Good food at this local establishment that has been on siesta key for years. Service was great. The menu has not changed in several years and is due for a change in our opinion – they used to have the best roast duck anywhere, it was a big seller and yet they took it off the menu when they revised it 2 or 3 years ago; they need to bring the duck back and a few other dishes That were taken off the menu. The mushroom pizza is gone and was also terrific. Still a great local restaurant

This was the fifth time we had dinner at Ophelia’s and it was awesome as always. The staff is so friendly and helpful, everything was timed perfectly. I had the best duck ever and my wife had lobster risotto that was amazing. It’s so good they were able to recover from the recent hurricanes! We will be back soon.
