A true gem on Siesta Key!! Excellent food & service! A great view. our server, Sylvia is excellent! The PEI mussels in sauce were excellent. Loved the scallops! They closed after Hurricane Helene and Milton didn't help!! They are back in action! A true gem!!

Found Ophelia's when we were in the area and what a gem. Got there after sunset but looks like beautiful deck on the water. We had no reservation so dined inside. Server was amazing, gave us recommendations and all were on the mark. Was sad to hear they closed for 5 or 6 weeks so the staff was out of work. Food was outstanding. Chef owned place which is cool. Highly recommend!

The service, the view, the food - it was all fantastic. This is one of the tastier waterfront restaurants I have been too. Everything was very fresh and I had no complaints!

We had a pleasant experience last night at Ophelia's. Our appetizers were really good and we would definitely come back to taste it again if the menu allows us. Notice that the menu might change depending on the day/season. We also had an amazing view by the bay with a lot of sea creatures to make the night perfect!

The service was amazing and the food was phenomenal. Our server gave amazing recommendations for both food & cocktails. She was on top of everything! I would get everything again, except for the ragoons - they were delish, but they barely had any stuffing. The crab cakes are a must have and the beet salad was much better than most. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the Cioppino was the perfect combination. I tried the scallops & ravioli special and it was also amazing.

This place is breathtaking. Be warned, it doesn't look like much when you pull up to the parking lot in front....but wow. It's amazing and stunning views, service, food, ambience....the WORKS. The valet is a third party so no comp but only tip based. We walked in after making reservations. They are strict on these and called an hour before to confirm. They were flexible about the indoor versus outdoor with the weather we were having being a little unpredictable. They moved us once when we wanted to be closer to the view...and trust me it's THE view. Dolphins are a nice touch!!!! We started with drinks, the Sarasota lunch was strong but tasty. The wine was delicious (u can order a bottle and they will let u take whatever you don't finish home) and the spicy Bloody Mary was pretty spicy!! Just how I like it. The complimentary bread and butter was seriously so good. Tried to not spoil my meal by getting more!!!! No appetizers for us. We wanted the real deal! The entrees were tough to chose from...SO many fancy and intricate items. Heather, our server went above and beyond and gave us great recommendations and really knew about wine pairings and the ingredients. She mentioned the meals are made to order and all items local and caught in the morning! We opted for the grouper which was local, the lamb, and the lobster with risotto. We all agreed the risotto was to DIE for...never thought risotto with feta would work but it was delicious and not overbearing. Good acidity and cook on the grains. The second fav was the lamb. The cook was perfection, medium and tender! The reduction to pour on top was also great. There was an issue at the table next to us and someone got sick and threw up unexpectedly. They tried so hard to keep us happy and offered to move us and all they could! Service was beyond! Ultimately, they gave us a free dessert and we were the happiest clients! The crème brûlée with pumpkin spice notes made the night! We ordered some espresso and Earl grey tea to compliment. This experience was 11/10. For 3, all I mentioned (dessert was free) $300 seemed reasonable for a full entree and drink. HIGHLY recommend this place. Heather is a treasure. We will never forget this experience!!!

Old American classic by the water in Siesta Key. Pros - great location and ambiance by the water. Top notch service. Dishes were well prepped in the standard American fashion. Cons - food was good, but generic and nothing extraordinary. Reminds me of Capitol Grill. Very pricey with entrees above $60. Valet is mandatory. Old-school restaurant. Good place for classic American favorites.
