Description: One of the Chelsea’s signature restaurants, & the focal point of the hotel’s social scene & destination, the 5th Floor, Chelsea Prime offers a fresh take on a steakhouse in a setting evocative of a 1920's supper club, a cocktail lounge with a curvilinear bar & entertainment in the form of a suitably timeless white grand piano. Chelsea Prime is decorated with classic black & white photographs of 1920's Atlantic City & features elevated Hollywood-style booths & sweeping ocean views, adding a touch of grandeur to every meal.

Away from the casinos. Attached to a great hotel. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great entertainment. I was just there again, but the place is closed for renovations. I was bummed.

We are locals in AC, so we have tried every restaurant there. Chelsea Prime is our hands-down favorite. If you like steaks, this is the place to go! The steak is cooked to perfection and the sides are just delicious. You must try the truffled mashed potatoes! It's also a great spot for night-life, so you can park your car... More

This place is a secret that is about to get out. The spinach melts in your mouth. The mashed potatoes are a thing of beauty Cerviche - all I can say is my daughter never ate it until this place..... 5stars atmosphere, food and service

the food is a little overpriced (welcome to Atlantic City) but it is consistent and the bone-in ribeye steak may be my favorite steak in AC. the views from the bar are spectacular.

Great view, but the food is what is makes it special. Although it is pricey, serving sizes are large so splitting an entree or side dish works well. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection (we split a rib eye, mushrooms and mashed potatoes). Service was great as well.

The food was great, the service was impeccable and the view was beautiful. My wife took me here for my birthday and they even brought out a special desert, at no charge. We will definately be going back.

My husband and I ate here when it first opened and we absolutely loved the menu. For a Stephen Starr restaurant, we felt that the prices were quite reasonable. Nice variety and the first time we didn't use salt on our food. Didn't need it.

The appitizers (Tuna Tartare and Escargot) were excellent. The steaks (Filet and New York Strip) cooked perfectly. The free sauces were excellent and my husband asked for horseradish and it came fresh and shreadded very fine. The wine list was good, however, very high priced. Bring a credit card with lots of room as this is a very expense restaurant... More
