A: I was very surprisingly underwhelmed by Chelsea's Kitchen. We walked in and the restaurant smells amazing with the open kitchen and I really dig the atmosphere. Our first impression was that our server- Katie McD- seemed kind of flighty and not very attentive, so that is never a good start. She wasn't very friendly and didn't even attempt to build a rapport with the table. She kept forgetting small things that should be second nature for servers. I ordered my iced tea, and had to wait until she came back with our appetizer to get a straw. (The same happened later to my cousin after she finished her sangria and ordered another drink) I then asked for sweetener and she turned around, grabbed it from another table and then put it in front of me saying 'They weren't using it.".. kind of awkward. It has been my experience that great food can really overshadow bad service. Unfortunately, I was again disappointed once our meals came out. Maybe I had too high of hopes for Chelsea's Kitchen, after all I have had an ongoing love affair with La Grande Orange for years. I had the Dixie Pan Fried Chicken and it was just okay. The first thing I sampled was my mashed potatoes.. which were very lukewarm. Same for the mixed veggies (which were otherwise quite tasty)/ We waited about 5 minutes for Katie to come back and check so I could let her know, but got bored of it, and finished eating my now even colder plate. They have a good portion size, not too much and the price would have been okay if my food had been served correctly (or even corrected). My meal came with a cinnamon roll which was really yummy and so was the red velvet cake we had for dessert. Definitely the best parts of my meal. (Dessert probably would have been better with coffee... if our server had been around to take our order..) I kind of go back and forth between 2 and 3 stars, but I feel like 3 stars would be saying I'd go back and give it another go... and I doubt I will. The stars say it all: Meh, I've experienced better.

A: Walked in today to make a simple exchange and Art had no idea how to treat a client. He was rude short and condescending I'll never return to this store and you shouldn't either!

A:
Friend raved about the margaritas here, so we checked out Arriba's for dinner last night. I'd called ahead to ask if Arriba's makes their sour mix from scratch- it does. I also inquired about happy hour-- from 3p to 7p, and reverse HH from 9p to closing, 12 oz. house margaritas are $0.99 each! There's a short list of apps at 50% off, as well. He wanted to try the "margarita for two" on the rocks, as he's tried the house margarita on previous occasions. Presentation was nice, and it tasted very good- not obnoxiously strong and not cloyingly sweet. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/arriba-mexican-grill-scottsdale?select=ZuAE6ZAXVIeGNKKMWbJogw#ZuAE6ZAXVIeGNKKMWbJogw $7 during happy hour, which I thought was a steal, since the last time I shared a margarita that big (with sister) was at one of the restaurants on the San Antonio's touristy River Walk-- the margarita was $14! Our drink last night had a LOT of ice, though, so we'll have to request for less ice next time, and there will BE a next time. :) Our server also suggested guacamole and chips, or a queso fundido app, so I chose the latter. We both loved the cheese dip, despite the fact that my friend hates tomatoes and there were tomatoes mixed into the fondue. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/arriba-mexican-grill-scottsdale?select=fVPVC3W4MQx5SNDyVN1QMw#fVPVC3W4MQx5SNDyVN1QMw The fondue/fundido also came with a dollop of chorizo. I appreciated its spiciness, but found it too salty. Due to my corn allergy, I requested for fried flour tortilla chips for dipping, and thankfully, the kitchen obliged! Awesome service, so far, which reminds me kudos to our server Chance! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/arriba-mexican-grill-scottsdale?select=F8pySbJ7wQ_z3O5Bj-u5eQ#F8pySbJ7wQ_z3O5Bj-u5eQ Friend didn't enjoy the flour tortilla chips as much as I did, so he asked for regular corn tortilla chips, and again, Chance and kitchen gratified. My friend was going to order the enchiladas, and I told him I was going to try Arriba's pollo con queso. He's had it before, so he decided that we'd just share the entree. Fine by me, since I don't ever finish an entree at the restaurant, anyway. (I always take leftovers home.) The entree was a deep-fried chicken burrito, split three-ways, and smothered with three different cheeses. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/arriba-mexican-grill-scottsdale?select=hzYXTqkmjXz9IOQ-AjgVoA#hzYXTqkmjXz9IOQ-AjgVoA I don't know what kind of cheeses, and the menu online does not state what they are, but I liked the white variety the best- it's a softer cheese, which equals meltier, creamier, more sensual cheese to me! He liked one of the dark yellow cheeses. Will have to get more info on our next visit. I wonder if I may order this dish with just the one type of cheese? Hmm... further investigation of the menu is needed! ;) My friend doesn't have a sweet tooth, and none of the desserts really caught my eye last night, except perhaps the ones with ice cream; However, Arriba uses Good Humor ice cream, and these contain corn syrup, so I must say no. Only the best, for the most part, para mi, por favor! Can't wait to take Mom here. I've already told her about the dinner and shown her the photos, and she looks very interested. :D
