Enjoy elegant global cuisine and white linen service at a great price in Opus Too, the student-run restaurant at The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Las Vegas (formerly known as The Culinary Institute of Las Vegas).

Opus Too will delight, excite and satisfy you. The Art Institute of Las Vegas student-run restaurant, is a restaurant of upscale cuisine that draws inspiration from culinary regions around the world. Students demonstrate the skills they’ve learned through school’s culinary arts program and apply their experience in our real-world restaurant environment. The restaurant is a final passage prior to graduation for culinary arts students.

"We designed Opus Too to be a progressive global restaurant that features the freshest ingredients, friendly and knowledgeable service all in a unique environment where great food is the hero," says Culinary Arts Academic Director David Hendricksen. "Managed and operated by culinary students, Opus Too allows students to practice the theory and culinary artistry they’ve learned and honed over the past two years in an exact restaurant experience from back of the house operations in menu creation and food preparation to the front of the house in service staff, managers, bartenders and money handling."

Before they graduate, The Art Institute’s Culinary Arts students are required to run all facets of a fully-operational restaurant that’s open to the public. The restaurant is under the direction of two professional chef instructors. The chef faculty oversee every menu selection and overall food quality, temperature and timing as well as the front-of-the-house restaurant operation from customer service and traffic flow to menu pricing and managing the P & L.

Opus Too accommodates more than 45 guests in an elegant, stylish setting within The Art Institute campus at 2350 Corporate Circle in Henderson, Nevada. The Green Valley restaurant features a self-playing baby grand piano, natural light, a fully-equipped professional exhibition kitchen where guests can view students at work and a full beer and wine menu.

All take a back seat to the food. "Big flavors and aromatic pairings with premium ingredients and contemporary presentations embody the cuisine of Opus Too," says Hendricksen.

The menu can be described as high value and quality for great prices. Lunch and dinner includes the diner's choice of appetizer, entree and dessert for just $9.95 for lunch plus tax and gratuity.
