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.
OpheliaResponded on April 4, 2025

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

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.
