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.

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

Went there last night for the first time. We made reservations and did not have to wait for a table. This was seriously the best food I've ever had in my life. Not even exaggerating. Our waiter Scott was very helpful and had great recommendations and everything he recommended was phenomenal and on point. Great service! We tried the calamari for starters. I had Scallops and my boyfriend had the New York strip. For dessert, we had to try the cheesecake of course. I cannot wait to return and try everything on the menu. The Valet guy was super nice too! 5 stars all the way!!!

A great place for a fancy quiet dinner on the water. No loud music, highly trained staff, awesome chef and pastry chef. Don’t forget dessert. They are super delicious and something to see. We had our 43rd wedding anniversary dinner there and it was perfect.

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.

Oh, oh, Ophelia's on the Bay!!! Please darken her door! What a great meal in a beautiful Bayside setting! Outdoor dining at it's finest! Located on beautiful Seista Key, Ophelia's menu has something for everyone! The food is artfully crafted and served with pride by the attentive staff. A big shout-out to our server, Zoli for attending to our every need! Thank you, Zoli! Oysters Rockefeller, lobster bisque... off the chart good! Blue fin tuna was perfectly braised and the scallops were succulent. You'll drop some coin at Ophelia's but it will be worth every dollar! Go there now!
