Went with the salt and pepper burger. It was super simple, but had a great flavor and you could taste the freshness of the ingredients. The fries were also great. Reasonably priced, and excellent service! Really good lunch spot.

Visited The Chelsea today for the first time. We went for brunch. This is our new favorite brunch spot in CT. The place has a cool vibe, and the design is just cool.The service was great, staff all friendly and personable.The food is a 10 out of 10. Im a big eggs benedict guy, get it for brunch just about every time we go out, and it's on the menu. My eggs Benedict this afternoon was hands down the best i have ever had. My wife had the Chelsea scramble and my son the breakfast burrito, and both said their meals were perfect as well. If you're looking for a cool, friendly, clean place for brunch, I will happen to be in the Fairfield area i highly recommended The Chelsea.Can't wat to go for dinner.

Enjoyed the calamari and Chelsea burger along with the salmon with risotto entree. Seated near the front door so a tad chilly.Cocktaila were good. Priced for the area.

Visit 1: Good casual dining and bar. It would get a solid four for the food, but service is slow during busy times. Also, please clean the windows and sills. We had a spider crawl on us from the window webs..eeks (see photo). I’d like to believe the kitchen is more hygienic.Visit 2: Tried Friday night takeout recently. After a half hour wait, I left. The experience was so incompetent and sloppy I have to downgrade this review. Again, service here seems to crumble at busy times.

This is a cute little place for lunch or dinner. It's in the downtown of Fairfield by the train station. They have inside and outside seating. There is parking next to the restaurant. The wait staff was good and very accommodating. They have a somewhat small menu but there were enough choices. The portions are also very big.
Perfect summer spot. Refreshing cocktail, great salad, and lovely service.

We came here for a couple of appetizers and drinks before a concert at FTC. We go the nachos and calamari. Service was great and perfect with timing. We were seated quickly. Although descriptions say this place has a patio, it’s just tables on a sidewalk. Bathroom was very clean as well as around us. The nachos were yummy but they can be quite difficult to eat as the toppings are heavily packed on. The calamari was a no for us. VERY salty to the point where it was unbearable. But overall, a good experience.

Great restaurant, very well run. Very good service, excellent food, great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor dining, in downtown Fairfield. Cozy rustic interior, soft lighting, reasonable buzz from the crowd. Dined here many times and it is consistently very good. Estimate $50/person for the full dining experience. One criticism - the most pathetic Old Fashioned cocktail I've ever had. Other cocktails (Blueberry Lemonade, Peach Sangria, etc) all excellent.Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is on ground floor. Should be fine with a wheelchair.

Great restaurant with a good twist on old traditions. For example, my Cobb salad had all the traditional ingredients but instead of chopped hard boiled egg, it came with a poached egg, which is delicious. In addition, instead of the blue cheese crumbles, I got a thick creamy blue cheese that is definitely higher quality…Parking: Private shared parking lot + street parking
