Ophelia's Restaurant & Inn - Fine dining restaurant in Independence - 201 N Main St, USA

Wonderful experience and yummy food. Small plates aren’t so small! Empanadas and tacos were delicious! Strawberry 🍓 Salmon salad was mouthwatering! Our beautiful Japanese waitress Yayoi was so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable. Thank you Chef Bobby for your creative dishes !

Good wine list. Above average craft cocktails. We had an Old Fashion and a Manhattan. The Old Fashion was great. I think they muddled a blackberry for a nice flavor. Apparently they also do wine dinners, but we were only passing through town.

This was a first time for my hubby and I to stay in Kansas City. The room was lovely and the staff were friendly. Unfortunately, we didn’t know that most restaurants and places shut down about 2:30pm on Sundays and barely anything opens on Mondays. Meaning no breakfast. So, if you don’t have a car, it’s better to look elsewhere if you plan on staying in this location on Sundays & Mondays.

Restaurant. Party of 25 women for a Saturday Buffet for $26 or $34.65 with tax and gratuity. Medium bowl of cut fruit, stale mini muffins-tiny muffins, egg quiche,small biscuits, gravy & bacon. I don't eat pork so I didn't have any meat. Bread, gravy & eggs for $34.65. Very disappointed. The waitress did not even come around to get drinks requests. Most women did not get their iced tea. We ran out of bacon and they would not give us more. It was very expensive for nothing.

I went to visit with family not expecting much on the way of food. And I really wasn't sure after reading the menu. But wow that was probably the best burger I've had out in years. Price was a little high but I will pay for quality. Worth the price for sure.

While the food was good, it was sub par to the pricing and the service level was somewhere below that of a truck stop buffet. It took 10 minutes to get water, another 15 (and a nudge to the wait staff) to get our cocktails. If an establishment wishes to set their pricing at a premium level, and they want return visits, Ophelia's needs to elevate their staff & dishes as well. Our lesson was learned.

Came here for Restaurant Week 2024. I always drive past this place and wondered about it. I'm glad my wife and I stopped in. The restaurant layout was nice and looked to be a great space for date night. Our server, Steve, was kind and super helpful. My RW items selected were the French Onion soup, Chicken & Shrimp Pasta, and Pistachio Carrot Cake. My wife ordered the Citrus Grilled Salmon. The food tasted great. The salmon had a nice crisp bite on the exterior but maintained a nice level of flakiness. The chicken and shrimp pasta had a delicious creme sauce that tied the dish together. I'd definitely go back.

I LOVE this place and the food is amazing but the brunch buffet was not good. The salad was wilted and everything was room temperature.
