    Beautiful restaurant on the bay. The staff are amazing, friendly and made us feel so welcome. Our dishes were presented beautifully. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the baked Connecticut blue point oysters were so out of this world that we ordered a second one!If you’re looking for a more upscale experience in Siesta Keys then Ophelia’s will not dissapoint. Their wine menu is fantastic as well!

    Incredible dinner! Grouper bites and Category 5 shrimp appetizers were as good as it gets. The delicious fishcamp chowder is almost a meal in itself. Finally, the lobster tacos also were great. I apologize f this sounds like I own the place. My wife and I are three times a year customers who simply love this place.

    Tripletail is always excellent. I had fried grouper and it was cooked to perfection. The food came out piping hot. My husband had the smoked oyster and he loved them. Cocktails are worth the money and service was excellent.
