Absolutely delicious brunch date at Ophelia's this morning! This Flora Latte with tastes of lavender and roses was out of this world! One of the best well balanced latte I have ever had! I had the steak and eggs. Espresso rubbed ribeye cooked to perfection with 2 eggs and gooey house tots. My husband had steak Benedict with a side of French toast with apple compote. Food was wonderful and the atmosphere is so whimsical. Can't wait to go back!

I've been wanting to try here for awhile now and Savor Fort Wayne, I thought would be the best time. This place is an old house converted into a pretty cozy restaurant, that during spring/summer months have outside dining also. On the menu, we had the 14oz ribeye and the 8oz blue cheese encrusted filet both came with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Both meats did come out cooked to proper temp but that's where it stopped. My ribeye was ice cold and the compound butter was not melted at all. The broccoli wasn't bad though it did need seasoning. The mash potatoes were more like mashed hash browns topped with cheese but I received a smaller portion compared to my companion. I did return the steak only to have the server return 5 mins later with a plate that was hot but still the same steak, that was hot on top but obviously cold on the bottom. Which tells me the lack of care on the chefs part and the fact that it was placed in a salamander to be reheated. The server, Aubrey, did her best to make sure things went smoothly afterwards and in fact did bring me another properly cooked steak served hot w/ melting compound butter*. For dessert it was shortbread with whipped cream and blueberry compote, a nice ending for the meal. With that said, I would like to try their brunch menu as it did look delicious and would like to give them a second chance, hopefully for the better! *hence the two plates in the pic stacked, this was the second steak.

Outstanding breakfast from start to finish. Every component on the plate was executed perfectly. The potato bites are unreal — crispy outside, soft inside, with an explosion of pure fried potato flavor. I added an egg to the sourdough toast and it was phenomenal; the bread has that ideal tang, chew, and toast that soaks everything up just right. The bacon deserves its own mention: cooked perfectly right in that sweet spot between crispy and wiggly. Thick-cut, very fresh, and clearly high quality — clean, rich flavor with no grease overload. What really stands out is that this is a family-owned spot with a real focus on fresh ingredients and minimal processing. You can taste the difference in every bite. Service was excellent — Ellie was attentive, friendly, and made the meal feel relaxed and unrushed. You can tell this place cares deeply about both the food and the experience. This is how breakfast should be done. I’ll absolutely be back.

We love Ophelia’s so much. It’s one of our favorite places. The atmosphere is just absolutely adorable. The servers and workers are amazing. Genuinely kind human beings. The food is good quality. Just make sure to make your reservations ahead! They book up and it’s no surprise why! I have been so many times I can not longer count, and I have never had a bad experience ❤️

Super cute little place!! It’s very small and a little bit cramped inside, but we were out on the patio which was super nice (except the bees but that’s just nature for ya). Will definitely make a reservation next time I go, especially if it’s on a weekend. The drinks were great, I loved my Bloody Mary!! Food was decent but not as great as I would expect for the price.
