Opus Lounge Srq - Sarasota

The food at this restaurant is excellent, but the noise level is way too high! The chatter of other guests was already disruptive, but it was made even worse by the addition of loud music. My dining partner and I couldn't even have a proper conversation due to the noise.

Don't judge a book by its cover - this hidden gem is a must-visit! The restaurant is stunning and roomy, so even when it's busy, you can still have a cozy chat with your neighbor. And the food? It's absolutely fantastic! I've tried nearly everything on the menu, and it's all delicious. And let's not forget about the impeccable service! Make sure to grab a seat at the bar for the best cocktails in Siesta. This place offers the complete dining experience. You won't be disappointed.

Wow! This bartender at the restaurant really impressed us! From delicious drinks to recommending items on the menu, he made our first visit memorable. I tried the lamb shank with polenta (so tasty), but the real highlight was the perfectly grilled octopus starter. We will definitely be returning!

Not sure what this restaurant wants to be ... a high energy lounge bar or high end restaurant? Piped in music is way too loud, acoustics need to be adjusted so diners can have conversation. Not sure if this is regularly happening but a live singer performance occurred while we we there again way too loud!! Food presentation overall taste lacking burnt, undercooked even bland. When the "catch of the day "entree was incorrectly described by the server then served undercooked, we knew we would not be returning to this establishment.

I want to start with the good. The service was amazing. The decor and setting was impeccable. It is about the food. I want to give this restaurant another shot. If you're going to serve grilled octopus, it had better be fresh grilled. Sous vide is fine , but taken to extreme , it will make octopus rubbery and hard. Either take it off the menu , or keep working on it before you serve it. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection. This is just a precaution
