This was a very high-end restaurant for chef Eberhard Muller in the Water Garden business park in Santa Monica. The entry and bar areas received slate flooring.
The cove lighting and "light struts" were illuminated with dimmable low-voltage incandescents. All the interior paneling was Swiss pearwood.
The surrounds at the leather-upholstered booths were thin semicircular blades. Even the service stations and Eliason door into the kitchen received pearwood veneer.
Unfortunately, Opus suffered from its inconspicuous location and foundered a few years after opening.
