    My waiter and waitress failed to introduce themselves and handed me my menu with a big yawn and then left. They were very attentive to the only other table there, instead of my friends and I. Also you guys should place the steak tacos under appetizers because that’s what they were. Save your money and go somewhere else!

    The food suggestions did not pan out. The manager Chris got upset when the food was sent back; didn’t appreciate the approach with asking me about the food sent back when there was indeed more food on the table that I did appreciate!!

    The Beach at Dream Downtown is a hidden gem in Chelsea. I needed some help to find the space inside the Dream hotel. But once I got there, I had a fantastic experience. The outdoor seating is right next to the pool, and I had the entire space to myself. The chopped salad, fish tacos and chocolate cake were all delicious. My server Rhoda was awesome and the prices were actually quite reasonable. A great place for lunch on a hot summer day!

    Drinks were watered down - more of a mocktail than cocktail. They looks good though - presentation wise. Appetizer (hummus + veggies) was mediocre to say the least - the vegetables were withered. To offset the "sad looking vegetables" - the manager took $2.00 off the bill - what a joke! The ambiance was great.
