    We celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary here and the food was impeccable. Best I have had since living in Florida. Chef’s kiss.

    This was my first time trying Wagyu and I’m still dreaming about it days later. They were able to relocate our table when the sun was shining on the original one that we had reserved so they were very accommodating. The outside doesn’t have a lot of coverage so if you are going to reserve, definitely make sure you reserve inside unless you wanna sweat while you’re eating. There was a hair in my friend’s food, but the food itself was incredible, almost to die for. They comped her meal so that was also very accommodating. I would go back to be honest with you.

    Ophelias on the bay is a wonderful restaurant with a perfect waterfront setting, its a little bit more expensive but the food is worth it, our server Chris was very welcoming , friendly and attentive, My family and I are from Ireland but we make a point to book with Ophelias each time we holiday here, The food is always well made and well presented, we had a couple of picky eaters (teenagers 😠) but Chris was able to pull together a meal that was off- menu for them keeping everyone satisfied. We are certainly going to return, I cannot praise the outdoor setting highly enough, but as always it is the staff that makes the visit memorable.

    Wonderful dinner- from cocktails, appetizers, entrees and dessert. There were 4 of us and we each had a different fish dish and we all loved them. Always enjoy our visit to Ophelia’s!!

    All the food we ate was delicious, fresh, and thoughtful. Perfect portions that satisfy you without over filling. The red fish entree and pistachio gelato dessert were especially fine. Our waiter Chris was very nice and friendly. The setting is clean and fresh.
