Welcome to Ophelia's Restaurant & Inn
Say Hello to Chef Cameron Kelly!
We're very excited to have Chef Cameron Kelly taking charge in our kitchens, with his extensive knowledge of the restaurant business; something he has been part of for decades. A graduate of the Louisiana Culinary Institute and a New Orleans native, Chef Cameron brings a unique style and flavor to the city of Independence that we can't wait to try! He's previously worked as the Executive Chef at Driftwood Cask and Barrel in downtown Baton Rouge, The Landing Bistro in Warsaw, Missouri, and even providing from-scratch meals for the entirety of Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri.
Now he will move on to Ophelia's, cultivating the ideal that community comes first, and working closely with local farmers to bring a true farm-to-table experience, creating locally sustainable dishes that showcase his love of flavor combinations and fusion cuisine that is not only palatable for all, but helps keep local food on local tables. Chef Cameron is excited about this new chapter in life and is eager to bring his creativity to the people of Independence and beyond.
With these changes, Ophelia's will be closed the week of May 11th with a reopening date of May 18th. This will give Chef Cameron time to learn our current menu while teaching the kitchen about a few of his own recipes he'd like to introduce to everyone. Likewise, we will be doing rigorous staff training as we add new employees to various positions in order to better serve you as we return to being fully open with the dine in experiences that you love. Training will include everything from servers, wine training, cocktail training, food specials, and our plans to implement other fun features such as a variety of teas (including one made specifically for Ophelia's!), tableside French press, and more! While we regret closing our doors to you again, we do it knowing that we will have so much more to offer you when we open up once more, and we hope that you'll be as excited as we are when it comes to what the future holds!
