    What a treat! Everything was perfect. Our table was lovely; we enjoyed watching the activity at the bar. Dylan our server was helpful and entertaining. My French 75 cocktail was fabulous; my husband had his choice of bourbons and beers. My shrimp and his porkchop were both delicious, and my husband loved his fried green tomato starter. Since it was his birthday, they bring gelato and a candle, but we ordered the bourbon pecan pie. Dylan brought TWO pieces! We thought we were special, but he said they always make their desserts super generous. Lovely evening. Thank you!

    Wasn't the best visit we had. Came for dinner and a birthday all in the same day. No concessions made for the birthday, yet when we eat there we see others get a candle and a slice if cake and they make a big deal of the birthday. I even left the comment in the reservation about a birthday. It was my grandmothers 81st birthday and her first time eating there. She wasn't impressed and it was a bit disappointing since she had been wanting to go there for a long time. They live in Ocala and made the trip. Needless to say, not the experience we are accustomed to at Ophelia's after all these years.

    We went upstairs for dinner. We went on a Monday when they offer the prime rib special. Some at our table had the prime rib and said it was delicious. My husband had the ribeye and thought it was great! My family has gone there since the 1980s and we have never had a bad meal!
