"located in the cornwall street in the business district of the city, is opus, a restaurant known for its dedication to sustainability, social responsibility and community engagement. on Tuesday night we have selected three courses from the market menu, so called that the menu is joined after what is good and plentiful on the market. food with a basket of (cold and dry) brot we washed our appetite, we went directly into the pflasterhof pork terrine. presented on an elongated shape plate, similar to the terrine plate itself, the meat was surprisingly dense with little gel. with aromen remembering a Hog-Rost, the accompanying apfelpüre became artistic, but spearly around the plate dotted along with some fruity spicy vegetables including green flower cabbage. next we were treated with a turned-off menu plate from pan roasted scallops. a personal favorite of me, they were delicious, fresh, juicy and plump. my slow braided blade of bark was a very generous part of soft, fat meat, which was greatly improved by the accompanying jus. the star of this teller was the hearty horseradish monkey. meanwhile, my ess mate chose brixham market fish of the day, confit fenchel, steamed kartoffels and autumn green. the Béarnaise sauce has the juicy and as promised, market fresh fish that is considered cod. dessert was a citrus potset (creamy and intensively smooth,) with fruit salsa (tart) and short brot and icy blackberry parrot with poached brombeer; both were fresh, lively and delightful. the service was quiet so it was to curious diners like us to ask about the more unusual ingredients on the plate. price at £15.50 for three courses, the market menu offers exceptional value for money. on the menu a la carte are starter £7 £10, mostly are £10 £20, and most desserts are £7. overall a firm favorit with the smart deal that was eating conservative with few surprises. the quality of the raw components is clear and the aromene are left clean and uncomplicated according to the purpose to allow them to shine through. I would say, opus is a safe bet for diners, the qualitatiw high quality food with provenance at one of the smartest addresses of the city."

"The kitchen at this restaurant serves subpar food and relies on its young staff to explain the disappointing dishes. For example, the pea puree on the Monkfish Scampi was identical to mushy peas on the Haddock Chips, and fries were served instead of chips with the steak because the kitchen had run out of chips. The menu advertised hand-cut chips, but it seems they ran out of potatoes as well. The "Artisan cheese and Arran crackers" turned out to be generic cheese and Jacobs crackers with no chutney. The chocolate fondant was not oozing as expected and came with cherries instead of peanut brittle. The ice cream was vanilla instead of the advertised peanut butter. This may be acceptable for large groups of golfers on a set menu, but for a couple staying for two nights looking to enjoy the hotel and area, it was disappointing. On the first night, we had to settle for our fourth choice of white wine as they didn't have our first three choices. It was strange to not have a wine list and to be missing 25% of the wines. The sourdough bread on the menu with Cullen Skink turned out to be a mini Hovis loaf, which felt like an insult from the kitchen and management. These issues were brought to the attention of the Operations Manager upon departure, as it was not the fault of the young serving staff. Our experience has left us feeling that the brand image has been tarnished, and we will not be returning to another MacDonalds restaurant."
