    Always enjoy Chelsea 5. JD provides great service, is so friendly, and even remembers what we like to order. The filet sliders are amazing, as is the crab mac and cheese.

    Awesome food, awesome service! Made a reservation a month in advance for 5:00, we were catching a show! Got there 45 minutes early, all empty tables. Hostess was extremely rude and shouldn't be working with the public. We asked to be seated earlier and she said we couldn't, she explained she was over booked. We sat at the bar and had some drinks. 5:00 came and went, she sat every table for 5:00 before us! Rude! Finally we spoke to another host who sat us right away, and he couldn't believe we weren't seated yet. Too many restaurants to choose from in AC to be treated like this!

    We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday on Christmas there! From the minute, we arrived, the smiles to the seating our servers were amazing and sweet. They suggested a few plates we order them and the food was amazing. Each plate was well presented and the taste to knock you out of this world. Everything was good from beginning to end very very pleased.

    This place is a hidden gem. I am so happy to have found my new go to restaurant when I'm in Atlantic City. The restaurant has such a great vibe. Old school charm and elegance and beautifully decorated. The views of the ocean were awesome. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. We ordered the chicken cutlet parmigiana which was outstanding, the sauce was authentic and the pasta that was on the side was excellent. What a great place to dine. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. The prices were very reasonable for Italian restaurants and for the view and for the excellent food that you're gonna get it is definitely worth your while. I will be returning whenever I'm in Atlantic City.
