    Big shout out to our server Kate G at Kelseys Upper James. There were three of us dining outside on the patio, and even though Kate was very busy she managed to be very attentive, and kind. She has a lovely personality and very knowledgeable regarding the menu, offering great advice and options. Food was delicious!! Thouroughly enjoyed it! Will visit again and ask for Kate! Also, the hostess was very welcoming and friendly, but didn't get her name.

    Very disappointed with this location and its horrible manager Trevor. My family and I just came for Fathers Day dinner. We were told by a staff member they cant take us, the store was next to empty over 10 tables available including a long table that seats 10. I asked for the manager, the hostess advised he will be right out, we waited 15 mins in lobby and he didn't come out. Hostess advised he was busy in the back and told the hostess they cant take us, the manager turned down clientele, 3/4 of the store empty, they blamed "missing staff".Trevor its quite sad you couldn't even come out to speak to us. Dear Owners, you really should consider correcting this for any future considerations and evaluate your management team! You have lost a client, this will be the last time we come to your establishment, thankfully Montanas next door was able to accommodate.

    I ordered Caesar salad with my lunch and it had multiple pieces of brown and black lettuce throughout. Told waitress and was asked if I would like another. I said no thank you !! She told me the manager would come out. He did and again asked me if I would like a new salad. I again said no. He said I guess they missed some of it. I can’t believe you said that to a customer. I agreed to replace with fries. When my bill came there was no discount and the charge for the Caesar salad was still on my bill. Our waitress was much more interested in talking and serving everyone at the bar than dealing with the problem. My friend paid for her meal and then she didn’t come back for ages to allow me to pay. Overall terrible experience and I don’t think I will be back.

    Very disappointing experience at Kelseys on Upper James. When we walked in, we stood at the front for about five minutes waiting to be acknowledged. During that time, no one greeted us or even said they would be with us shortly. An older waitress with black hair walked up to the hostess stand, made direct eye contact with us, and then walked away without saying a word. After continuing to stand there without any acknowledgment from staff, we decided to leave. First impressions matter, and the lack of even a simple greeting made us feel completely unwelcome. If this was the level of service before we were even seated, it did not give us confidence that the rest of the dining experience would be any better.

    Our lunch visit was very disappointing. Although the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, the service was slow and disorganized. Our waitress seemed scattered, and it took an unusually long time just to recieve our bills and make payments. The biggest issue was the food. My friends salad contained black rotten lettuce that should never have been served. Since she couldn't eat the salad they replaced with fries (that aren't an upgrade. We also had to ask for the extra charge for the salad upgrade to be refunded, rather than it being offered automatically. Overall, the experience fell well below expectations. Poor service combined with food quality issues made for a very disappointing lunch. I hope management addresses both the kitchens quality control and the level of customer service.
