    I have lunch at Connor’s at least once a month. I view it as a combination of excellent food and reasonable prices. I’m particularly fond of their half price happy hour. It’s pretty easy to have a delicious meal and a beer for $20. That’s hard to find these days. Today our server was Frank and he couldn’t have been more attentive. He let us take our time before before ordering, checked if we needed anything during the meal and then wrapped up leftovers for us. If you haven’t gone already, treat yourself to lunch at Connor’s and I think you’ll be happy.

    Greeted and sat quickly, server was personable and attentive, especially to the little ones we brought with us. It was a busy day and a little noisy, but when the private party room guests left, it returned to the normal ambiance that we’re used to at Libby’s. Overall, a great day!

    Good food at this local establishment that has been on siesta key for years. Service was great. The menu has not changed in several years and is due for a change in our opinion – they used to have the best roast duck anywhere, it was a big seller and yet they took it off the menu when they revised it 2 or 3 years ago; they need to bring the duck back and a few other dishes That were taken off the menu. The mushroom pizza is gone and was also terrific. Still a great local restaurant

    This was the fifth time we had dinner at Ophelia’s and it was awesome as always. The staff is so friendly and helpful, everything was timed perfectly. I had the best duck ever and my wife had lobster risotto that was amazing. It’s so good they were able to recover from the recent hurricanes! We will be back soon.

    Our server must of have had too many tables. We did not receive the exceptional service that we have experienced in the past. The food as always was exceptional, worth every penny spent on the marvelous steak. The piano music was so loud that we could not have conversation at the table. I realize that it is Christmas party season so that accounts for a bit of noise in the restaurant. We will be back again after the holiday season when we know that service will be back to the exceptional standard of Micheals on East
