It's kind of touristy but the location is perfect which is next to the lake with the beautiful view. The food for lunch may not be swiss, so I recommend you to come here for coffee or just for a break. I the morning, you will see the nice view with less people.

Food was good and the ambiance nice. However the waiter was quite passive aggressive and rude to our table. He would just walk away when we tried to order multiple times, he had no patience.

Nice location, but the restaurant is a little touristy and not very Swiss. Service was good and they got us a nice table. Beef Tartar was not that good for CHF 30, maybe too many ingredients and flavors.

We went to this place for drinks and we have been waiting for over 40 minutes for a drink. After reminding the waiter, we received the drinks and 15 minutes later we received the bill and were told to leave (in a very impolite way) because they were suddenly closing. Would have been more friendly to apologise for the fact that they forgot about our order and to tell us that they were about to close anyways.

VERY bad service! We were waiting for the menu for a 15 minutes, the waiter (black one) just completely ignored us running around and paying 0 attention. Then his colleague finally brought us the menu but never took a order. We've been waiting for other 10-15 mins and just left. There are much better and cheaper places just across the river. Don't spend your time and money for such a rude place!

Amazing location but horrible service and menu. We asked for breakfast and the answer was “we don’t have breakfast”. We asked if they have anything to eat and she said croissants. We got excited and asked for options and the options were plain croissant and whole-wheat. I asked for coffee with plant milk, they don’t have it. I asked for orange juice and they don’t have fresh. I asked for tap water and she said “ok but we charge tap water here”. Wow! It just kept getting worse and worse.
The croissant were very basic. Too bad for this great location ...

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

Probably the most disappointing fine dining experience that I've had.
The food is okay but lacks a "wow" factor. The plates all seem to have one consistency... Mushy.
We were a party of 2 on new years eve, we ordered the parsnip puree, scallops, bison tenderloin, strip loin, sea buthorne mousse. We originally went for the sea bass but they were sold out. (note that there was also a special menu available for that evening and the sea bass is a regular item... Also note that the menu on the website was not the same as in restaurant).
The parsnip puree had to be shaken out of the teapot

Crazy expensive menu! Good coffee though. It’s a nice place to sit and watch the tourists. We could also hear the choir from the nearby church. View of the lake is nice!

This is a top notch fine dining restaurant where everything works to perfection: reception, service, food, all perfect. Our group had steak, elk, and cod main courses, all excellent. The squash soup and the scallops appetizers were also excellent, as were the donuts, ice cream and creme brûlée deserts. Absolute perfection with commensurate prices, about $70 per person without alcoholic beverages. Highly recommended, if you can afford it. $15 valet parking,

My husband and I first visited Opus over a decade ago and although we liked the food a lot, we unfortunately had a bad service experience. Our server's attitude shifted as soon as he found out that we were not ordering a bottle of wine (my husband had requested a couple of wines by the glass), and remained surly throughout the evening. My husband was so put off that he refused to give them another chance, for all this time. I really wanted to try it again, because I loved the decor, ambiance, and food. I finally convinced him to give it another shot a couple of weeks ago and I am so glad that

Opus has by far the most extensive wine list in the Toronto area which is a big achievement considering the difficulty of getting fine wins in Ontario. The food is standard New-American/Canadian fare that is designed around complimenting fine wine pairings. The service is good and interior of the restaurant is clean, classic, modern American. My only critique would be that some of the really high-end wines outshine the food but hey, you're there to enjoy the wine no?

Well in all honesty, I'm not sure how to rate this experience.

I last dined here several years ago and had a positive experience overall, with the food as well as the service.

I recently dined here for a group dinner, and my experience did not live up to the memory of the last visit, nor the expectations of what I was anticipating.

We dined in the private room, which is partitioned off from the main dining room; however, it was still quite noisy and disruptive during our meeting.

We were presented with a set menu with appetizer choices of the salsify bisque with white truffle honey and

Recently went to this restaurant and had a very disappointing experience. We had made reservations...yet we felt that we were pushed to the bottom of the list as others who were seated after us were served before us. What Toronto restaurants fail to realize, service is probably 50% or more of the experience. We waited over an hour between appetizers and main courses even though our orders were given all at once. My halibut was dried out, having sat under a heat lamp too long (the plate was hot!). My guests also didnt enjoy their meals. Although we indicated that we had waited over an hour for our

Opus is AH-MAZING !! If you are a wine lover do not miss your opportunity to dine here!! Their wine list is ridiculous and they are one of only 60 restaurants in the world to receive a special accommodation with regard to their wines.

The food is also delicious. The foie gras is to die for.
We would come back here in a hot minute!

An excellent restaurant where the owner and staff truly understand the meaning of fine dining. The ambience is perfect for a special occasion or a date night with folks who appreciate food and class.
My options for dinner were: foie gras, red deer venison (special) and to finish off a salted caramel chocolate torte.
Foie gras was beautifully cooked and presented with a melt in your mouth texture that left me and my colleagues wiping the plate clean with the fresh bread provided. The venison was definitely an adventurous options but there were no regrets there as it was cooked very well and made

This is my second time to dine in Opus, again excellent service and high quality of food and wine does not disappoint me! The oyster from PEI are so fresh, way better than most oyster places, but it is on the more expensive side of the price. The steak is well cooked at medium rare, and my blackened tuna is so amazing. We also had the snow crab meat with radish for app, the portion of snow crab meat is very good! I will go again next time to try out their other entree

Low ceilings and interiors aren't consistent. Not what I'd expect from a higher end restaurant. Unattentive wait staff. The food was overall subpar. Burrata cheese dish was terrible and sloppy. My tuna main course was extremely underwhelming. The entire experience was extremely underwhelming.

I went here once in August due to it being right next to my high school where I was of course going to go back to in a week. Opus sits perfectly in Yorkville, though it is not inexpensive. Around $70 CAD per person if you don't include alcohol. Speaking of alcohol, they have an amazing wine list that spans across the entire globe over the course of 90 pages. I knew that I would not get the the Petrus 1963 wine which cost over $40,000 CAD.

Cuisine: Innovating European fine dining with slight Canadian twists. The best of it's kind in the city.

My husband and I were in the neighbourhood, we used Yelp to find a restaurant for dinner and we were delighted with our choice. We had the fresh oysters appetizer - the red wine mignonette sauce was delicious and I am not that fond of mignonette sauce. My husband had the venison and I had the prime strip loin. I like my steak medium rare and it was done perfectly. My husband's venison was melt in your mouth tender. For dessert, we shared the chocolate truffle tort with whites chocolate ice cream. The chocolate flavour was very intense - which was a good thing. The service was attentive without

Appetizer
we had the risotto and the snow crab and artichoke
the risotto had very good flavour they had popcorn pieces added to it which was different but in a good way. The crab and artichoke was light and pleasing a perfect start to our dinner.

Mains
Venison and Grouper
Portions are perfect size
The venison was very tender and flavourful
Grouper was light with great flavour as well

Dessert
We had the most delectable dessert: the chocolate soft cake and black cherry on dolce de leche. It was so light and fluffy and with the perfect amount of sweetness to it. Perfect end to dinner.

The best Foie Gras in town! Valentines dinner and can't wait to come back again.

Appetizers:
Foie Gras over mapled apples on a bed of delicious current puree sauce. Had to restrain ourselves from ordering another before our main entrees. The snow crab appetizer followed suit which was also shelled and paired nicely with an artichoke salad.

Specials:
We selected the PEI oysters which were served nicely with a tasty shallot vinaigrette and the usual toppings. Very fresh and not too wild of a taste.

Mains:
Rack of Lamb: cooked medium and was perfect! I dislike eggplants and Opus was kind

First time visiting Opus. Had some preconceived notions about it being stuffy and super swank. But the service from each staff member was lovely, extremely competent, warm & very welcoming. The wine list is literally a book that runs the gamut up to $5000+ bottles of wine. We didn't feel obligated to keep up with the Joneses, so to speak, and asked for a wine around $100 that complimented the tasting menu. The tasting menu was fantastic (see photos & descriptions)! Very nice for a special occasion. Only negative would be the clientele- some typical, loud, boorish big-spenders in there
