   The atmosphere as very ambient. Our server was very courteous. The food was amazing & we enjoyed our table by the window looking outside with the snow falling. There was a guy playing some nice, light guitar music. We had a lovely evening!!!

   Made a reservation during restaurant week to eat lunch on Monday here. Showed up, along with several other guests, to find the doors locked and the restaurant was closed. Drove 45min too. Please update your reservation hours on here so Mondays are not available if you are going to be closed on that day.

   Menu has changed. No longer worth the cost. There is literally PB&J on the (adult) menu.

   Service wasn't the best, food was okay. I had a filet that came out cold and overcooked. We got fried chicken and french fries that were amazing.

   The seared salmon with acorn squash risotto and Brussels sprouts was excellent. My husband had the shrimp polenta which he enjoyed but was disappointed as the shrimp tails had not been removed.

   We met another couple on New Year’s Eve. The restaurant, ambience service, and food was excellent! The music amp for the guitar player was a little loud, but we asked, and they did turn it down.

    We easily made an early reservation at Ophelia's on New Years Eve. Even though early in the evening, it was busy, and they were doing a robust business. We were seated promptly, and water was provided quickly. We ordered rather quickly and our soups and salads were promptly provided. They were excellent, the amount and quality was to our liking. Our meal was then brought out as we were finishing the initial course. The food was cooked as we had suggested, and the temperature was just right also. Our only complaint was when we asked for a bread basket, expecting to have to pay for it, the kind waiter told us that after the start of the pandemic, bread service was halted and has not started back even with extra charge. Our waiter was excellent and we were happy with our dining experience.

    There was no heat in the establishment. We were told as we came in the door, but we decided to stay anyway because it was our anniversary dinner. I did not take off my coat the whole time and a couple times I had to put on my gloves. I wish we would have been given a discount for these problems but we were not

    Will NEVER go back!!! There were two tables with people at them when we came in. The server served us a warm dirty martini and acted shocked when we asked her to shake them and serve cold. The chef was jammin out to Tool so loud in the kitchen ( I love Tool but really?) Steak totally overdone, sent back once and returned still overdone. Never again

    They were packed! Still, Randy delivered exceptional service. We both ordered fish & chips and I swear it’s the best I’ve ever had! The apple cobbler was tasty, but a little too juicy to be consumed easily, thus 4 star on food. I think they are a little expensive. $23 at lunch for fish and chips w Cole slaw at lunch is pricey. Still I’ll go back soon and pay that and more!

    The food was delicious -- especially the Brussels sprouts! And the portion was so large it could have been a meal in and of itself. I had the shrimp with polenta as my main, which was great as well. I only had a gin & tonic so I don't have a lot to go on for drinks, but it was a good size and fairly strong. Our server was super nice and polite, just a tad bit rushed. Not terribly, but everything just went a beat or two faster than was comfortable. There was live music when we arrived and the musicians were wonderful, and even though the space isn't cavernous it wasn't too loud to hear and be heard. I live about 25 mins away and would definitely go back, although next time I might Uber so I could sample some of their specialty cocktails.

    I got to Ophilia's on a slightly regular basis. I know the folks who work there, and it's obvious they know all their regulars. The food is always great, the drinks are perfect, there's always good conversation, and Cindy McClain just keeps getting more adorable every year. I love the place.

    I tried somethin new to me on the new menu just started. Loved the menu and the choices. I ordered the shrimp plenta. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. The polenta was bland and runny, which was a disappointment. My dinner including coffee and dessert with tip was $75, which was incredibly expensive, but the atmosphere and service always keep me coming back because I will always support local!

    It is a very upscale restaurant. I ordered the Lobster Gouda Mac and Cheese. It was delicious. They had just started a new menu the night we had dinner. They have 3 fit fare menu items. It is a $$$-$$$$ restaurant.

    We had a nice lunch of steak frite, which was the special. It was sirloin steak and it was tinder cook dried, and tasty ….After lunch instead of dessert, we decided to enjoy a glass of wine and chat. Everything was delicious. The service was great and the restaurant at least at lunchtime was quiet and relaxing.

    Over the years I’ve loved Ophelia’s but it seems now that it’s no longer what it was. The food is my main issue. The last few times things have come out cold and lacking in flavor. The poor servers are stretched so thin they don’t have time to care for their tables. We noted a birthday in our reservation and it was ignored. But out of all of that the food is the disappointment and prices are too high for what they provide.

    Service was bad, waited 1.5 hours for food. Took forever to get a drink, and it was spilled by the server when it got to the table. Waitress was never around, and food was ok not great. Had the Salmon, brussels sprouts, and pesto risotto. Portions are large, so you do get a lot. Would not go back or recommend.

    Not as happy with food or portions as I have been in the past nor how we were greeted ...felt shamed because we wanted to sit at a table rather than high top it bar so she could even out here servers. My trout was full of bones, overcooked and hardly any Brussels..lots of hard beets. My date ordered lamb and mashed potatoes ...no jelly and the smallest portions for the money I have ever seen.

    There were out of several whiskeys (Crown Royal and CC), but they DID run across the street to the other owned restaurant to grab a bottle for us. That was super cool. However, three of us at the table had our orders brought out incorrectly. The Medium Rare steak was medium, and the manager came out and said to us: "I've been here 7 years and we've had more complaints in the last 10 days than in 7 years." Maybe don't tell the customers that and be better to coach the team up...or coach them out.

    Both ordered the rib-eye, it was just ok. The steak was thin and flavorless. Ordered “medium” and it was medium-well. I don’t know if the restaurant has changed owners or what has changed but this steak was nothing like what we had here a few years ago. We did enjoy the chicken-chorizo nacho appetizer. We also were looking forward to the awesome chocolate sampler dessert we got last time and it’s no longer on the menu. It was odd that there wasn’t any chocolate type of dessert at all, we would have ordered something if it was an option.
