Sarasota/Siesta Key
But few people have spent time
on the tranquil bay side of Siesta
Key, where mangroves and wild
tropical flowers provide a natural
ambience conducive to
elegant dining.
Ophelia's foods may at
first glance
may
seem American, like Duck or
Grouper, but every item is
subjected to a continental
interpretation.
Ophelia's has annually earned high
ratings from the Zagat Dining
Guide, as well as the "Best of
the Best" from Fla. Trend and
Sarasota magazines. It is also
winner of the People's Choice
"Best Waterfront Restaurant."
