Went to Opus Bistro for dinner with my husband. The restaurant was busy but we managed to get a table. I must compliment then on their service - the staff went above and beyond to make it a very enjoyable evening! Sadly the food did not quite live up to expectations of a restaurant that has won so many awards.I had the escargot (not on the menu but they brought it in from their Spanish restaurant next door). It was delicious with a peppery sauce that was unusual but fantastic. The accompanying bread was however too crunchy to dip in the sauce. My husband had the arancini which he said were good. My cod with steamed vegetables (and added mash potatoes ) was lovely but the sauce was a bit bland and could have done with more lemon tang. The rib eye steak was well.cooked but very thin. Enjoyable but nothing special.The real disappointment was dessert. It said crepe suzette but it was nothing like the real thing. Luke warm pancake with very artificial tasting gloopy orange sauce and odd tasting ice cream. The tiramisu was watery and the cake layer soggy.What a pity it didn't live up to expectations.
