Opus Prime Steakhouse, the white-tablecloth mainstay that helped define Memorial Road’s upscale dining strip in northwest Oklahoma City, served its last dinner on June 28, 2026, wrapping up a run of nearly 19 years. Regulars who came for dry-aged prime steaks, private dining rooms and a serious wine list found the doors shut for good as owner Bill Wilson stepped away to retire and end operations at the location.
Why It Closed
Wilson’s decision to retire is the reason the restaurant went dark, according to The Oklahoman, which reported that the 78-year-old owner confirmed June 28, 2026, as Opus Prime’s final day of service. The outlet characterized the ending as a planned, owner-driven retirement rather than a sudden business collapse.
A Local Mainstay Since 2007
Opus Prime opened in November 2007 after Wilson converted a former space into what the Journal Record described as a northern-style steakhouse, complete with private rooms and a glassed, temperature-controlled wine room. At the time, the Journal Record reported that Wilson moved thousands of bottles from his previous restaurant, Nikz, into Opus Prime’s cellars to launch the new concept with an already deep collection.
Steaks, Wine And Service
From the outset, Opus Prime billed itself as a prime-only steakhouse that focused on aged prime cuts and seafood, supported by an ambitious wine program. Opus Prime’s website lists more than 900 wine selections and highlights Chicago Stockyards filets alongside rotating wine pairings, a combination that helped cement the restaurant as a go-to spot for celebrations and big nights out.
What This Means For OKC Dining
Opus Prime now shows up as shuttered on major platforms. Tripadvisor lists the restaurant as "Closed now" and DoorDash currently marks it as "Temporarily closed." The loss comes amid broader turnover in Oklahoma City’s dining scene. AOL and other outlets have documented a string of restaurant closures around the metro this year, underscoring how quickly the local food landscape is shifting.
Looking Ahead
Wilson has not named a buyer or outlined a successor concept for the building, and for now the restaurant’s online footprint remains one of the clearest remnants of its run. For longtime diners, staff and suppliers, the closure closes a long chapter in Oklahoma City dining history, as Opus Prime spent nearly two decades helping set the standard for upscale steak service along Memorial Road.
