The chicken biscuit was crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the soft, buttery biscuits and gravy. The French toast was thick, fluffy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The portions were generous, the food came out hot and fresh, and the service was friendly. It's the kind of breakfast spot that makes you want to come back and work your way through the entire menu.

I've eaten here multiple times, and I have to push back on the "cafeteria burger" claim. These…read morepatties are clearly fresh, hand-formed, and cooked to order nothing like the frozen, pre formed disks from a school lunch line. If yours tasted bland, maybe you missed that this place leans into fresh ingredients over drowning everything in sauces. Not every burger needs mayo or mustard; some let the beef and toppings speak for themselves. As for the soggy bottom bun yes, fresh veggies release moisture. That happens in seconds anywhere if you don't eat quickly. But calling the whole experience "meh" while admitting you're going back for breakfast? That tells me the place clearly has redeeming qualities. You even said burger preferences are subjective, yet your review reads like an objective takedown. Bottom line: If you want a greasy, sauce slathered chain burger, go to Five Guys. If you want a solid, no-frills non chain burger with good service and plenty of seating (as you noted), this place delivers. And clearly, you agree it's worth a second visit.

We were on the hunt for a really good, non-chain burger. After looking at reviews, we decided to…read moregive this place a try. Service was good. It is not a big place, but plenty of seating. When it came to the food, it was meh at best. We got the jalapeno burger and the avocado burger. The patties are reminiscent of cafeteria burgers in school. There was no mayo or mustard or any type of sauce on them. The bottom bun was soggy shortly after being served, likely due to the veggies. Needless to say, we did not get our burger fix. So we won't come here again for that. Burger preferences are subjective, so just because it wasn't for us doesn't mean you can't try for yourself. We do plan to go back to try the breakfast items though.

Big shout out to him and his crew for another spectacular coffee shop in a new and well thought out location. I love the decor too b.t.w. The Yelp review site still has images of the Delaware location, and it's deceiving because I assumed it was still same location but different owners. It's the exact opposite, same great faces but different space--thankfully so. The coffee is still delicious, and you can't expect it not to be since Drew knows his coffee. The breakfast items are still the ones he had at the Delaware and all good here too. Honestly, the place has that very cool old town coffee shop charm.

The food was good, but the fries had been under the warmer for much longer than it should have and felt soggy and lifeless. I would like to try the food again at a corner cafe with good service (this was my first time eating at corner cafe) The inside was very similar to most other brunch spots with a bit of a country theme. The atmosphere felt off with all the customers crammed in one section of the restaurant with the rest of the restaurant left vacant with the lights off.

Ophelia's Restaurant had me excited before I even walked in. From the outside, it gives off a great…read morefirst impression--but unfortunately, that momentum stalled a bit at the door. My family and I entered and weren't greeted, despite there only being one other table seated. We ended up walking across the dining room ourselves before eventually being acknowledged. Not the strongest start. Once inside, the atmosphere had its ups and downs. The space itself is beautiful, but some details--like visible weeds and black tablecloths--took away from the overall polish. That said, things started to turn around once we got settled. I had the chance to meet the chef, who was incredibly personable and clearly passionate about his craft. We kicked things off with appetizers, and this is where the kitchen really began to shine. The lobster rangoons and tempura shrimp were both excellent--crispy, flavorful, and well-executed. For entrées, my daughter and sister-in-law both ordered the chef's burger and really enjoyed it. My niece had the steak frites and absolutely loved it. My wife ordered the lemon brick chicken with gnocchi and olive tapenade. After tasting it, I felt the gnocchi could have benefited from a quick sauté in clarified butter, finished with a squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs to bring out the depth the dish promised. I went with the Wagyu burger. The cook on it was spot-on, but the execution fell short. It came topped with three large slabs of bacon hanging well over the sides, making it difficult to eat without taking it apart. After adjusting it myself, I noticed it was under-seasoned--something as simple as a finishing salt would have elevated the richness of the Wagyu significantly. Overall, Ophelia's has a lot of potential. The food shows promise, the chef clearly knows his craft, and the space is visually appealing. With a few adjustments in both service and execution, this could easily become a top-tier spot. I'll be back--and I'd still recommend giving it a try. 4 out of 5 forks.

Celebrated by dining on the back patio, black rod iron tables and chairs or under a covered area adorned with ferns. But now the boxwoods are turning yellow there are no flowers, outdoor chairs on sitting on top of tables. The website says the patio opens Mother's Day however no flowers have been planted. The boutique store is now just Knick Knacks. No longer is there that surprise of what you might find scattered throughout those rooms or on the walls. I do give kudos to the food that was very good. I had steak kabobs that were cooked perfectly. The owners have added tables to the boutique which doesn't work they've got a great dining room. I'll go back for the food and cocktails in the bar and I'm hoping the patio is as charming after Mother's Day.
