We had a fantastic experience at Ophelia’s – Food, Drink, and Atmosphere set upon a beautiful inland waterfront experience. Appetizer – Eggplant Crepes. OMG these are breaded, fried, and delicious. This dish was filled with the delights of the Tuscany region. Main course – Lobster with hollow pasta noodles in a cream red sauce. Wow! And U10 Diver Scallops over a bed of lentils were so sweet and tender they melt in the mouth. Desserts – Key Lime pie on graham crust with toasted meringue. Amazing!! Tiramisu set on a dark chocolate sauce base. So delicious.
Wine list was extensive and reasonably priced. The setting was so nice on the water. Sit outside if you can. Peaceful and subtle jazz playing. Great staff – experienced and attentive. No disappointments!

I want to give this 5 stars but couldn’t due to the cost to quality ratio feeling slightly off.
Now with that being said — the paella was something to remember forever. My boyfriend got the carbonara which was fine. And then the chocolate cake — the most gorgeous thing my eyes have seen with such a delectable taste that I’ll certainly be remembering.
Service was outstanding and incredibly attentive. The complimentary valet was also a pleasant surprise.
I don’t know if I will be back but I really did enjoy my time at Ophelia’s!

Loved this place! amazing food and even better service.Our food was a little bit delayed, and we honestly didn’t even notice because the atmosphere was so good. The manager personally came to apologize and insisted on bringing us a complimentary salad and dessert both amazing. Our server was great too. Overall, a really great experience.

We came here for dinner after our wedding and we couldn’t be more happy !
Where to start ?
Maybe with the terrace on the bay, even thought it was at night, we could feel the calm of the water, it was peaceful and perfect for an intimate dinner.
We also need to highlight the warmth and kindness of the waitress, just perfect service.
And last but not least the food, just amazing !
The balance between each texture makes each dish so tasty. The meat was perfectly cooked, with good quality lobster and a comforting gratin dauphinois. And the dessert, each bite was a happy moment !
We already think about going back to Ophelia next year for our first anniversary ! Can’t wait

We were first to arrive and were warmly greeted by Les. Our intention was to dine outside, but a cold snap was brushing Sarasota. Once we saw the opportunity to share in the wonderful view, we did opt for the deck. We were blessed in several ways, no wind, an energetic and well informed server, Chris who lit the comfortable heater. This solved the weather issue.
From the first sip of our drink to the exceptional deserts, it was an enchanting evening. top of the line food with over the top service, we never felt rushed. the evening was perfect.Food went to fast for photos.

Had a fantastic time, our server wished my mom a happy birthday when they seated us ( I let them know it was my mom’s birthday when I made our reservation). Food was excellent, ordered dessert and they even put a candle on her’s. So happy I found this place. Will be back.

Ophelia’s offers beautiful waterfront dining views in the area. It’s definitely a perfect spot for a sunset dinner or a special occasion. The service was outstanding—attentive, professional, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server made great recommendations and checked in at all the right times. As for the food, it was a little too salty for my taste. I’d still recommend Ophelia’s for the view and the fantastic service. It’s a beautiful spot to unwind with a glass of wine and soak in the atmosphere.

We loved the place, absolutely delicious food. There has been a delay with our order, but it was Christmas eve so delays should be expected. All the staff were friendly and extremely courteous.

We went to Ophelias for our anniversary. It was lovely. I have several food allergies. They were very helpful and I had an amazing fear free meal. Our waiter Bryce was fantastic. We were treated to a complimentary glass of champagne with our delicious gluten free dessert.

Oysters Rockefeller, lobster bisque… off the chart good! Blue fin tuna was perfectly braised and the scallops were succulent.
