    Chelsea is our go-to for dinner before a show at the Grand. The food is good but the menu is limited. I was disappointed that there was no calamari for a starter which had been on the menu in the past. Our server was busy not only waiting on us but working the bar as well. We did manage to get there in time for happy hour but again there was a limited menu for that as well. We didn’t know there were half price starters but in any case our food orders were prepared correctly and the caesar salad was fabulous.

    We stopped at Iron Hill Brewery while traveling through and we were so happy with our experience there! It was the perfect place to eat and recharge with our 3 young children in tow. A lively and energetic restaurant, amazing food and drink menu. Everyone in our party was pleased. Also our server was phenomenal!
