| - Another restaurant that was hyped up so much that when the wife and I finally made it a point to visit, on our anniversary no less, the letdown seemed inevitable.
It is a very nice looking restaurant inside, and it is kind of serene tucked inside an area dense with trees in the midst of a bunch of other businesses.
I had no qualms with the service either. That was just fine. The reason I have a hard time rating Chelsea's anything higher than a 3-star is simply that the food was just...underwhelming. The hype + the cost had us both expecting to be blown away, but the suggested short rib tacos and green chili burger didn't live up to comparable items at other restaurants for a fraction of the price.
I would still say it was a pleasant dining experience, but there are plenty of other places in the valley that offer more flavorful food and at far better costs.
-------------------------------UPDATE-------------------------------
I have to hand it to Chelsea's. Customer service-wise, they are a shining example to all other restaurants in the valley. Due to my original 3-star review, the management asked that we give them another chance, and invited us back, on them.
This time we tried the chicken nachos, which were tasty and filling. So filling that we were unable to finish even half of the burger we'd both ordered.
We brought this kids this time, and they can be difficult, but Chelsea's was completely accommodating. This restaurant may appeal to the well-to-do, but the service is anything but pretentious. The servers and the management are masters in customer service.
