The perfect evening can be found at Opus One. I found out by a friend of mind that Opus One has tickets to all the shows in downtown Detroit. My wife wanted to see Legally Blonde for her birthday. I ordered the tickets from Pete at Opus One he got me fifth row center. When we arrived at Opus One for dinner, Rocky the Maitre’d seated us in a prime booth near the pianist. With the dinner theater package that Opus One offers we could choose four courses, soup, salad, entrée and dessert. In the package we also got a shuttle to the theater and back to the restaurant. Each course was perfect. I had the New England clam chowder, an Opus Romaine salad, Medallions of Beef with Maryland Blue Crab. My wife had the same thing except she opted for the seafood trio. Both entrees were cooked to perfection. When seven thirty came, Rocky escorted us to the shuttle. The driver took us to the Fisher Theater and my wife got her wish. The driver Cameron was there when the show was over and he took us back to Opus One for our dessert and an after dinner drink. My wife was happy and that made me happy. It could not have been more of a perfect evening thanks to Opus One. Pros: Great Service and Food Cons: a little noisy

I went to Opus a couple of weeks ago with a group of friends. Everything was amazing, we each ordered something different, and everything came out just as we had asked. I orded a the Rack of Lamb which was delicious, my friends ordered the Shrimp Helene, the Sea Food Trio and the Filet. There wasn't any food left on our plates, we still managed to make room for their decadent desserts. The prices seemed perfect for what we ordered. We will definitely be back! Pros: Fabulous menu and extensive wine list

This is restaurant that my husband and immediate family have frequented for more than 17 years. We have always enjoyed a wonderful and extensive wine list and paired with great dishes. The last couple of times the food has been horrible. My sister gave my fanily and friends gift certificates for Christmas and we have just used the last certificate and have all agreed that we would never be back. Tonight I had a good meal that the steak was cooked med instead of med rare, no big deal. My mother and nephew ordered rib eyes and it was very apparent both were different cuts of meat. My mothers was full og grissle and fat and at best could be used for soup stock. It was sent back to the kitchen only to return in three cut up pieces minus the grissle and fat. Totally unacceptable. The steak was sent bak and fish was ordered instead. She had to ask for a fork and we watched her finish her new meal we ordered coffee and cream and had to ask for a spoon to stir the coffee. The bill with a few martinis $210.00. Horrible waste of money. Clearly a trained chef is not working in this kitchen. My advice GO TO THE LARK / COACH INSIGNIA / MCDONALDS ETC. Pros: good wine list Cons: food quality

Been to this restaurant many times for business and for romance. Atmosphere is very warm. Food is exquisite. Service was very good. Menu is pricey, but worth it.

It was my anniversary and I wanted to create a formal atmosphere; I made reservations at Opus One by recommendation. Park your own car, valet svc is nice but we witnessed the valet bump someones nice vehicle. Could happen anywhere I guess. Your dining experience is only as good as your waiter. My waiter was David. Nice enough guy but due to a larger party next to us he paid more attention to them. Another waiter was kind enough to notice our many attempts to get his attention and got our drink orders. We wished he was our waiter(if mgmt is reading he was the blk guy - very attentive to his tables). Our dinner was good/not spectacular. My wife enjoyed her chicken and risotto- the risotto was FABULOUS. I thought the chicken was ok, kinda salty for my taste. I had King crab stuffed salmon. Maybe 3 microscopic pieces of crab inside. It was served over bed of rice and delicious sauce that saved the salmon. Needless to say two major points on rating a restaurant is service and food. Sanitation goes without saying. So everyone else seemed to enjoy this restaurant so I'd recommend it based on that. I'd probably not return unless invited or on business. If you're going to spend a good buck on food I recommend Sweet GA Brown, Seldom Blues or Andiamo's(any location) I've been to several. Lastly the manager is great. We noticed how he watched and was concerned about our experience. Made sure to come over and see if we liked our meal. He was even so kind as to increase the lighting(out of the blue) so that my wife and I could take a picture. That's good service. Pros: Ambience Cons: Price/Value

I love what they have done with their new menu. The Jazz Improvisation part of the menu allows us to create our own entree. We recently attended Opus One and my guests (who were very fussy) got exactly what they wanted by using the Jazz menu. They chosse their protein, vegetable, and starch, and how they wanted it cooked. They even choose their own sauces. I ordered one of their new dishes the Cowboy Steak with the coffee rub, it was the best steak that I have ever eaten. I have been back three times since and it only seems to get better.

This is a great place for detroit, but does not compare to bigger city restaurants. Prices are high, the food is good(not outstanding), Wine list is great.

Great place to eat. I have been there several times and have always been pleased. The food is more than great! I can't wait to go back. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing.

I'm not sure i would describe the menu as French, but it certainly is continental. Everything i had was excellent, and the service at my table was perfect. i found it slightly irritating that they started removing wine glasses from other (unoccupied) tables as early as 9:30 pm. Also, they offer a fruit and cheese plate as a dessert option. But the selection of cheeses was what could find at any supermarket. So i had the chocolate mousse torte, which was wonderful. as a single diner, i would have appreciate some half-bottles on the wine list, but the wines by the glass were excellent, and there was a pretty big assortment.
