Opus Bar and Grill

Came here on Sunday for my birthday celebration lunch with my family. Currently they are having an ala carte buffet, and there’s a promo, but we used the eatigo discount instead. Servers were all attentive, especially Aleacia, and they worked as a team to ensure our needs were met despite the fact we started lunch on the late side (1.30pm+) and the restaurant needed to close by 3.30pm, they were very accomodating. We ate our fill, and the quality of the food was good! Fave dishes were the crab soup, grilled fish, beef sirlion and brisket! The roast pork was popular due to the crispy skin. Sundae was also the fave for the chocolate fudge sauce. They will serve one round of all starters, mains, and sides, and then the table can send in additional orders. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere, and for my birthday Aleacia took a picture for us and printed it with a handwritten card. My SIL, also a Jan baby, also recieved a copy- which was such a nice surprise! Thank you to the opus team for helping make my birthday meal such a pleasant memory!

A quiet and wonderful place for dinner with food grilled to perfection. We ordered seafood platter, and because they ran out of lobster, they replaced it with an extra salmon and some prawns. On the platter were also scallops on their shell. We also ordered the least fattening beef on their menu, a flat iron steak. I was surprised it was not only grilled to perfection but also not tough. Accompanying the main dishes were two salads; Caesar and house salad with dressing on their menu side. I must say their salad and even beef dressings are fresh, interesting and tasty. Highlight of the day were the two desserts; strawberry rhubarb tart and jivara floral garden. The tart was an excellent collision of flavours, light, fruity and sweet tangy topped with edible flowers. The Valrhona choc lollipop gave a false impression of an ice cream as it was served in an ice cream stick. Visually expectation vs actual delivery made it a little disappointing as I did not read the dessert menu before hand. Nevertheless, the passion fruit balls lent a clear sour contrast to my heavy sweet dish and the edible flowers gave this dessert a pleasant end to the meal.

I had Christmas dinner here, food was fine but the servings are somewhat scanty especially fresh salmon portion; international choices was a handful for the price offered. However, the dessert was creative and tasty. On the side note, service level was disappointing even the place was not that crowded. Did not feel very welcoming instead you are there just for the food. Not jolly at all.

Dropped by for an early dinner (they open at 4pm) & had the Skewers & Sliders Stack along with the Paneer Butter Masala. Both dishes were delicious & surprisingly filling. The skewers & sliders were well executed, while the paneer was rich & nicely spiced. Overall, a solid & enjoyable meal in a relaxed yet polished hotel setting

Food is definitely great!!! We ordered Wagyu beef burgers, Seafood Linguine and Salmon. All are tasty and aromatic. We were served complimentary bread and pastry and they are equally tasty! Was being placed just next to the wine storage and it’s indeed an interesting sight as compared to the rest of the seats in the bar. We were given a complimentary delicious chocolate cake for my spouse's birthday. They also gifted us with our family photo that they have taken for us. It comes with a card that includes handwritten wishes. Such sincere gift and service is worth for any diners to dine here again! Used Eatigo app to get 50% discount. All is worthwhile!

Love the concept of the à la carte with free-flow offering. The consistency of the food quality could be improved though — I noticed the meats lost some tenderness in subsequent orders. Otherwise, it’s a good spot for a casual Sunday brunch.

It was a wonderful dining experience at the Opus Bar & Grill. My husband and I ended up coming to the restaurant for dinner two nights in a row. We enjoyed our food immensely especially the Sanchoku Wagyu Ribeye, the Boston Lobster and the signature cheese cake. To top this off, service was top notch, credit went to Bryan who had provided us with great service and welcoming warmth. We will definitely come back for more!

Opus Bar and Grill is very successful in keeping their restaurant empty. They offer 50% off on Eatigo and nice sets and deals on their website but they have no heart nor intention to serve. We came for the Skewers and Sliders Stack and the server said we needed to make a reservation for that. I showed him their website which didn’t have such a condition and he said he is aware, but we need to make a reservation because it takes the chef a long time to make it. I said the restaurant is quite empty so can the chef do it? He said can, but that will take 30mins to an hour. I said ok and ordered buffalo wings while waiting for the two sets which came in 45 mins. Buffalo wings was just a miserable plate with 4 mid-wings that I believe came from a frozen pack. The Skewers and Sliders Stack looked great but they tasted ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. They use rotten egg plants to make them into tempura (look like goreng pisang in the photos) because these were grey, soggy and smelly. Beef was raw, probably not properly defrosted and slider buns were cold. Chicken masala was also not properly cooked in the middle. They sent a junior server to me when I asked for the bill and she apologised. The manager simply stood far away to dissociate himself and was a statue as we walked past him our way out, with neither acknowledgement nor apology. I vomitted at home and another family member had an upset stomach. Will NEVER come again and have advised my friends to AVOID this place.

It's not often that I review buffets, but after partaking at Opus, I'm compelled to do so. They say competition breeds excellence, and that's certainly true here. Most of the resort properties in Singapore compete for dominance in the ultra luxury buffet space and the results are spectacular. Since most buffets are offering the same basic stuff as far as food, we decided to choose based on brand of free-flow champagne. You read right, free-flow champagne! They offer one of my personal favorites Taittinger Brut from France. Everything just fell into place after that. Limitless lobster tails, king crab, prawns, and fresh shucked oysters highlight the seafood. Full sushi bar. Fresh sliced prosciutto. Artisan cheese bar. Prime rib, ham, and charcuterie. And a first for me--a foie gras station. Incredible. Beyond the food and drink, Opus excels with comfortable surroundings, and top notch service. The staff are incredible and attentive. Our champagne flutes were NEVER empty and our plates were always cleared. Manager and executive chef comes to every table to follow up with guests and ask where they can improve. Expect to pay for all this decadence to the tune of $167 SD or $120 USD. I don't care. It was so worth it. My advice is to book and early seating around 12:30 and pace yourself. They started running out of shellfish shortly after 2pm.

My family stayed at the Hilton on Orchard Road for our vacation in Singapore. Our package included breakfast every morning at the Opus Bar and Grill. My sister and I had mad jet lag so we woke up early and headed downstairs for the breakfast buffet. There were only a couple people up and eating at 6:00 am, so we had the restaurant pretty much all to ourselves. I thought the buffet was very comprehensive with both western and eastern style food. There was also an omelette bar with egg whites only option available. My favorite was the bircher muesli with a mixture of rolled oats, raisin, nuts, fruits, and milk. It went well with the strong latte I ordered. The mini pain au chocolat or chocolate croissant was super delicious as well; perfect in size, buttery, chocolaty, and flaky. Overall, I thought it was smart for us to start breakfast early because it got super busy later on.

The restaurant was one of the many restaurants which offered restaurant week menu during the one week long Singapore Restaurant Week. As I was early for my reservation for lunch which cost $40++ for a 3-course set meal, I was asked to take a seat at the bar area before showing to my table in the restaurant. Interestingly the restaurant was also offering buffet during lunch time. There was a huge noisy group sitting behind me who were having the buffet option. I was served onion cheese loaf with butter on a wooden chopping board. I would preferred the bread to be served hot. The bread was soft, filled with bits of soft, brown onion bits. Tartar of Bluefin Tuna (ala carte $17++) avocado, chives, trout roe, extra virgin olive oil The raw fish was well marinated and flavourful, with the sea salt enhancing the taste. Wild Sea Bass (ala carte $36++) clams, black mussels, artichokes, vine tomatoes and thyme The serving was much bigger than expected. The fish was chunky and firm. The stock which served was light and flavourful. Grilled Honey Pineapple (ala carte $12++) vanilla ice-cream, crumbles and rum sauce The dehydrated pineapple was crunchy and full of the fruit flavours. The rum sauce was rich but was easily overpowered by the vanilla ice cream. The crumbles added texture to the simple looking dessert. Overall food was great. Service was great too with water refilled regularly and the service staffs checking on me regularly. One even asked if I needed some magazines. Bill was presented on top of a wooden box.

The traffic is bad and hotels are expensive due to F1 this weekend. So I didn't want to go anywhere and tried Opus in lobby. People who enjoys drinking will love their promotion and citi bank Credit card users could order one more dish as the discount is good. I ordered scallop and sea bass. Scallop was fine but the sea bass was not tender enough. Sea bass can be tender, can't it? Better to have dinner here than to order in room service.

Come for the steak, stay for the promo! Sunday to Thursday if you buy a steak you get 2 hours free flow (Prosecco & Wine). The good Wife and I probably hit this joint once a month. We'll typically share the 800g Australian ribeye, smash a few sides (the garlic mash is seriously good!) then do our best to put the Hilton out of business on free flow. Yes the steaks are great, ambiance is a little boring, staff are lovely. We like it for a casual date night. Give it a go.

My boyfriend wanted to have a 4 legged meat for dinner so we opted for Opus. It is conveniently located on Orchard Road, inside the Hilton Hotel. When you walk in stay to your right past the reception and head for the back of the hotel. There you will find the restaurant. We didn't have a reservation and showed up around 20h30 and were seated right away. I think we got really lucky... When you walk in, along the back wall, you can see the kitchen although it is closed off from the main dining room. We started with a cocktail. A Macallan 12 for him and Lychee Martini for me, which was delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness and served with two lychees on top. Oh... And they had a promotion going. Order a steak and you get free wine with dinner. Can't beat it! So before our food gets there, they present us with this huge loaf of cheese bread. His eyes rolled in the back of his head when he tasted it, so I can only assume it was delish... He had the Tomato Burrata as a starter which was served with a heaping pile of Arugula. It was very fresh. I started with the Mushroom Velouté. It is served with a drizzle of Truffle Oil on top and a slice of Bread with Grilled Parmesan and Emmental cheese on top. The soup itself was not heavy and had a very good mushroom flavor. It was smooth without being overly creamy. And the Truffle Oil was just enough for a hint of the taste without being overwhelming like most places serve it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. He followed with a Filet Mignon with Peppercorn sauce and fries. I had the Wild Sea Bass. It is cooked to perfection! The skin side is crispy and delicious. It comes in a broth with clams, Black mussels, artichoke, vine tomatoes and thyme. If you are looking for a light, yet satisfying meal, I highly recommend it. I couldn't get enough of the fish! In addition, I had a side helping of the Grilled Asparagus. Lovely!

Sunday Champagne Brunch is no new concept but it's all about providing that quality experience to the diners. While Hilton Singapore may not have the most extensive spread, they make up for it in terms of the cosy ambience and quality selections in some of their a la minute sections. Highlights of the new buffet spread include live seafood, meat carving and grill stocked with fresh imported ocean catches, premium Australian cuts and gourmet delicatessen from Europe. I typically start with the cured meats and cheeses and i was very happy at the Smorgasbord Station, which featured thinly-sliced à la minute charcuterie of imported whole leg Iberico ham, Lomo Ham and Saucisson sec cured meat. I went absolutely crazy with the bleu cheeses! There are more than 20 types of cheeses specially flown in from Italy, France and Switzerland. Best bleu spread ever. At the live Seafood Station, you get to taste sashimi and half shell scallops from Australia, Canadian-Maine Lobsters, yabbies (a type of crayfish) from Spain and shucked oysters from Australia, Canada and France. I skipped this section as they didn't smell too appealing. I thought the hot food fared better. With eight cooking stations, there is plenty to pick from. A la minute specialty dishes such as pan-fried foie gras with apple and passion fruit (really enjoyed the tartness but the foie gras was overcooked), fresh homemade Italian maccheroni pasta with juicy Maine lobster meat and yabbies... And HELLO homemade Scotch egg with black truffle hollandaise! Even though some of my dining partners felt that the sausage crust was a tad salty, i thought it was perfect with the yolk (it's overcooked and they certainly could do better than that). The amount of sodium is perfectly acceptable if you think of it as a sausage #YOLO. Hearty, meaty offerings include Australian grain-fed prime rib, honey mustard-glazed pork rack and slow-grilled herb-roasted baby fowl. I enjoyed the meats from the open-flame charcoal grills. Cuts of wagyu flank steaks, lamb chops and Rangers Valley grain-fed beef tenderloins are sizzled over white-hot charcoal. Do not go expecting medium rare meats though, they all turn fairly medium-medium done. Don't skip the delicious sides of vegetables like roasted tomatoes on the vine, caramelized pumpkin, and asparagus gratin! I believe the Asian Station could be skipped. Oh but don't miss the liu sha bao! I was surprised at how good it was. That was truly a hidden gem in the dim sum corner. Dessert is a highlight at Hilton Singapore. With over 30 sweet treats like the luscious caramel hazelnut chocolate fountain -tears of joy-, cakes, mousse, tarts, pralines and macarons... it's pure heaven for the sheer amount of variety. The Hilton Singapore Sunday Champagne Brunch is available every Sunday from noon to 3pm, only at Opus Restaurant, located on the ground level.
