Thanks to
Chowhound poster Andrew S for alerting us that
Opus will be retiring its tasting menu in a few weeks. When it first started, it was certainly one of the best values in town, but clearly it couldn't last forever. Chef Josef Centeno is adding some Oaxacan dishes to the regular menu, which is very good in its own right, and bringing in the popular
bacos for every day with someone making them at the front of the restaurant, not just on
Baco Tuesday. It's kind of a tricky location to fill every night, so I hope this switch works out for Centeno and appeals to the Wiltern concertgoers as well as the regular diners.
Of course nothing last forever . . . But I will be intrigued with anticipation; nonetheless, to see and taste what the maestro has created for our pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI am delighted with the news and not a bit surprised! Centeno is an evolving culinary artist and we are the beneficiaries. Whatever he does will be a delicious experience.
ReplyDeleteAlso note that the tasting menu is available ONLY by reservation.
ReplyDeleteYou can't just sit down and order it anymore...
As of Friday, a big banner stating "Now Serving Lunch" was hanging on the outside.
