I'm new to Belleville and was happy to hear that there was a local Kelsey's...UNTIL I actually went inside!
The atomosphere is very dark and stuffy. It also SMELLED LIKE A -DIRTY MOP- 3 TIMES! ON SEPERATE OCCASIONS!!!
Not only that, but when my boyfriend and I were served our drinks, BOTH GLASSES WERE DIRTY! His had dry food stuck on the mouth of his glass, and mine was just dirty. We notified the server, only to have her bring yet ANOTHER DIRTY GLASS to him with the same problem!
The food was delicious I must say, however, knowing that it wasn't the cleanest kitchen, and the smell of the dirty mop in the air just put a kink in our dining experience.
The prices are so-so, seeing as many places give much more food for their prices...
Having said that, my visit to Kelsey's saddened me because I absolutely LOVE the menu, yet it's not easy to enjoy the food when the place is not upto dining par.
The service was okay. We waited an eon for the bill to come when it wasn't busy at all!
I'd like to return when the smelly mop stench has vanished, and the dishwasher is more adequate doing their job, as well as the natural "eye to detail" can be evident.
Family dinner out and what an overall pleasant experience. We were greeted at the door by a very friendly and polite hostess. Shown to a table right away and had a most courteous and efficient server. She was so friendly, my son just loved her! Our meal was brought to us quickly and no compliants...it was great as always!! Hot, tasty and plentiful. We love Kelsey's, it's our favorite restaurant to dine out as a family. Thanks!
Lovely lunch experience, friendly hostess, attentive, friendly server. We wanted to share our pizza and salad; our server was very helpful by accommodating with extra plates. Our lunch was delicious!! Even one of the managers stopped by to see how we were enjoying our meal....that's a nice touch!
How this bar staffer manages to pull a paycheck...
How this bar staffer manages to pull a paycheck is beyond me. She was rude from the get go and was obviously more interested in flirting and hitting on other men at the bar. I have been to some pretty questionable joints in my day, but for a place that charges the amount of $$ they do for a beer, they could at least have soemone working the bar that cares abotu her job and her customers, rather than trying to hit on every guy sitting at the bar. I will never be back nor woudl I ever recommend this place to a friend, or an enemy for that matter.
