    Food was good but too expensive for the portions they give you. They hardly served us any soup. Maybe it was the server that was new and didn't know how to property serve it. Not satisfied with service or portions. Will not be going back any time soon.

    Chart House always prepares and serves a wonderful meal.... However, this time, something was left to be desired...beginning with waiting 20 minutes for a 6:00 PM reservation. The Lobster Bisque and Clam Chowder soups were hot and tasty. The Prime Rib was excellent as were the sides. The Mahi was excellent...however...it was served tepid...the asparagus was limp and tepid...the rice was hot and wonderful. The Lava Cake never fails to impress. The restaurant had at least 2 large (at least 12 people) parties and we could not carry on a conversation due to the excessive noise throughout the restaurant.
