The food, service, and view were terrific! The entrees were a little pricey, but two of us (two ladies) shared an appetizer, a salad, and two desserts. Along with two glasses of wine, we were very happy!

Truly an experience back in time being on the Queen Mary! Nice dining room with white linen (casual/dressy casual) with great view of downtown and shoreline of Long Beach from all tables. Excellent service and attention. Exceptionally nice staff all around! Yummy Cesar salad, well prepared steak and salmon meals with fingerling potatoes and accompanying sauces. Complimentary generous slice of mouse cake for anniversary! Recommend for sure if staying overnight or fun for just an evening aboard.

Food quality was low to average. I think the swordfish was old. Couldn't eat it -had an off smell and taste - and they removed it from the bill. Mashed potatoes tasted good but was cold. Bread service for an additional $6 was odd that it wasn't included with the meal, but it was excellent. Baked in a small cast iron skillet. Service was very good. Not many people but maybe because a Thursday night. I probably wouldn't eat there again.

Outstanding experience from start to finish! The service was impeccable, and the food was exceptional.We enjoyed a breathtaking view of Long Beach harbor while soaking up the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.Visited for my birthday and was thoroughly impressed. The clam chowder was rich and flavorful, complete with whole clams. Absolutely delicious! The garlic roasted oysters were a standout, bursting with buttery and garlicky flavors reminiscent of my favorite charbroiled oysters in New Orleans.Our steak was grilled to perfection, and the buttered bread rolls were irresistible – we couldn’t resist getting a second serving.Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend making reservations in advance. They also offer half-off parking validation.

Had a wonderful dinner - great service and a wonderful chat with Fouzia who gave us great recommendations for places to see and things to do. The view was outstanding and the night was made very special.

Best feature is shipboard dining and bay & Long Beach view. Food not great and not a good value. Lamb was over cooked. Fried fish with fries and no cole slaw was underwhelming. Restaurant does validate parking so you pay $10 vs. $25. I recommend to go to Parker's Lighthouse restaurantin shoreline village, enjoy good food and view of Queen Mary from across the bay.
Best Clam chowder ever and I know my clam chowder. All the food was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed out visit. Will be back for sure when we come back to Southern California

Exceptional food and service. The view overlooked the Long Beach harbor. The vibe is very chill and peaceful. Came here to celebrate my birthday, and it did not disappoint. The clam chowder was thick and hearty, with the whole clam included. Perfect ?? We tried the garlic roasted oysters, which were full of buttery, garlic goodness. Almost reminds me if my favorite charbroiled oysters in New Orleans ?? Our steak was grilled perfectly to our request, and do not pass on the buttered bread rolls. We had 2 sets. So good. Great experience overall. Would recommend. You do need reservations to get into the ship, and they do validate your parking ticket for half off.

Dining on the Queen Mary is always a delight because of the atmosphere and elegance of this Art Deco ship of history. My favorites at the Chelsea are the clam chowder, the bread service, the Frito Misto, the Filet Mignon and the Creme Brulee. Be sure to grab one of their signature cocktails and dress the part.
We had an amazing experience once again! Our server Rubin was a pleasure! He paced our meal well and helped me with a great wine pairing with my Mahi Mahi. He also spoiled me with a delicious birthday dessert candle lit and song sung. I might add that the bartender makes the best vodka martinis on the ship!

Was t sure what to expect based on reviews, and we loved it ! Party of five for a Bon Voyage send off - had three appetizers (salad, shrimp cocktail and fritto misto) and one entree each. Server was fun and helpful and delivery of items was smooth and with nice presentation. Be sure to get a window seat- view is priceless!

We love Chelsea Chowder House! Luke was our server and he is very personable. Our meal was delicious and the martinis were marvelous. I had the lamb chops and my husband had the swordfish both were cooked to perfection. We started with the oysters and also shared the wedge salad. Ended with a beautiful chocolate mousse cake complementary for my birthday. We had a lovely evening. If Luke is your server don't forget to write a note in his “passport “ book.

Great food and location! I'm a So Cal native and wanted something fun to do with out of town guests. We boarded an hour early and had drinks at the cute bar, then walked around a little to see the models. The entire experience and food did not disappoint! Our drinks were great, the sunset view lovely and food was perfectly prepared, seasoned and portioned. We had fresh oysters, the daily fish and didn't need any additional sides to be content. Would definitely recommend for an alternative to the marina restaurants.

A little pricey but worth the experience eating a fine dinner on the Queen Mary. Had the wedge salad (which is large enough to share) & hubby had the clam chowder-lots of clams, potatoes and bacon. The filet was overcooked a little for medium rare but good. Shrimp dish was good but really rich. Desserts of ice cream and mascarpone cheese cake were very good as was the coffee. Service was excellent.
