| - Chelsea's Kitchen was on my "Places to Try for Brunch" list for a while. Months ago, I ran across an article on azcentral.com that listed Chelsea Kitchen a must try place for brunch because they were offering unlimited mimosas for $12 on Saturdays. Unfortunately, I never made it. Sunday, 5 of us went to Chelsea's kitchen for brunch. 2 of my friends were there when I arrived, waiting patiently with mimosas. They immediately told me ... bad news ... No more unlimited mimosas. I wasn't too bummed out because I thought the unlimited mimosas deal was Saturdays only. Once our server came over to take my drink order, I ordered a mimosa anyway. She also told me immediately ... we no longer do unlimited mimosas. Obviously, this was a big deal for patrons of Chelsea's Kitchen! After all of us ordered one mimosa, one of my friends ordered a pitcher of Sangria. The Sangria pitchers are made with white wine only. There was a bit too much fruit in it for our liking. It made the sangria VERY bitter, way too much lemon and orange. Another friend ordered a Bellini. About 20 -30 minutes later the server came to bring us out food and we asked about the Bellini. She informed us that the bar was a little backed up because it's prime brunch time. ... Understood! She then also informed us that they do not serve Bellinis and she thought he ordered a Bloody Mary. Huh?! Bellini and Bloody Mary doesn't sound alike at all so we're not sure why she thought he said Bloody Mary but hey ....
On to the good part. The food was out of this world good. I ordered the short rib hash - Delicious! Scrumptious from the first bite, however it was cold ...not cold as if the plate was in the refrigerator, but cold as in it sat back there in the kitchen for a while. Another friend ordered the chicken tacos. He loved them. Another friend ordered the Mexican chicken meal (I can't remember the name) but that dish was cold! She let us try it, I stuck my fork into the very middle of her dish and for sure .. it was cold. Another friend ordered his meal a la carte. He ordered 3 eggs and 1 order of bacon. What he received was 1 egg and 3 orders of bacon. He has about 8 -10 pieces of bacon on his plate and 1 scrawny cold egg. We mentioned this to the server and she said nope .. this is correct. My short rib hash came with 2 eggs on top, the 2 eggs on top of my Short Rib Hash was more than the "supposedly" 2 eggs on his plate so we all knew this was wrong. The server's defense "Well if I were to cook 3 or 4 eggs at home it wouldn't look like this either". We all just looked at each other in confusion. She offered to put in another order for 1 more egg but who in the heck is paying for another cold, very small egg. Lastly, another friend ordered the prime rib with kale salad. That was the only warm dish! Honestly, the only warm one.
Although the flavors were really good, we still ate our food in disappointment because everything was cold and the service was bad. I was the only one that's never been to Chelsea Kitchen so I didn't know what to expect but my friends have and they were super disappointed. When we asked for our bill we noticed that my friend's receipt said "2 eggs and 1 side of bacon". We knew damn well he didn't receive 3 eggs in the first place and instead of the server saying "If I were to cook 3-4 eggs at home" it wouldn't look like this", she should have said "Wow, you're right. Let me check on this". That would have been greatly appreciated.
I'm giving Chelsea's Kitchen a 4 star review anyway because the food was so damn tasty ... everything was. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. I'd like to try them again ... maybe for happy hour.
