    We eat lunch often at Ophelia’s, particularly when we’d like a great meal on the lighter side. Although the sandwiches are always delicious, the Lighter side lunches are perfect and healthy. The soups and appetizers are always delicious as well, service is attentive, atmosphere is pleasant and we’re always able to have a conversation since the noise level and background music are reasonable.

    Ophelias is a such a gem. Great food, good wine, and a wonderful ambience and vibe. It's parts quaint, parts retro, and parts haute. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Andrea, who brought it all together. She reccommended flawlessly, adviced knowingly, and sparred confidently from all our nonsense. The perfect experience. See you again soon!

    Went there for the first time last night. The meal was excellent. There was a live musician playing soft jazz. It was very relaxing and I highly recommend.
