If you’re planning on taking your date our for a meal in Dickinson, Texas, you’ll want to take advantage of some of the best-quality restaurants in town.
Opus Bistro
Located in the heart of town, Opus is the place to go for savory seafood. Try the crab served with asparagus and a hearty Hollandaise, or the creamy fettuccine with crab and shrimp. We love Opus because you don’t need to be a total foodie to enjoy it: Bring your friend who relishes the classics; he or she will be impressed by the Caesar salad and French onion soup. Asparagus Parmesan and the juicy Portobello Mushroom are delectable alternatives for vegetarians. Reservations for dinner are welcome, and you can make them up to a full month in advance by calling Opus from 5 to 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and from 5 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Getting hungry?
