We came here recently for a Sunday lunch. Fortunately, there were only a handful of patrons here when we arrived (around 11:30). Within 30 minutes, the dining room was full, and we couldn't hear each other talk. I remember experiencing the same thing when this joint was known as Opus Bistro several years ago. Despite the noise, the dining room still offers an excellent view of the canal and the people pulling up on their boats. Again, the food here is OK. Nothing more. In fact, it was quite reminiscent of a Fertita-owned restaurant with lines of delivery trucks from Sysco and Gordon's lined up at the loading dock. More specifically, the coconut shrimp came out crispy with not much flavor beyond the cloyingly sweet sauce served alongside. The fries are battered. Not my bag, though they arrived at the table hot and crispy. (Since when do crispy fries need batter?!?) The tacos were average. Not bad, but nothing different than you would get at most other places. Same with the Caesar salad and crispy Brussels sprouts. The crab bisque tasted tomatoey. That's not a deal breaker, but I expect a garlicky, buttery broth that has been thickened with heavy cream. Not the case here, as this was flour-thickened with inexpensive ingredients. And the amount of crab was negligible. Those *are* deal breakers. The beer selection is fine here. And, again, the service was really good on our visit. Bottom Line: I totally want local businesses to succeed. But my money is also hard-earned, and I want the food to taste local and to be made with high-quality ingredients. When it doesn't -- and this place doesn't -- I might as well grab a Groupon and go to Red Lobster.

I took some out of town friends here for a Gulf Coast / not Houston meal. Kemah and the boat…read moreculture feel very different from Houston. Here's what they got right: near everything. Michael our server was top notch and paid attention. Timing and delivery were spot on. Only gripe is that their by the glass sparkling wine is definitely a prosecco not champagne. Also they were out of Gulf Oysters which they offer at a great price. The other option is a significantly smaller and more expensive northern oyster that pales in comparison to a big Gulf oyster. The food: 2 of my companions ordered crab cake entrees and they were the best crake cake we have ever had. I was stealing off their plates the entire time. Even the remoulade was note-worthy. Best crab cake in the Houston area, hands dawn. Also it came with carrots. I thought CARROTS? They were out of this world. Everyone ate all their carrots. I ordered the red snapper etouffee and it was delicious. I would have preferred it with a little bed of pasta or rice than the mashed potato but the fish and shrimp were perfectly prepared. It was a delicious entree and perfectly cooked. The complimentary bread is very good. Crusty, warm excellent butter. I would have left 5 stars had it not been for the oysters and the "prosecco". Other than that, it was worth the money, had excellent service, and I highly recommend.

Went to Opus for a friend's birthday dinner. We were in the 2nd floor dining room, which was a…read moregreat room for groups. We had a party of nearly 30 people, and there were two other large parties in the same dining room, and it wasn't crowded. Great room for a group event! Windows all around, nice scenery of the marina and trees. This dining room also opens up to a large patios overlooking the water, trees, etc. It was a really pretty. A piano player played live music as we dined, took photos and took turns sharing kind words about the birthday girl. All of that was the best part. The service was just okay. I'd give it a 6.5/10. They were timid and didn't move quickly. What I did appreciate is that they had two main servers plus two floater guys who just kept refilling water and bringing bread and straws. These guys were the real superstars. The food... eh. I took out my Yelp menu vision and read the reviews, and nothing really seemed like it was going to be good. I settled on the Oysters Rockefeller and a cup of gumbo. The oysters came out hard and dry, but we'd waited so long that I ate them. 5/10. The gumbo was just so-so. 5.5/10. Everyone around me said the same thing. Someone got the loaded shrimp scampi and set it back because it was completely tasteless. Others got the shrimp and grits and other entrees. When asked about how they were, everyone said, "Ehhh, you know... it's all right. Not that good, but not terrible either. Just okay." That was the consensus across the 30-person group. BUT there were two items the ladies said were actually good: the wedge salad and the salmon. Those who chose those items had a great meal!

Food: 4.8/5 Service: 4.5/5…read moreAmbiance: 3.5/5 Overall: 4.6/5 This is really my first time in a British pub and having British food. And for my first time, this was a really great experience! First the negatives. The time it takes to get your food is extremely long and the place even on a weekday is still packed (personally, there was someone at another table constantly bumping into me). But if you can get over that, this place is absolutely insane. The fish dishes we got had the largest fried fishes I've ever seen, the fried batter was so light and airy, and the flavor of the fish was just extremely fresh and well made. I prefer the cod to the haddock due to its cleaner taste and more break apart texture, but both are really good. The shepherd's pie I got was also really good, with a lot of different spices and filling with a really nice and light crust. The only dish we got that I was a little bit skeptical about was the fried shrimp, which was good, but nothing too too special. Last two things. Our waitress was SO nice and very welcoming. She made the long wait not feel like an issue on her part, but rather just the cook time for our meal. Lastly, the sticky toffee pudding was absolutely elite. So rich and moist, as well as perfectly sweet and nicely portioned for around 2 people. An excellent cap to this overall incredible experience.

This joint doesn't seem to have anything on tap, but there is a decent selection of bottled brews, including Art Car IPA, which is one of my faves. Bottom line: Clear Lake Shores is a really cool area, and places like this are the reason. We'll definitely be back.
