Why go
Book Opus at the Belfry House when the night calls for a quiet, structured tasting-menu dinner rather than a flexible à la carte meal. The value is strongest for couples and special occasions, especially if the optional wine pairing matters to the group. At $150 per person, it makes sense as the main event, not a quick late-night fallback.
About Opus at the Belfry House
Is Opus at the Belfry House worth booking in Delavan? Yes, if the goal is a fine French tasting menu with Asian influence. This is a deliberate choice for diners who want the meal itself to be the plan, with a $150 per person price and a smart casual dress code.
The strongest reason to book is the tasting-menu focus. It is best suited to a night when dinner is meant to be the event, not a quick stop before something else.
A Delavan tasting-menu choice when dinner needs to feel intentional
The experience is best framed around its essentials: a fine French tasting menu with Asian influence, a $150 per person price, evening service on limited operating nights. That makes it a good candidate for diners who want a more structured dinner in Delavan.
Schedule is narrow: Opus at the Belfry House is open Thursday and Saturday from 5–10 PM and closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. A later dinner can work on those operating nights, but this is still a tasting-menu booking rather than a casual late-night fallback. For a quick bite, other Delavan dining rooms may be a better fit.
Opus at the Belfry House holds a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2026. That recognition is a relevant point for diners considering the restaurant, but the core decision should still come down to whether a $150 tasting-menu dinner is the right kind of evening.
The value case is about a focused tasting menu, not menu freedom
At $150 per person, the ask is meaningful for Delavan. The better question is whether the meal replaces a full night out. For a special occasion, it can: the tasting-menu approach gives the evening a sense of structure that a more casual dinner reservation usually does not. For a regular weeknight, the same structure may feel like more ceremony than needed.
The cuisine description is specific enough to set expectations without overpromising: fine French tasting menu cooking with Asian influence. Signature dishes include roasted sunchoke soup, halibut with yuzu beurre blanc and black garlic jus, seared scallop with kimchi butter, prime beef tenderloin Rossini with foie gras shumai, caramelized apple tart tatin.
