Lack of space, very uncomfortable seating, and not a good ambiance or view for a roof top bar. Food was okay, and service was provided to the best of ability due to tight space. Not enjoyable, and not worth staying for the 2 hour limit.
OpheliaResponded today
Hey Tosha, We appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience at Ophelia didn't meet your expectations. We understand the importance of comfort and ambiance, and we apologize if our location and seating arrangements didn't provide that.

This is an okay rooftop bar. It's small and narrow. If you get outdoor seating it will be great but there are very few tables and not sure how you get it (we booked a table on Opentable).
OpheliaResponded today
Hi Sesh, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our rooftop bar, but we're sorry to hear that our outdoor seating didn't meet your expectations. We understand that the table booking process can be confusing, and we appreciate your patience. We're always striving to improve our service and your feedback helps us do just that. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Best, Ophelia Management Team

We only went to Ophelia for drinks, and the happy hour options were perfect for our group of 4 friends. Although it was raining, we enjoyed the view from our table with all the windows. It was a great place to stop for a drink. It might have been a little hard to have a meal as the tables along the windows were at coffee-table height.

I went for Happy Hour which was had a nice menu and drinks were reasonable. I think at night it might be more of a vibe. The views were stunning, but the bar area was smaller than I expected from social media.

Thanks for the feedback, Erminda! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our Happy Hour menu and the stunning views at Ophelia. We appreciate your input on our bar area during the evening hours.

The views from this bar are amazing! We went around 11pm on Latin Night and it was a great atmosphere. The DJ played well known songs ranging from merengue, reggeaton, salsa, and bachata. They also had a saxophonist accompanying him and that was a surprisingly good addition. The food was tasty. We had limited options being vegan and we knew that before going. Wished they had more options that would be more vegan friendly or could be changed to vegan by removing dairy. The alcoholic drinks were also delicious, my favorite was the Warrior Punch with the dehydrated pineapple.
OpheliaResponded on June 24, 2025
Hey Melannie, We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience at Ophelia! It's fantastic to know that you enjoyed the views, live music, and our tasty food. We're always working to cater to our diverse customer base and your feedback on the vegan options is appreciated. We're glad you loved our Warrior Punch, especially with the dehydrated pineapple. We look forward to serving you again on your next visit! Best, The Management Team

Requested for outdoor seating when I made reso Turns out there is a corporate event and no outdoor seating was available There’s no courtesy call or anything like that if I would be okay sitting indoor. Everytime i go hear, always disappointed by their service Also the server charged us for a wrong table so we ended up having to correct and refund the original payment
