    We had the fixed menu that was offered. The choices were all great and a good value for a 3 course meal! Everything was delicious. Service was very slow but understandable as it was Christmas Eve. Our server Melisa was professional and friendly. She really made up for the slow service.

    Horrible service! Food was either cold or overcooked. Music was loud and not befitting of Christmas. The whole restaurant was in chaos!

    Eric our server and his support staff were all great. Caught off guard with the fixed menu on Christmas Eve, however thanks to the crew working it made up for that shortcoming. Everyone enjoyed the meal, just not expecting a limited menu. And we got to maintain our long standing tradition of Christmas Eve at Chart House. We will be back.

    It’s a very busy night if the year, the Holidays, yet they were very organized and apologetic when it took a little longer. Overall, the dining experience with them was amazing ! The holiday menu was very reasonable and very delicious !! The view of the harbor is breathtaking, even at night, seeing all the holiday lights , just perfect !! 💖🌻

    Excellent location with a table by the window. Wait staff were prompt and attentive without hovering. Prices were reasonable but of course that is in the eye of the beholder.

    Our reservation was for 7pm to celebrate two birthdays; one of which was for an older person and the valet was full so we had to park up the hill and walk down in the wet weather (the area for drop off was blocked off as well). The host told us there would be a 20 minute wait. The host told us we could get a drink at the bar while we wait, so we walked over and the bar told us they were for seated patrons only and they were doing us a favor making us a drink while we wait. The host told us we were next multiple times for the next hour, along with all of the others who were also waiting for their tables. An hour later at 8pm we finally were seated. We ordered oysters and were told we could not have a mignonette sauce because it would take too long. For a $600 tab, the wait and lack of accommodation is unacceptable. I will not be returning. The only positive was our server Jonathan was lovely. He had to work twice as hard to make up for the operational issues and lack of management. To management- do better and set your servers up for success versus setting up to fail. You should be ashamed.
