“Always a great time. Good food and fantastic service behind the bar!“

“Great food... the best Mahi tacos. If you're there on a crowded night the waitstaff absolutely hustles, never a wait. The space is small, go early if you want to sit at a table on a night there is music.

Update 12/23/24... STILL love this place. I just wish it was bigger!“

“I like my wings fried a certain way, I asked them to fry them exactly how I like and they came out better than expected. Also very convenient after 12:00am there isn’t too many options on the late side of things, it was about 1:00am when I ordered.“

“We just enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening. We started with the buratta app. Fresh buratta with tomato jam and chopped kalamata olives, the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I then had the shrimp and grits for my entree and it was also good. The "holy" trinity sauce was quite flavorful. I'm so glad I ventured from my normal order, which had also always been yummy.“

“Have visited twice & both times had good service at the bar. Food delivered in a timely manner, and was as expected. Very good. Only disappointment was there were small children running around the bar area. Not much supervision from the parents. Was not enjoying the loud music either. Why can’t restaurants play nice soft music? Other than that, it won’t stop us from returning.“

“We just had a bridal shower there in May 2025. We picked Chelsea Tavern because it was in a central location for our 2 families to come together and celebrate. All I can say is that everything was fantastic! The service, the room, the attention to detail was perfect! The food was phenomenal! The portions were huge and tasted terrific! Madelyn was a wonderful hostess and Rob the best bartender and pancake bar chef! We couldn’t ask for a better day. Picking Chelsea Tavern was the best decision and the bride to be was so happy and said everything was exactly as she had imagined. Thank you to everyone involved, it was the most special day 🌸💗🌸“

“Such great bartenders Jules and Erin and a great atmosphere and great locals there“

“While spending and afternoon shopping my husband and I decided to stop for a lunch break at Nordstrom Grille. Our crab bisque was phenomenal, the lunch plates were so flavorful and to top it off we shared a lemon ricotta cookie that was absolutely delicious. I would recommend others to stop in and dine. It was filling and enjoyable.“

“Great rink with amazing people.“

“The hot wings are spectacular, consistently extra crispy as ordered.“
