Great dinner and service. Chelsea is highly professional, all the staff work to get drinks and food to the table and help each other out. Two of our party were there for the first time and were blown away by the whole experience, especially the food. Lovely to look at, delicious to eat. The fresh fish was cooked perfectly, the asparagus and carrot sides were devoured and the ricotta appetizer got many an ooh and ah! And you can't beat the olive cake, perfect to split between two or three people. A real gem of a place. Very sad to know that that was their last dinner service as the Lockbox.

I like this place. Sadly, I hear that new owners take over soon, and they have indicated they will change things.

One of the few kitchens in Lex offering innovative fare. Not your average high end dining experience. Complex flavor combinations that work. The effort and thought process show in the final product.
