Opus - Restaurant Review

A little late writing this.  I think we went here about 3 weeks ago, but with Ironman and everything, I have been a bit busy.  This will basically be a food porn post.  The restaurant was spectacular and the bill was our highest to date.  It seems that the 5280 list is very highly correlated between price and quality so far.  This is good in that you don't get ripped off, but the flip side is there are no screaming deals.

An amuse-bouche from the chef, Salmon Tartar:



Crispy Pork Belly
baked rhubarb, ginger froth, phyllo napoleon


Crab Duet: Hot and Cold
pecan crab cake, hollandaise foam, jumbo lump crab, tomato gelee


Pan Seared Goat Cheese Gnocchi
prosciutto broth, Rocky Ford melon , prosciutto chips



Pan Roasted Black Cod “Butterfish”
nori, watermelon, miso butter, summer radish



This is the Lamb Tenderloin special that was not on the menu





The following are 3 different desserts











The service was spectacular, the restrooms were clean.  The waiter was also very wine knowledgeable.  If this restaurant was downtown Denver, it would probably be one of the best known restaurants in Colorado.  I give this dining experience an A+.  Best place I have tried so far.

Happy Dining!
