The view of the Potomac from our table was inspiring and from a distance we could see fire works display. It went on for about 5-6 minutes and several customers in the restaurant enjoyed it. Our waitress, Niyah, was funny and amazing. She made awesome recommendations and she made our anniversary dinner a very fun event. Our drinks were very good. The personalized menus were a surprise and we will cherish them.. thank you Chart House. The only con I would have about the entire Chart House experience is that the food was not seasoned. I do not like a lot of seasoning and I understand that restaurants lightly season their food because they are serving many customers but this food ( lamb chops and steak) had no seasoning. It was not lightly seasoned. It was no seasoning.

Hosts did not greet me. It took over 15 min to get a server to greet us and take our drink order. The deal for the food was decent. Service got better throughout the night.
