Kudos to the chef who keeps changing up the menu. It's like a new restaurant experience whenever we visit this place. That said, flavor, quality, presentation and service all remain consistently top notch and exceed our expectations every time. The desert and sunset views from every table are absolutely stunning. The dining room is elegant and comfortable. Not stuffy or or over the top lavish. Tastefully done. Finally I have to mention the excellent service. Dan our waiter was amazing.

The staff has no problem taking pictures for you with the beautiful background which was really nice of them. I have to eat gluten and dairy free and ordered the market fish. I had to get it without the sauce because the sauce had dairy. Instead of substituting, they just gave me a plain fish with nothing on it, not even salt. In addition, my husband was supposed to get extra vegetables in lieu of gnocchi and he got 6 small slivers of squash. My plate had more than his with "extra vegetables". I might give this place another chance, but the food was a let down for us. The gluten free/dairy free dessert option added 1 star to my initial 3 star review.

You could tell that time had been spent to train them. We came in right at 6:30 for our reservation and Isaac squeezed in a round of drinks on happy hour. The spicy watermelon margarita was great. Flavorful and a good little kick. They had a dj and the music was a little loud when we first came in and then it settled to a perfect balance of lively but being able to carry a conversation. My bet is they have it a little louder during happy hour. We ordered chips and salsa. The salsa was one of the best restaurant salsas I've had. We opted for the restaurant week menu. I had a shrimp and scallop cake-kind of like a crab cake that was really good and had a nice sauce to complement it. My husband started with the salad which had a lime vinaigrette dressing that was obviously house made and delicious. I had the flat iron steak with a great sauce of mushrooms onions and poblanos. It came with scalloped potatoes. My husband had mahi mahi and both were super yummy. We would have liked some kind of green vegetable so next time we'll be sure to order a side of veggies à la carte. They brought out some salsa, chimichurri, queso fresco, and pickled red onion with our entrees. All was flavorful. My entree came with a couple tortillas so my husband used those with those accoutrements. For dessert we had the churros that were piping hot and super fresh. They came with a chocolate, a strawberry and a vanilla cream sauce. All really good. The mango sorbet has a sauce that was super tart so keep that in mind. The chef was going around to various tables & very friendly. We overheard one of the servers saying he's a 3rd generation chef from Nogales. This restaurant has been open since January. I wish I had known about it sooner!

Our server was Parker. He was pretty chill, he even made us a free drink to taste. They don't have amaretto (what in the world), so he made a similar style of drink. It was decent. The food was a mixed bag. We started with the Calamari. It was pretty good, the Aioli and Marinara complimented it well. I had the Wedge Salad for my entree and while it was beautiful, I wish it had more of a sweetness to it. It was very one-note (salty). My Mom liked her Salmon but noted that the Forbidden Rice tasted a bit underdone. Would we come back? Not sure. Did Parker do a good job taking care of us, and was the food decent? Yes!

The bluefish maka roll was subtle but incredibly flavorful, and the bluefin sashimi was excellent. The hamachi crudo was a standout. The Arizona sake was a pleasant surprise--very good--and the cocktails were well-crafted and perfectly balanced. Outdoor dining was delightful. It could get a bit noisy at times with the street traffic, but it honestly added to the overall ambiance. Service was great, though a bit slower than expected. Lesson learned: order a few tapas at once. That said, we never felt rushed, even with a table of 10, and the team handled everything really well. We've definitely found a new favorite.

The only real miss of the night was my daughter's beef stroganoff. They swapped traditional egg noodles for spaghetti-style noodles, and overall the dish just missed the mark for her.

‼!!!WARNING!!!‼ We came in with a group of eight for a…read morebachelorette party expecting to enjoy dinner, spend money, and have a great night. Instead, we were publicly embarrassed and treated like criminals for absolutely no reason. After we were seated, I closed the curtain because the table next to us was loud and obnoxious. Minutes later, the manager, Hannah, walked over and decided our entire group was "too intoxicated" to be served. Not a single person in our group was causing a scene, being disrespectful, or acting out of control. We were sitting at our table, ordering dinner. What makes this even more ridiculous is that after taking our drink order, Hannah personally brought out three green tea drinks in champagne glasses. Then, almost immediately afterward, she decided we were somehow too intoxicated to stay. Which is it? If we were supposedly too drunk to be there, why were drinks being served in the first place? We had already ordered what would have been around a $700 meal, and instead of being treated with basic respect, we were stereotyped because we were a bachelorette party. It felt like Hannah had already made up her mind before giving us any chance to prove otherwise. Restaurants absolutely have the right to refuse service to genuinely intoxicated guests. What they should not do is make assumptions based on the type of celebration or the size of a group. This wasn't responsible service--it was poor judgment, inconsistent management, and an incredibly embarrassing way to treat paying customers. We'll happily spend our money somewhere that values its guests instead of profiling them. !!! DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR BUSINESS!!! We ended up at ZUZUs, they treated us with respect and dignity. Food was 10/10.

Chelsea's Kitchen is one of those places that really captures what makes dining in Arizona so…read moreenjoyable. The outdoor patio is beautiful, with string lights, a brick fireplace, and surrounding trees that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's a fantastic setting for dinner, especially when the weather is nice. We had quite the spread, including the Chicken Nachitos, Green Chile Cornbread, LGO Short Rib Tacos, Ribeye Tacos, and Green Chile Burger. The nachitos were piled high with chicken, melted cheese, guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, and jalapeños. Although they're no longer listed on the current menu, I wanted to include them because they were part of our experience. I actually appreciate how Chelsea's Kitchen changes its menu over time, giving guests something different to look forward to while keeping some familiar favorites. The Green Chile Burger was another standout in presentation, featuring roasted green chiles and melted cheddar, with macaroni and cheese on the side. The short ribs and grilled ribeye came with colorful accompaniments, including guacamole, pico de gallo, and a kale salad. The Green Chile Cornbread was also beautifully presented in a small skillet with a golden crust and butter on the side. We also tried the Brussels Sprout Salad with manchego, almonds, dried fruit, and bacon, which offered a nice contrast to the heartier dishes. The cocktails were thoughtfully presented, and we finished the evening with key lime pie and a refreshing sorbet. Beyond the food, the patio is what makes Chelsea's Kitchen particularly memorable. Between the fireplace, warm lighting, and lively but comfortable atmosphere, it's the kind of place where you can easily spend an entire evening catching up with friends or family. The service here is always amazing and feels like a concierge level service. Overall, Chelsea's Kitchen offers a wonderful combination of Southwestern-inspired dishes, generous portions, and a beautiful outdoor dining experience. I especially appreciate a restaurant that continues evolving its menu rather than keeping everything the same year after year. Definitely a place worth revisiting to see what's new!
