    Go for drinks before or after dinner, not really a place to eat or have a conversation in a bigger crowd
    OpheliaResponded 7 days ago
    Hey Helena, thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Ophelia. We're sorry to hear that you found our place less conducive for a relaxed dining experience than for a pre- or post-dinner drink. We aim to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for all our guests, so your feedback is important to us. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you with our dining experience. Thanks again!

    We had a nice experience with great views. Wonderfully crafted cocktail menu and small bites. Seating allows everyone a nice view of the city. We did look around but no curiosities or art details that were in the description were found. We were having a great time until the waitress forced us to close out our bill in the middle of eating without reason, which was awkward and made us feel like we had to leave. Other guests were still arriving and ordering food so we were just confused. Other than that, it was a nice place to try.

    Beautiful location at the top of an historical skyscraper with amazing views. Happy hour was a great value in NYC. Staff were welcoming attentive and did not rush our experience. We were sat unfortunately next to a loud group of young professionals bent on discussing their business loudly with far too many expletives without pause. Otherwise the food and drinks were delicious and we enjoyed our visit.
