I took the bait.

Holy shit, confusion menu's can be difficult to read.

"Seared Alaskan black cod with a Canadian maple, miso, and sake sauce, wok fired bok choy. Finished with enoki mushrooms and a kumquat salsa and crispy egg noodle cake."

WTF is this? All over the map.

Looks like a CFD menu to me.

Sounds/feels like Joey's in Winnipeg. "Japanese aioli?"

FYI, Iron Chef, if you do happen to do be affiliated, it is Cortes Island, not Cortez

Usually I try not to bag on a place, but I will since this post is an obvious advertising ploy. I know a few people who are, let's say close to those who are in charge of Opus, as well as industry people who have eaten there. So far no good reviews. Apparently the food leaves much to be desired. More of a drink lounge than a serious restaurant.

Dude, what are you talking about, I'll take my advice from someone that's actually been there, to wit; "the food was orgasmic, atmosphere electric.... and wine pairings made this a meal to be remembered."

Don't be a hater.

Must be something about Calgary. I hear Moxie's is pretty good too.
