    Thought this was a nice upscale lounge. Our seats for two were literally on a stool on the floor with two music blasting throughout the venue.

    I had not been to the top of the Beekman in 30 years. It is still a very unique place in NYC. Everyone wants to see a view from up high. They forget that there are other angles to see NYC from. The staff was professional, knowledgeable and obviously well trained (not something you see today). The food was delicious and drinks great. We had a party of 8 and had a perfect space. Whether you’re a New Yorker or tourist you will enjoy being at Ophelia’s.

    Are very first experience with Ophelia and will absolutely be our last experience was yesterday October 28th, now before I get to the bad part the atmosphere is amazing, the views are stunning. With that being said we ordered the truffle mushroom ravioli it came out lukewarm so it wasn't the greatest and we ordered two pina coladas The drinks were extremely strong as though somebody was heavy-handed with pouring the liquor and to come to find out that all that came up to $108 including tip I'm just saying that for the experience it wasn't worth it if you just want to get the views go up there see the views and leave there are many other places that can give you a great experience with the food the drinks the atmosphere minus the views
