Me and six other friends had been planning to try Chelsea Kitchen for days in Eastwood branch. We ordered different best sellers according to our nice Chelsea Kitchen Rep. Although the food on the menu are quite expensive, we were hoping it has big serving. Food presentation are nice but we were disappointed with the serving, contrary to what we expected.

So we dug to the foods and tried everything, some menu made a big impression but some did not not impressed me. A friend was disappointed with the pastries and bread saying its not fresh. Other friend commented that the servings were not hot. One of them said, tama or sapat lang..

Overall, we were disappointed and we were not even full but thumbs up on presentation and ambiance.
