| - Short Version: 5/5 on service and 4/5 on food. Great consistent service and food. Get the Surf and Turf Tacos or the Salmon or The Fish of The Day. Best Arnold Palmer I've ever had! BRING BACK THE LOBSTER SLIDERS!!!
Long Version: I come here a couple times a week at least because it's very close to where I work. It can get spendy coming here so frequently, but you know exactly what you're getting and the type of service you'll receive. This restaurant seems to have their process locked down. There can be a wait some times during peak hours, so try coming 30 minutes before or after 12.
I typically get 1 of 3 things which are all great: Salmon, Fish of the Day or The Surf and Turf Tacos.
The salmon is baked perfectly so it's not too dry and not undercooked. It comes on a bed of the vegetables of the moment so it changes a bit from week to week.
Their Fish of the Day obviously changes, but I've never had a bad one. Yesterday I had the Striped Sea Bass and it was awesome. It was fried so the skin was perfectly crisp, but the fish meat was moist and juicy. It came on top of artichoke hearts, which were also perfectly tender.
The Surf and Turf Tacos come with tortillas, a side of Kale Salad, Filet Mignon and Seasoned Shrimp. Pretty self explanatory, but part of what makes this one so tasty is the chipotle sauce that comes with your tacos. You make your own tacos so I'm usually liberal with the chipotle sauce. I never end up with enough tortillas though so I always have to ask for more. The tortillas are on the thicker side, but very soft.
Last but not least, my absolute favorite thing at Chelsea's Kitchen that would've given them a full 5 out of 5 stars but they got rid of it, THE LOBSTER SLIDERS. It was a perfectly crisp lightly battered (perfect, not heavy at all) fried lobster with bacon inside two soft slider buns. Everyone at our office was pretty upset that they got rid of this. Total bummer.
The Arnold Palmer is so perfect. Fresh made lemonade and they do a funky thing with egg whites to create a fun foam in it. You don't taste any eggs in it, don't worry. Get it!
