    This was the fifth time we had dinner at Ophelia’s and it was awesome as always. The staff is so friendly and helpful, everything was timed perfectly. I had the best duck ever and my wife had lobster risotto that was amazing. It’s so good they were able to recover from the recent hurricanes! We will be back soon.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Dinner was delicious. Of course it never disappoints! The restaurant was full, but noise level was moderate due to the three different levels. Our waiter was David one of the bar tenders. Very helpful, considerate and cheerful! Would love to request him again. Will be going back for sure

    The food was delicious. Hard to find Triple Tail fish on the menu but they feature it and it's so good. Delicate white fish. Citrus cream sauce that comes with the entree is outstanding. Spinach salad with blackened triple tail was good and large--brought half home so I have dinner today. Excellent service. Cinnamon butter served with the bread was amazing. Nice atmosphere--decorated tastefully for the holidays.
