    I always like to dine at Chart House. Their cuisine is among the best. With an oceanview setting, it makes for a nice lunch.

    The glazed salmon was exquisite, and the prime rib was perfect. On top of that our server was amazing the perfect amount of attention combined with enough space for my friend, and I to enjoy our conversation. And with the ocean just on the other side of the glass, I couldn’t have asked for more

    As always, great service and beautiful sunset view. A little disappointed at my prime rib dinner- ordered a medium, got served rare to medium rare. All other food items were a-Ok

    Chart house is a go-to place for us when we want to celebrate a specialty occasion or even a date night. Food was delicious as always, just slightly disappointing that I never got a water refill after asking as well as being asked and never got it. I ended up just drinking the husbands water. It was more of a late lunch around 3, so it wasn’t super busy, but maybe a one off visit because we’ve come here several times and the wait staff is usually on top of everything. It’s not going to keep us from coming back, just was disappointed this time because I was celebrating my husband’s birthday.

    As always, great service, nice ambiance, great views. Our server Wendi was awesome. She made us a great recommendation and she hit it out of the park. Good choice.
