    Ophelia was an amazing experience! All of the staff was very kind and accommodating, especially our server, Isabella! The drinks, food, and most of all the views on the outdoor patio were truly perfect! I would highly recommend for a wonderful time :)

    Service was extremely slow, our 3 drinks we ordered came out individually, and wait stuff acted like they didn’t want to be there and nothing mattered. View was amazing and music was great, unfortunately the staff blew the experience.

    The main good thing about the place is the decor and view. Service is very bad. Drinks are very watered down and expensive. Food is average but portions are ridiculously small
