Once you get over the fact that this place is a hole in the wall dive (which is a positive in my book), prepare to be impressed. We've lived in the Valley almost 8 years and never gotten around to eating here. Now that we have, we'll definitely be back. The free samples of their most popular dishes was helpful since I'm not crazy about spicy food. I had the Emerald chicken with fried rice. The sauce over the chicken was awesome. My only issue was that there were way too many green onions in the fried rice, but that's a minor thing. Next time I'll just get plain rice. Hubby had the Red chicken and a few other things I don't remember, and said they were good. And of course, the snickerdoodles were totally a random thing but delicious. Even better, this place is CHEAP!

Oh Chelsea... I envy you. You have 54 reviews, why not one more? Chelsea's Kitchen is located on a sort of "landmark" for me; this location (not building - just real estate) has been so many fun things over the years. I am happy that Chelsea found her home here. The menu changes with specials and chef's delights, so one night you might find yourself eating a surf and turf and the next a really great seasonal salad. The drinks are flowing (try the LGO) - I didn't like their beer selection, but no biggie the pitcher of LGOs made us happy. I LOVE the fact that their menu doesn't have a million things on it....You don't need a million options. Just a few very well executed and well prepared dishes. We started off with the nachitos - this is a meal in itself. You could share this with a few drinks and be just fine. The chicken didn't overpower the other elements and the tortilla chips are fresh and, imho, the way tortilla chips *should* taste... This last visit, I had the short ribs. They were tender enough to cut with a fork. The over-easy egg on top was a nice addition. There were tender baby veggies on the bottom which also was nice. We ended the meal with chocolate pecan pie with fresh vanilla bean ice cream. Nothing more to say about this other than it was fabulous. There is a burning fire outside and inside, a nice cozy bar that's big enough to not feel like you're standing on top of your neighbor, and the staff (even management) was not pretentious or rude. They were accommodating and happy. My only drawback is this (and it's not worth taking a star off of)This is one of those really trendy places - so if you get intimidated by that *crowd* or you just don't have the patience for *them* I would suggest going either a little later or a little earlier. But I wouldn't use this as an excuse to not go to Chelsea's. Simply stated, this isn't a 3 star experience. This is far above 3 stars. Chelsea's continually delivers a great meal with a great atmosphere. It's not hit or miss; but it's not a hole in the wall either....

Normally we love the white water center. It is a GREAT place for rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, mtn bike riding, etc and my kids love it. The issue is that we booked their private conf area for a large family event (~200 people) over 6 months ago and were told that there would not be any other events that evening. 3 weeks before the event (in the middle of wedding/graduation season) we find out from a friend that they have a large public concert event scheduled that same night. Not only is that a major issue / conflict with our event, BUT they didn't even inform us of this. They offered no flexibility and no apology for this. On this short notice we had to find another venue as we were not happy with competing with a large public concert for an important family event. I would discourage anyone from booking a private event there.
