    Bad ambiance. Bad service. Extremely limited menu. Over priced. Other reviews must be from a different incarnation of this place. They barely even offer...read more

The Scene
With a major makeover and hot new chef the former Opus Bar and Grill is reborn. Modern black leather chairs, couches and tabletops give a Matrix-like edge to this lofty, Wiltern-adjacent spot. Under sexy lighting and flickering candles sit entertainment industry types, gorgeous neighborhood 20-somethings, foodies and raffishly disaffected club kids. A long bar and patio lounge are especially lively post-shows.

The Food
Chef Josef Centeno (Meson G) presents a modern approach to French technique inspired by global ingredients. Japanese and Latin high notes sound off in beautifully presented dishes like chilled octopus salad with crispy pork belly, or beguiling yellowtail sashimi with lardon and preserved lemon. Scallop seviche is punctuated with fresh bursts of persimmon. Ajii (jack mackeral) nestles among tiny Chinese cronses and gooseberry, while fall-apart-tender beef short rib revel in a sensual red wine reduction. Flavorful flat iron steak comes sliced in a rich Japanese sesame-cumin gomasio sauce, flanked by dreamy dill frites.
