"We had limited time before a show and the waitress was amazing- We had really good food (mussels, tilapia) at a great pace within our time constraints. Our waitresses recommendations were very good. I would recommend."

"Right across from opera house, so is convenient if you're going to a performance. Pub food plus better entrees and salads. HOWEVER Open Table dropped the ball on this one. I made the reservation over 3 wks ago and after sending me a "thank you" e:mail (so I know it registered) they dropped the reservation. Thank goodness I checked on the day of. Then, according to O.T., they only had availability 1/2 hr before or after my desired time. So I called the restaurant and got my full party right in, at my original time. And plus, when we got there, the place was EMPTY so no telling why O T had such scarce reservations.
I think I"ll be getting reservations directly with the restaurants from now on.

"For our 10th Anniversary we went to Chelsea Tavern. It was fun. The waitress was less than pleasant, but she was serviceable. It seemed as if she didn't want to be there and that type of mood can really bring down your dining experience. The food was good, I have had better, but for the price it was decent. And a good serving size for the price as well."

"Across from The Grand in Wilmington, offering a terrific menu from bar food to prime entrees. The food is excellent, with gourmet twists on traditional foods, and perfect portions for the diner. Service is first-rate, with our server checking back on us several times throughout the meal without being intrusive. The noise level is a little high for a quiet dining experience, but does not get rowdy. If you are going to dinner and a show, this is the place to go for the beginning of your evening."

"Overall, food was good; had salmon BLT, which had smoked salmon and was very good, salt from pretzel roll wa a nice add. Crab cake Caesar salad was mixed-crab cake was tasty, rest of salad just ok at best.
Service was not good. Server wasn't rude, but was relatively disinterested. Examples: Had a pretty good wait when we sat before anyone came to the table (had just agreed to give another minute or two before leaving when she arrived). Also, after food was dropped off, server never returned to the table until we flagged her down to get the check. Definitely be wary if you're going to a show or something-you will have to be the one that keeps service moving."

"I have walked past Chelsea Tavern on all my trips to Wilmington but never stopped. This time I went and took 2 co-workers and was delighted. My co-workers are from Wilmington and work a couple blocks away but had never experienced it. We had such a good time and good food that I am betting more from the office will be going to Chelsea Tavern in the future."

"Likes: The food was good with a reasonable price. The service was fast. Dislikes: the tables were only 6 inches apart. I heard more of what was said at the next table than I did from my date. The noise level was way too loud. Maybe I should have asked for a table outside."

"Went with my S.O. and friend before a show. My entree was delicious (scallops), and the other food I tried was good. My friend ordered the bacon wrapped meatloaf, and it came out burned, however it was replaced quickly, and she was "compensated" appropriately. The beer menu is impressive, and the tasting flight was fun. The waitress was knowledgeable and the prices were fair. All and all I would give it 4.5 stars, and would return again to try some of the other food (and beer)."

"Restaurant was chosen based on a previous dining experience there and its location to the Dupont Theater for a show. We were time constrained due to the show, but had excellent and timely service and the food was delicious. Had a great meal, did not feel rushed, and made it to the show. The restaurant offers some daily vegetarian dishes to balance the other menu offerings. I had the toasted quinoa dish and it was very tasty!"

"Joe's got the place running like a top! As good as I remembered. Great gastro-pub fare in a warm and inviting setting right at the hip spot on Market Street in the center of Wilmo. Definitely try the Mac & Cheese of the day, but be sure you don't have any afternoon appointments - cause it's an overly generous portion of cheesy goodness that will stick to your ribs and warm you up! My lunch mate got the burger, which was spot on cooked the way she ordered and served with a great big pile of their home-cut fries. Was glad we popped in for lunch, can't wait to go back for dinner soon."

"I like to go to this restaurant before a show. It's across from The Grand. Most of the time the food is really good and different from the norm. This time we had shrimp in our appatizer and I chose a shrimp dish for my entree. The shrimp had a strong taste and smell of chlorine. I couldn't eat it. I got the chicken instead and it was very good. The drinks are very expensive!"

"Chelsea Tavern's location across the street from the Grand makes it the perfect place to eat before a performance. Staff very attuned to serving patrons in time for performances, etc. Save room for dessert and drinks after the performance."

"We went for dinner before seeing Gaelic Storm at The Grand and were glad we made reservations as the restaurant and bar were very busy. Our dinners were very good and will definitely be returning."

"Definatly a beer snob place. Super rich variety and great presentation with both draught and 22oz bottles. Perfect for craft beer exploration, wide variety and arrangement into categories on the beer menu. The only regret I have is that I let the beer menu go back when the waitress took our order. I could have been looking at that and sampling some other beers and talking about beer at the table if I had thought to keep it.
Great compliment to the Grnd Opera House accross the street."

"My husband and I ate here just before a show at The Grand. If you are coming from out of town on a Friday and really unsure of what you may hit from a traffic perspective, this is a perfect spot. For what we ordered, it was not overpriced and it allowed us to relax knowing that we just had to cross the street to attend the event. I did not find it to be too crowded and if you make a reservation....through Open Table of course....they get you right in. We were in and out in 45 minutes! Very nice experience at the Chelsea Tavern!"

"Chelsea is very good at getting their patrons served quickly so they can get to their seats at the The Grand before the show starts. Do make a reservation on Open Table at least an hour before show time if this is your plan and they will do everything to accomodate you :)"

"The place to go before heading across the street to the Grand Opera House! On the night we visited, the restaurant was packed with devotees of Ina Garten. Nevertheless, our group enjoyed delicious salads and efficient service."

"Really like the warm atmosphere. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf, which was very good. My date had the mac and cheese special. It was just okay. It wasnt creamy..kind of dry. For a specialty item, it really didnt seem special at all, especiallybfornthe price. Staff was very friendly, including the host. I do plan to go back to try other menu items. Good spot before a show at The Grand."

"Well done entrees and good service led to a good dining experience. Were met immediately outside the front door by a homeless woman after dinner who begged for money. We ended up giving her our leftovers. That, along with a lengthy walk back to the car with some suspicious characters out on the streets, slightly took away from the experience, but overall I was pleased."
