The Chelsea

The food was just a good as my last visit and I tried something new - French toast. It was actually pretty good. This visit was overall good, but not as amazing as the last time. The waiter seemed a little new and very quiet, but he was nice. I didn't like that we had to ask about the champagne birthday toast, even though we said we were celebrating a birthday. Also, they stopped the pigs in the blanket and that's what I was looking forward to the most. Otherwise, I'd go back.

Throughly enjoyed it!Super cute interior decor, great for photo ops. Got to enjoy the last day of the menu of the season. Menu seems to change every once in awhile. So always a surprise! Started out with some Canadian east coast oysters. Quite fresh and tasted good with all of the accompaniments. Next was the calamari, they were fried perfectly and seasoned well and paired nicely with a creamy aioli. After that we also got the broccolini. Roasted well and was crispy and cheesey. For the mains, ordered the crab bucatini (made with fresh squid ink pasta + mushrooms and huge lumps of crab). Could tell it was made in house and loved the generous amount of crab that was given. Another main course, was the lobster pot pie. Great flavors, HUGE portion and the puff pastry was nicely baked and meshed well with the creamy pie filling. For dessert, got the basque cheesecake and it was a great ending to our meal (they don't comp for birthdays) but did throw in a glass of champagne.Parking - complimentary valet (they will validate at the restaurant with a QR code for you to scan). Restrooms - semi clean. Black toilet seats were different. Would like to come back for some brunch!

The food was okay. We tried various dishes for brunch. Our server seemed to be in a different place. He showed no interest and was very unattentive. The place itself was a total vibe. They had a Dj and the drinks were flowing. Such a cute spot. I would only probably come for drinks and enjoy the patio vibes.

First things first, give my girl Alyssa a raise. That's it. That's the review because phewwww. You want to talk about STELLAR customer service from start to finish....it was my girl. So many servers and wait staff could learn A LOT from her but I guess I should tell y'all why everything else was great. Alright so boom, my friend and I had just left church and we wanted to do brunch. I've had The Chelsea on my list for a while but for some reason, never made it here. I had her call to see if they had availability for two and they certainly did. We got there within 10 mins, gave the car to valet, which is complimentary btw, and went right in. I'm a sucker for an aesthetically pleasing restaurant and The Chelsea gave me just that. We were one of two other tables at the time so it was nice to have the place almost to ourselves for the first 30 mins of our meal. Alyssa (ugh such a sweetheart), came over to the table, introduced herself and dropped off some menus for us. We ordered hot tea (wish they had green tea as an option) and for my meal, I went with the lobster & waffles. Our meal came out in about 15 mins but sadly, mine was a bit cold. Alyssa, with no hesitation, had the kitchen remake my meal and it was much better!! The lobster was tasty (wish I got a bit more) and not too bad for the price point of $26. The brunch menu is good but limited so don't come here expecting a Cheesecake Factory type of menu. I enjoyed everything about this experience! I already reserved a table for dinner with my girls here this coming week. Can't wait to see what their dinner is like.

Went for a happy hour event. It's a nice place with a nice location in the Montrose Collective. They validate valet parking. They have a weekday happy hour from 3-6. They have a lot of fun cocktail options and a few mocktails. There can be a little bit of a wait for drinks it seems, so keep that in mind if trying to order for happy hour. The food is good as well and worth a visit. The place has a more upscale feel with a lot of golden trim and marble. The place is newer and opened pretty recently. I will be back to try more of the food then will update y'all on it.

What a perfect first experience at The Chelsea!!! I met up with someone here for dinner and drinks and I so loved the vibe! Initially, I was anxious about parking so I called beforehand. They do have a complimentary digital valet service so it was easy! The restaurant is in the Montrose Collective structure and easy to find. My initial reaction upon seeing the place was WOW! From the decor, color motif and adorning pieces and eclectic atmosphere, I knew I was going to have a good night! I was greeted and seated at a booth - made a reservation prior. It wasn't busy on a Tuesday night - just a couple corporate people enjoying drinks at the bar - so it felt more private.I ordered an espresso martini to start! This is my fave drink. Amir, our server, asked if I wanted it with Vodka or Tequila and I was surprised! Didn't know I could have it with Tequila, so I tried it! It actually had an extra kick! Loved it!Food wise, ordered Smoke Fish Toast and Short Rib to share. Soooooo delicious!!!! My favorite was our dessert - Choux Choux's which are assorted profiteroles! What I liked about it is the presentation which quite reminds me of a tea party!!! Super pretty!Service was really good and engaging! I think this is a new favorite spot for mw and will definitely come back here to try other stuff! I really liked the cozy, romantic ambiance it offered!!Prices are at par, as well!

Visited during the first few weeks and they were already doing great! Beautifully appointed space with lots of seating options (booths, tables, bar, etc). We tried a bunch of things on the menu and I enjoyed all the dishes. Everything was fresh and executed well; the scallops and jamon iberico were my favorites. It is a bit pricey which can be typical for the area. Valet is right out front but it can get crowded really quickly as it's just off the street and can clog up Westheimer. I prefer the parking garage on Grant just next door.

The Chelsea is a stunning ambiance. Great place to bring out of town guests for a pre or post dinner drink! Hope to be back soon to try the food. The service was quick & the bartender was knowledgeable about all of the cocktails on the menu.

This restaurant ignored several attempts at contact for 4 days. They have not picked up the phone 25+ times, ignored 3 voicemails, an Instagram DM, and emails sent to their specific email & management group email. I had hoped to speak to a Manager about this experience, instead of having to write this review but it has come to this.We made this reservation to try new place with 3 guests from out of town. Restaurant was not full - only 5 tables seated maximum. Took almost 10 minutes after we were seated for the hostess, not waitress to bring us waters. Another 10 minutes go by, hostess lets us know the waitress will be by soon.Manoucheka finally comes to our table nearly 20 minutes after we had been sat. Does not introduce herself. Stands at the far end of table and says "Do you know what you want to order yet?".We were caught off guard at her abruptness. Asked if we could order drinks first. She was completely silent, did not respond. We ordered drinks and she walked off as we tried to order an appetizer. Another long time before anyone comes by our table, this time it is the hostess bringing us our drinks. She only brings 4 of the 5. Took about 5 minutes and had to catch the attention of a staff member cleaning the tables to get the last drink brought to us. We order finally order 2 appetizers from Manoucheka and start to order each entree when someone from another one of her tables approaches her, she flips her hand up in my friend's face and says "Wait." and walks away.She returns to take the rest of our orders without any acknowledgment or apology.The male staff member that was clearing the tables, brings the feta appetizer without the rolls we ordered and 4 pieces of bread for 5 people. When the hostess walks by we asked if we could get another slice of bread since there was 5 of us and she said "Oh I'll have to ask if the kitchen will allow that". It is odd that we would not even be served the proper amount of food for our group. Another 15 minutes go by before the "rolls" were brought out. These were so clearly frozen. They were as hard as a hockey puck. Had no flavor and were room temperature to the point where the butter wasn't even melting. They were barely edible.Eventually, our entrees were brought out, but again only 4 and the fifth person had to wait at least 5 minutes to get the meal brought to the table. Two people ordered the fried chicken - one person didn't get any of the side butter/honey and we had to flag down the individual cleaning tables again to ask him because Manoucheka NEVER came to check on our table.We watched her interact with her two other tables; frequently stopping to ask if they needed anything and clearly being nice to them but she was disrespectful and ignored us and she decided this before us having any interaction with her.We sat with our empty plates of food for at least 15 minutes before I stopped the other staff member in the hallway on the way to the bathroom to ask for the check.Manoucheka brings us the check after the staff member and hostess had cleared our plates and I noticed there was a 20% gratuity automatically added.I consulted the menu to see if that was noted anywhere because our party was only a party of 5, not typically considered a large party.I politely asked her if automatic gratuity was automatically added to every check. She got defensive saying that we were a large party so that's why she added it. I asked what quantifies a large party (since we were only 5 and typically large party means 8, maybe 6 people) and she rolled her eyes at me and said "whatever I'll take it off if you want".I did ask her to take it off. She completely ignored us the entire time, was down right rude putting her hands in our faces and rolling her eyes and then tried to pull one over on us by ensuring she'd get 20% gratuity. That is disrespectful. The only reason I left any tip at all is because the hostess and the gentleman with the longer dark hair cleaning the tables deserved it.This was the worst dining experience I have had in all my years in Houston.

My mother and I tried it and thought the restaurant it's self is cute and photo worthy, the food just wasn't for us. It wasn't terrible, just didn't stand out to us.The drinks were cute, but lacked flavor in my opinion. The staff is very friendly, the place is very clean, decor is beautiful.
