    Finished our company golf tournament here last night. The servers were very attentive to our party of 20 buy that would be the only reason to return. I like Kelseys as a chain but the bar and kitchen staff hit singles not homeruns last night. When you pour a Guinness, pour half then wait for the head to subside. Then and only then do you fill it up. One quarter of the glass as foam just doesn't cut it. I'm not expecting the little shamrock on the foam but if you serve it, serve it the way it's suppose to be served. Others that had pitchers of cold Keiths White didn't complain like me but it's hard to screw up a pitcher of draft. I usually get the tasty peppercorn burger. My boss was having a Guiness too and suggested I try with him the steak and Guiness skillet. Here's a little tip to the kitchen staff. A skillet is served hot, sometimes dare I say sizzling. Luke warm steak stew and cool mashed potatoes are just boring. I watched others devour racks of ribs, wraps and burgers with envy and distain. "At least it's tasty," said my boss. Meh!

    Unbelievable amount of fail resides in Kelsey's. I've been Kelsey's exactly 6 times. After each dining, I swore I would never go back. But fate has brought me back to the restaurant again and again. So I am writing this review as a promise not to return to any Kelsey's. Or as a mark on my hand to remind myself of awful experiences.

    I have had pasta (overrun by awful dry and spicy taste of chives), ribs (rough texture, not very juicy, and barely any meat on the bones), salmon (I thought I was eating a piece of cardboard), fish and chips (spongy, dressing falls off, and the fish falls apart), and there wasn't a single time where I didn't have to forcefully shove the food down my throat.  That's just tip of the ice berg. The appetizers are awful as well - spinach dip, soups, bruschetta, etc.

    Service is well above average. Servers are kind and attentive. But the restaurant is so noisy.

    I wouldn't eat at Kelsey's even though they pay me to.

    The Steak & Guinness skillet was awful and I wasn't impressed with the lack of variety on the menu. It was really cold in the restaurant so the waitress was kind enough to move us to another table, but the vent was still blowing freezing air above us. It isn't an upscale venue yet the prices are up in that ally. I was warned but now I know not to go unless I am proved otherwise with a free meal.
