    Very nice experience at lunch as I usually enjoy Chart House for dinner. Made reservations, via Open Table, and was lucky enough to get an ocean view table. Just gorgeous views of the ocean and surfers. Food was delicious, service was impeccable (Bryce was wonderful) and celebrated a birthday, receiving a yummy mud pie, complimentary.

    Our table mates ordered the filet, lobster tail, specialty salads and fish tacos. Also tried the New England style clam chowder. We indulged with desserts, specifically, the home made ice cream, key lime pie, raspberry sorbet and coffee. Everything was outstanding! Will definitely return!

    Always a wonderful experience dining at the Chart House in Cardiff. Beautiful view, beautiful ambience, delicious brunch at a very reasonable cost. Service was fantastic. Hard to believe they do not charge for valet parking, you just leave a tip if you would like to. No one does that anymore. Highly recommend this beautiful restaurant.
