How have I not yet written a review for one of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix?!? Ok, I think it's because I've had one bad experience here out of about 10 but overall I love Chelsea. I love the atmosphere of this place and how you can have a romantic dinner inside, sit at the bar area for something more casual, or sit outside and enjoy the weather with some nice lighting in the trees. The bar is half on the inside and half on the outside so you really do have several seating options. The service staff is consistently phenomenal (with the one exception but the manager actually did a nice job handling that situation). One time we were outside and it started sprinkling. As soon as I asked to switch tables, they quickly accommodated us even though there was a wait and we were still on appetizers. Now that is service!
The food- I LOVE the menu. I always want to order everything off the menu and everything I've had has been exceptional. The deviled eggs are my guilty pleasure along with the tartare. I usually end up going with the short ribs for dinner but the fish is great as well. The short ribs have always been melt in your mouth tender and I've never heard a complaint about anything amongst all the company I've brought here. Plus, it helps that I moved out of. Phoenix, came back to visit, and saw a "goodnight Emily" drink special on the menu. Who doesn't love to see a special named after them?? The drink was pretty darn good too, not that I'm biased or anything. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!
