| - To me, there are few finer patios in all of Phoenix than the one at Chelsea's!! Great ambiance, good jams and most importantly, yummy food!
So I end up at Chelsea's at least once every two weeks, so I'll highlight some of my favs...
Wine list - yes, their selections are bit pricey, but there are some hard to find bottles on that menu that are simply wonderful!! The Argyle Brut Rose that is only available at Sportsmans etc for half the year is always on the list and it does not disappoint! Bella Glos, Seghesio, Summerland and the Sinister's Hand - what could be better! I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it!
For food - love the shrimp ceviche, although I wish they would ix nay the olives as they are a weird addition, but I just eat around them! Love all the tacos, the prime rib is delish and the rotisserie chicken - TDF! Don't forget your sides too at only $3 each!! How can you skip the french fries (extra crispy, extra ketchup!), mac and cheese and usually the farmer's market veggies?? Fabulous (said like Oprah!)
My most recent discovery yesterday was off the brunch menu - the chilaquiles!! WOW!! It is described as Mexican lasagna, but it is so freaking good and so much more that that! I'm usually part of the clean half your plate club, but this dish I showed no mercy! Amazing!
Andddd, my review of Chelsea's would not be complete without a full nod to my favorite - the brussel sprout salad (add chicken!)! Simple, light, delightful! It really is a gem!
My only knocks are that they don't take reservations for groups of less than 6 or 8 (I can never remember) and it's annoying for the GF BF that their corn tortillas have flour in them (no Chilaquilies for him!). Other than that, it's a dream that I hope to see again very soon!
Don't forget to grab a salty, chewy cookie on the way out!!
