What Our Clients are Saying
“A great menu selection, generous portions, and seriously tasty Southern dishes! The drink menu is amazing—lots of unique combinations with a great beer selection, too. The fried green tomato appetizer and the shrimp and grits are my two favorites. The wait staff is friendly and helpful with suggestions. This is an awesome downtown spot.”
Holly C.“I was pleased with the selection of beer on tap and my wife was able to try a new wine she really liked. I’ve never had anything like the Duck Spring Rolls—they were delicious. I ordered the Paella Risotto as my main entrée, and, to finish, we shared the coconut cream pie and coffee. Simply amazing!”
David W.“My husband and I don’t go out much, but when we do, we are always happy to dine at The Chelsea. The food is always delicious, the staff is always courteous and owner, Chris Hoveland, always stops by to say hello. We recommend this place to friends and family who are visiting because they will not be disappointed.”
