     This was our first dining experience at the Beach House. It was easy to book on OpenTable. The valet parking was convenient. Arty welcomed us and gave us a seat on the deck unfortunately due to inclement weather the shades were down so we will return to see what it is like without wind, shades or tuna appetizer was excellent. We had a mixed drink, which was fine. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her salmon, and I really enjoyed my swordfish on a bit of broccolini it was a great setting for date night. Jared was very attentive and gave us excellent service.

    Beautiful restaurant on the bay. The staff are amazing, friendly and made us feel so welcome. Our dishes were presented beautifully. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the baked Connecticut blue point oysters were so out of this world that we ordered a second one!If you’re looking for a more upscale experience in Siesta Keys then Ophelia’s will not dissapoint. Their wine menu is fantastic as well!

    We took 3 visiting 19 year old granddaughters to dinner. We asked for an and were seated at a window table so they could enjoy the waterfront view. The hostess interacted with them and asked from what area they were visiting. It made them feel special. My order was for the grilled red snapper and it was beautifully prepared, perhaps the best snapper I've had ever. My husband and 1 of the girls had grouper and were also pleased. 2 other girls got seafood pasta which had bounty of shrimp and crab in it. My husband and I ate the leftovers of their ample seafood pasta servings 2 days later and will agree at the yummy cheesiness and seasonings and mild fish quality and texture. I especially appreciated that meals come with choice of salad, starch and vegetable included in the price versus a la carte sides that one cannot tell the number these sides will serve. It makes for easier ordering by each person and no food waste.
