Opus Is Opening in the Former Green Land Cafe Space in Salem

A new restaurant is on its way to Salem, moving into the space where a cafe had been until closing recently.

The Hamilton-Wenham Patch reports (via The Salem News) that Serenitee Restaurant Group is looking to open Opus on Washington Street, taking over the former Green Land Cafe spot. This is the same restaurant group that owns such eating and drinking establishments as 15 Walnut in Hamilton, Alchemy, Latitude 43, and Minglewood Tavern in Gloucester, Cala's in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Hale St. in Beverly Farms, and Maggie's Farm in Middleton. Currently, very little is known about what kind of restaurant Opus will be; as soon as we find out more information, we will post an update here.

Expect Opus to open sometime in November, according to the Patch.

[February 26, 2013 update: According to a job post on the Craigslist site, Opus plans to open on June 1, with the spot featuring "an eclectic menu with casual fine dining upstairs and a night club downstairs."]

[July 12, 2013 update: North Shore Dish says that Opus is looking to open sometime next week.]

[July 18 update: Opus is now open.]

The address for this new restaurant in Salem is: Opus, 87 Washington Street, Salem, MA, 01970.
