Brandon Wise is Opus One’s Dining Room Manager.

Raised in Rochester Hills, Brandon currently resides in Troy, Mi. A graduate of Rochester High School, Brandon attended Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant. At 26, Wise has been in the restaurant industry for over ten years, and has worked in every aspect of the business.

Brandon worked as a server and bartender while attending college, and his early employers included the Rochester Chop House and Kruse and Muer on Main. Under restauranteur Bill Kruse he learned a great deal about the importance of outstanding customer service, which Wise cites as core values.

In 2002 Brandon began working at Bravo! Cucina Italiana in Rochester Hills, where he was immediately groomed for a management position. As his responsibilities increased, he quickly became their head bartender, and soon after a supervisor at one of Oakland County’s most successful wine & martini bars.

From there he was presented with an opportunity to open a new martini lounge as their general manager. From its inception was responsible for every aspect of the business, from hiring and training an entire staff to the marketing and down to the building’s décor. This was a project that he was incredibly passionate about, and when the owner ran out of funding Brandon was devastated.

In early 2007 Brandon came on as the manager of Opus One, where he brought his passion for service excellence and commitment to guest satisfaction to one of the area’s most highly regarded establishments.

Brandon’s belief is that “it’s all about you”, and his commitment to serving the finest metropolitan cuisine is only matched by his dedication to providing a memorable dining experience to each guest of Opus One.
