    We were on a short family vacation and decided to eat at Chart House as it was right across the street from our hotel. We were immediately impressed as soon as we walked in with the amazing views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati. Making a reservation was super easy. Our server Tara was absolutely amazing! She was extremely attentive and always had a smile on her face. We took our 7 yr old son and they were amazing with him. Our appetizers came quick and were delicious! After placing our dinner order, while we were waiting Chef Reed actually came over to our table and sat with us and engaged with our son about the picture hunt that is on their children’s menu and our son loved the challenge of finding all of the things because Chef Reed explained even he couldn’t find them all. Our food came quickly and it was also amazing! Every dish was delicious. Again Chef Reed came over to check that the food was good and my son couldn’t wait to tell him that he found all the pictures. And was very happy to point out the one the Chef could not find. Dessert was also absolutely delicious Overall we had such an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend this amazing restaurant to anyone!

    Amazing experience. Our server Dustin was very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. From drinks to apps to desserts. We couldn’t have asked for better food or service. The manager Ashley stopped by and checked in on us and was very friendly and sweet. It’s was a nice touch. We will definitely come back to this location again. So many good things to say about this dining experience. Book your reservation, you won’t be disappointed.

    We took our daughter for her 16th birthday. She had never been. Our waitress BRIDGETTE was AMAZING!! To top it off we surprised her with a new truck! The valet guys brought it up and put our giant bow on it and communicated with us to surprise her when we walked out to get the valet. They had it ready for us!! Outstanding service all around!
