Opus 9 — Restaurant in Zona Metropolitană Brașov

Loved the interior and the vibe of this place, but the food to me personally was a disappointment. Me and my friends ordered the poached-egg toasts, and right off we noticed the bread was only the processed toast bread you'd find very cheap in any convenience store, but it wasn't even toasted. I'd suggest using nicely toasted sourdough bread that will taste just right, than some processed store-bought bread. Also, the eggs weren't poached at all, but very hard-boiled, which as one can imagine didn't go well with the bread the restaurant chose to use either. The food presentation was also unnecessarily distasteful and not very functional. The toast slices were cut in half placed all over on a black board, which occupied way too much space considering the smaller-sized tables the restaurant has (which otherwise wouldn't be a problem). Greens were also put all over the board, which again is really not necessary with the size of it. A smaller cute plate tastefully filled with the food would've been just fine and more enjoyable. Service was overall ok, but perhaps being a bit more casual and calmer with customers may be a good point for improvement. Finally, just a suggestion - I'd really love to encourage you to rely on the local produce you can find in the region, because Romania is such a gem in that area, especially when one finds the right source and invests the time and resources in this aspect. Eventually, what you serve to your customers (good food & experience) will only bring back...

Hung out here with a friend before my birthday. It's very beautiful and chill and kind of hipster-ish but not quite. Very tasteful place, which is in tone with their tasty food. I ordered the chicken and mushroom pasta and not only is it incredibly good, you actually get enough food in your plate to leave the place more than satisfied. Well-made, great portion size.

Good lemonade, good coffee. Have yet to try some of their signature drinks (which they serve in mason jars, and they look awesome) and smoothies they offer. The service was also really good. Server brought out my friend's espresso and when he set it down, some of it spilt over. Not a lot, just like a spoon or something. He took it back and brought a new one out, we didn't have to say a single thing. I personally was impressed by this, really nice thing to do. Friendly staff, they're eager to help you out with whatever you need, and will announce you if they can or can't make your order as you want it. You can actually see they enjoy working there. I liked that.

Also a nice setting outside. You're in the city center but not IN it, not painfully so. Quiet enough to be an intimate place, but also entertaining enough to know you're in a central location of this...
