In the 1970s, third-generation restaurateur James C. Kokas dreamed of opening an upscale restaurant in downtown Detroit. By the mid-1980s all the pieces were in place to transform an old taxi garage on East Larned Street into one of the most elegant restaurants in the Midwest, Opus One.

Had dinner with my family here.The food was ok. I wouldn't compare this to Roast, Joe, or Iridescience just because the food is not a 5 star. The host came out and greet which was nice. Maybe if they upgrade their food, they might get more stars???
Have been there a couple of times..its ok. But there is one reason why I won't go back once I find out that the owner treats his employees like crap I will never go back. I guess the guy is really mean and makes people cry. Really these…
