. The fruit ice is smooth but smooth. The lemon flavor is so lemony !

The restaurant had a great wine list -including some exclusive Bordeaux names. The menu was pretty standard, food was good but wasn t amazing. Would come here again for the wine list and business meetings.

Food and service were excellent. Great selection of wines and Champagnes. Try the rack of lamb.

Excellent service & food melts in your mouth, very delicious!

The food and service is top notch, very comfortable seating with an amazing atmosphere for business or a date. The best wine list in Canada and the sommelier knows his stuff!

Best service Special thanks to Our bartender Tasha

Very nice a bitv expensive

The restaurant was great. Service was attentive but I find the food to just good. Everything is cooked perfectly but there wasn t that wow factor. Overall, a great place to go.

There very tender and juicy.

Excellent

Good vibes

good

Great food and great service

I think we might have visited on an off night as my experience felt rather inconsistent. Our food took quite some time to arrive and the waiter gave us a very specific ETA which was wildly off. The food was fine, most of it really flavourful, but one of our side dishes was practically untouched because it was extremely plain and flavourless. The server(s) never asked how things were, why we didnt like it, etc and it was just added to the bill without a word. (I think everyones bills were incorrect in our party of 6.) The wine list was great, as were the wine recommendations. From the other reviews, I think we perhaps just visited on an off night and Id be willing to visit again or recommend for a night out, but had to be honest with my experience.

I went to the Opus with my girlfriend, as we visited Toronto. The wait staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. We both had specials. I had the Australian grass fed sirloin, which was easily one of the best cuts of meat Ive ever had. She had the champagne roasted fluke, which was one of the best peices of fish shed had. After, we ordered a creme brulee, and it was very good as well. The price was not out of the ballpark when the quality of food is accounted for. If I come back to Toronto, Ill come back to Opus.

Great resto good people

Great ambience , great service and great food.

Came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend, very exquisite, expensive though but worth it!

Great service, good food.

Very very good. Need a bank to pay.

Had the rack of lamb and creme brulee. To die for. More wine selection than the LCBO.

Incredible experience every visit. Tony and Mario are the best hosts in Toronto. A must see.

Outstanding service, and food too

Great food great service

Perfect execution of modern European cuisine. An astonishingly diverse wine list from an immaculately maintained wine cellar.

Intimate setting, amazing food and impeccable service.

Great time at opus Top Notch service. Most incredible selection of wines . Try the Cod its the best in the city!!!

Good food and really attentive but not overbearing service. Had the caviar which was great but the blinks were a bit too thick and took away from the caviar. My fish dish was OK in terms of taste but my partner s was better. Service was what really stood out. Also a good place for those who want to stay low key.

Fantastic!

If you love wine and fine dining, Opus is a must. They have one of the most impressive wine collections we ve seen, and each menu item is as delicious as it is beautiful and can be paired with a suitable wine. The fois gras was a first for me, but if you re going to try it, try it here because it s crazy good. Oysters were fresher and better than any I ve had in Toronto to date. Quality food, wine & Service, we ll always be back!!!

What more needs to be said about this place... One of the best places to wine and dine in Toronto, might even Ontario... Excellent food, impeccable service.

Food is ok at best. Service was great

The owner is excellent at hosting customers. The variety of wines is endless. The food and the atmosphere are just great!

Excellent food and service great drinks the tuna was amazing

Meh-quality food, especially for the price

Beautiful place and atmosphere. And an excellent wine collection.

Good night

I made a reservation for our anniversary. First of all there was no celebration or acknowlement and engemend with us. Second when we entered the restaurant we werent welcomed. The waiter didnt introduce himself. No explanations about food. It was ok, but too expensive for the quality

Always a great spot for dinner. Until this year I did not even realise there was a back patio, but was pleasantly surprised when I went with a friend who also counts this among his Toronto favourites. I dont know why I even look at the menu as I always order the seared tuna which is perfect every time. I have brought guests from Chicago & LA who were impressed by this hidden little spot on Prince Arthur. Impressive wine list & the perfect spot to take clients or for a celebration or date.

Extremely extensive wine list. The service is luxury to another extent. You truly feel special when you dine here. The staff are well versed on the menu and wine selection. As well the management are very attentive and committed to every guest having an amazing experience. A nice some what hide away in the city when youre in the mood for a fine dining experience without the hustle and bustle of the more mainstream spots in Toronto.

The variety of wines is endless. The food and the atmosphere are just great!

My favorite restaurant anywhere (perhaps with the exception of Frenchie in Paris but thats on a different continent) . Service and food is always impeccable, it just never disappoints. Ive been maybe a dozen or so times over the years ( less lately as I just dont go out as much ) and have only had two different waiters. The wine list VERY large but the sommelier is always happy to help if its overwhelming. Just tell him what you like and around what you want to spend and theyll get you a great bottle. On the food side there is a pretty solid selection without trying to be too overly foodie ( I almost always get the game meat) they do switch it up. Though the foie gras never changes because it it just perfect the way it is... If I could have one appetizer for the rest of my life there would be no contest.

Great place , good food

Average menu, good execution

One of the best dining experiences Ive ever had. The food was incredible, the wine list was crazy good, and our waiter was a true professional. Such a pleasure to spend time with friends in such a great spot.

Best wine selection in the city and some pretty tasty food as well.

Amazing food and some of the best service you will experience

Best foie gras in the world! Awesome wait staff, great lighting also. A must visit in Toronto

They cook foie gras with dried chives, a big no-no

Their wine selection is impressive. Great for an intimate dinner with your significant other and tiny group, the food is divine and is best when youre able to appreciate the subtle flavours. A nice quiet Sunday night with good food and good company where a select few tables are occupied suit me just fine. A patio is available and very nice as well.

Amazing wine list! The food was good - not great! But if you are a wine aficionado its the place to go! I had cod. Nothing to phone home about. A nice place to hang with friends. Amazing service. I will definitely be back but will have to spend more time with the food menu and maybe update the rating.

I always have an incredible dining experience every time. The Italian berrata, so delicious. Caribou and chicken are to die for. Most fantastic service start to finish, feel right at home. Thank you Opus!

Great food and atmosphere and good people working here

Great food. Amazing service and people.

I had the Venison Special The meat melted in my mouth Honestly I am still thinking about that meal Staff where top notch! Only concern is more of a concern that the Male Employee ratio far out ways the female Employee ratio Hmmm

Was at a private party in a private room and it was lovely. Fine food with exceptional service and extensive wines you would want to drink. Despite a rambunctious group the staff were efficient and accommodating.

The service and food is stellar here.

Fantastic experience

Fantastic service and delicious food, this is a dream restaurant for any foodie. Great selection of wine too, so come and spend the evening.

Great spot for discreet stargazing.

Quite easily among the absolute best places to eat in Toronto. The menu is classy, delicate. Service is top-notch. Its a bit swanky, but worth every cotton picking penny you spend here. One visit and Im now a rabid fan.

The best food in Toronto hands down.

Its like going to Cheers except better service and food oh and the wine is tops.. Tony & Mario run a solid business and always remember your name!!

Discrete location, intimate atmosphere and a truly inspiring taste. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Pricey

The service is over the top! My favorite place to eat in Toronto. Blows Jacobs out of the water in my opinion. Tony and Mario, please keep up the great work! Thank you.

Great food, friendly staff, nice and clean, a good verity of wine selection. I have at so many restaurants and I would highly recommend this

We were a group of 8 last night and everyone had something different to eat. All excellent. Beautiful room. Cozy but tables well spaced. We could actually talk with each other and hear each other. This is good. And for once, I didnt see the check but we
