Reviews for Ophelia's Restaurant & Inn in Independence, MO
We came in a bit after the dinner rush and immediately loved the atmosphere of live music playing softly in the background. The... smaller one page menu was exactly what we were looking for and while the price point was higher, the quality of the food andservice felt well worth it. Elaine was an amazing server and when my dish came out dissatisfactory, she immediately took care ofit and was so wonderful during the whole experience. My husband's ribeye was stellar and our drinks were delicious. Overall awonderful experience and I highly recommend. Read more
We had a great lunch here last weekend. It was our first visit to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. I ordered the... Oak Grilled Chicken with Havarti cheese and it was fantastic! I got a side salad with it and it was very good too. Only smallcomplaint is the salad wasn't very cold. Maybe it was because it was served on a warm plate. The atmosphere was nice and thestaff was great. Everything was nice and clean. I was surprised to see the large banquet room in the back. I liked it here somuch I can't wait to go back and try the dinner menu! Read more
Don't know if I have had anything less than great here! The fried chicken is really surprisingly good. Also, you have to try... the pork belly! Read more
We got the bbq Pulled pork and pressed cuban woth sweet potato fries. They were really good sandwiches. And the fries rock. It... was so much food we both were stuffed. No room for dessert. The place was clean, the bathroom was clean and the waitress cameover just the right amount. Definitely recommend and Definitely will be back. Read more
We ate here tonight and we will not go back. The restaurant was nearly empty and each table had a different server that wasn't... serving any other tables. Despite that, the service was painfully slow. Our menus were spattered with old food. We got a glassof wine, a cup of soup, the cheese plate appetizer, and both of us got the chimichurri marinated flat iron steak. We enjoyed thecheese plate but felt it was very overpriced at $22 for a moderate serving size. The soup was okay. Our steaks were extremelybland, and neither were cooked to the temperature we ordered. My fiance asked for a medium steak and his was very rare on oneside and overdone to the point of being inedible on the other. Mine was supposed to be medium rare and it was rare on one sideand medium well on the other. Both were served sliced so the kitchen should have been able to clearly see that the temperaturewas off. The sides were also bland. We wanted to ask for chimichurri to season the steak more, but after our food came out, wedidn't see our server for 30 minutes. When we finally requested the chimichurri and tried a bite, it was awful. It wasdefinitely not chimichurri. At that point, we gave up on dinner and decided to just eat somewhere else later. The final billcame out to $130, which we would have been happy to pay if the food had been tasty, but it feels like such a rip off for food wedidn't even eat. We left with almost a whole steak still on the plate and the server didn't even ask about it. Read more
Interior is mediocre. It wasn't the same menu as we saw in pictures prior to our visit. It's not actual Italian food, however,... the chicken was pretty good. I'd say this is more of a wine and dessert place. The Poliziano wine and others they have are nice.The banana bread dessert was quite actually top notch. Read more
My salmon was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The snap peas were tasty.. I just prefer steamed but did not ask how they... were prepared. Caesar salad would have been so much better if they had used half the amount of dressing. Im not a fan of soggysalad. But again, that's just me. Service though was impeccable. Very attentive and friendly. Very clean. They'd added outsideseating since I was there last and it was very inviting. Read more
Maybe this place once had what it takes to be a good restaurant, worthy of demanding the prices they charge. Most certainly not... the case this evening. Read through the other 2 & 3 star reviews from the past 12 months. That pretty much sums up myexperience. This is a one and done for me I’m afraid. Read more
