Hi John – Glad to hear it! I’m back in Lennox Head at Xmas, so looking forward to checking it out again. Maybe I’ll review the new menu!

Hi Simon – I’m so sorry that was your experience! On the day I went the service and food was spectacular. Thanks for leaving your thoughts.

I will never go to this restaurant again, lunch yesterday was disgraceful, grumpy staff more interested in texting & personal calls than service, the food was nothing like the well prepared photos above. Dont waste your money.

Lorriane E – It is named O-pes because the word (in latin origins) means: Resources, abundance, wealth, riches – the name conveys the resources used by the chefs who in turn create an abundance of wealth and richness of flavour & texture for their patrons.

Best to you,

Ian. (No I’m not an owner, but my son is chef there – lol)

Beautiful photos. I am currently craving mussels. I went to my local fishmonger two days ago and he informed me that the oysters and mussels that come off Puget Sound (off of Seattle where we get them) are currently contaminated from all of the snow runoff!

@Karen – The desserts were gorgeous!
@Lorraine – Good question. I will find out and post the answer here in the comments.
@Arwen – I liked the presentation too!
@Miss Honey – I bet there’s a few food bloggers that would eat a dessert-only meal!
@Dragon – I can’t beleive you’re scared of the snapper! ;)
@Ms Gourmet – Yes, mussels for me next time!
@FFichiban – It’s only 10 hours drive ;)
@Y – You’re a tough dessert critic darling! :P

Um, hello, I never skip dessert. :) Ok, I’ll admit it. The whole red snapper scares me a little.

Great review!

What beautiful desserts. The chocolate and fig parfait sounds like such a great combination of flavours. I love the way they’re laid out so prettily.

It looks delicious! I have a not so secret love of spun sugar too so the desserts look especially tempting. Do you know why it is called O-pes?

Oh my goodness…that fish…those mussels! And those desserts to top it off! I loved the presentation of the pannacotta and parfait. How divine!
