Excellent omelets in a lovely atmosphere (we were between normal dining times so it was relaxed and quiet). A real oasis in GCT.

Had a table of 6 this past Saturday night. Seated promptly in a cute little alcove. Not ideal for the views, but was perfect to really connect with our larger group. The service was fantastic. Felt very well-taken care of. The food was amazing! Everyone had varied dishes and we all loved them. (The burrata and peaches was out of this world. Would love to know how they made the little balsamic balls - OMG!) The interior was 1920's sheek and so fun. Highly recommend Ophelia!
