| - Well, we wanted to sit on the back patio. You see, being hearing impaired, a crowded dining room is just a horrendous cacophony of sound, none of it understandable. I wish more restaurants got this.
Anyway, walked to Chelsea's as it's in my neighborhood. At 7:30 on a Friday, they were booming, even feeding people on the front patio! For me, that is just weird, dining in front of starving people waiting for a table. Daughter went to the hostess, and requested a patio table. The curt response was, "First Available, one hour wait". Sheesh, not very inviting.
We wove our way to the back patio and tried to get near the bar, after about a ten-minute wait, I was next in line and my daughter calls me to turn around, a waiter had stopped to take their drink order. That was super-nice, but I knew it meant another ten minutes easy, since he had to go back, put in the order, serve and clear tables and get our drinks back to us. I would have preferred to simply order myself at the bar, but whatever, they had already started. I have to say, the servers here do not reflect the attitude of the hostess and the guy that got our drinks picked up an easy big tip for that.
Eventually, we were called to our table, smack-dab in the middle of the cacophony. Christina, our server, quickly appeared, made sure our drinks were updated, made some recommendations and left us to decide. I was interested in the Chicken Nachito's, having stared hungrily at a woman eating them in the bar area for like, 20 minutes. (sorry panama-hat lady). I was confused by the menu description, "Chicken or Green Chile". Christina assured me that they could do both, and in fact, suggested that I try the short-rib meat too.
Damn, that girl was on her game. I went with her suggestion, and it was killer. First daughter had the Nachos, but with almond-cheese (gak!) - it's a vegetarian thing. Second daughter had the veggie burger and wife had some sort of salad, and some of my Nachito's, which I was in the process of scarfing. This was a portion so huge, that I took half of it home, and just finished it, with some of that green-chile cheese dip from Hopdoddy's poured over it. Super tasty. I highly recommend the Nachitos, bag the chicken and go for the short-rib meat. Tasty, crunchy, cheesy, fresh guacamole, sliced fresh jalapenos, it is indeed a meal in itself.
Service made this visit exceptional, I didn't get the server's name on the back patio that served us drinks, but thanks for going the extra mile! Christina was exceptional, friendly, accommodating, timely - everything a server should be - thank you Christina for making the night!
