Went to Ophelia for a double date nite after having dinner else where. We didn’t eat here however we came for drinks and the Aventura nite. The ambience was very energetic and lively a good amount of ppl without being overcrowded. Service was good! The drinks were tasty and strong, the DJ was soo good and we loved the Saxophone player who complemented the music being played by the dj. It’s an elevated place and great for a nice mature night out. Will be back and recommend to others.

The venue was nice and the drink was decent but my bf and I walked in and asked were there any tables available and we were told no. I went online and was able to book a table within 30 minutes. They should be honest with customers.

Views were great as always. It was tricky to flag down our waitress. The furniture was looking a bit run down, couches dirty, finish chipping off on some of the tables.

There are so many cute little nook areas in Ophelia…we sat right along the window and had the most amazing view of the most amazing city. The food was delicious…we had the sliders, tuna tartare, and truffle fries. So good! Also would be a great place for a birthday party.
