Opus at The Belfry House, a fine-dining restaurant in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, has been named to FSR Magazine's Top 50 Independent Restaurants list—the state's only representative on the ranking. The 24-seat venue operates under Executive Chef Eric Feldbusch, a Culinary Institute of America graduate. The restaurant rotates 5- and 7-course tasting menus that combine French and Asian culinary techniques, emphasizing locally sourced Wisconsin ingredients. Opus functions as part of The Belfry House hospitality complex, which includes a 12-room boutique hotel and the historic Belfry Music Theatre. The restaurant has also secured five consecutive Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence.
Why It Matters
The recognition reflects growing operator success with fixed-capacity, tasting-menu models in secondary markets. Multi-property hospitality clusters—combining lodging, dining, and entertainment—continue to drive traffic and premium pricing in Midwest destination markets.
