- JMJoeMCalifornia Central Coast •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe thoroughly enjoyed dining at CH. Our reservation was approximately 30 minutes wait time. I would rather not wait that long but I know this time of year can be busy, and it was. We enjoy every bite of our dinner. I would mention that there is too much ice in the mojito and not enough ‘drink’. But very good. Our server, Alissa, is a real pleasure! We’d love to have her for every dining experience at CH!More infoChart House Restaurant - MontereyPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.5

- OTOpenTable DinerSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoServer was friendly, Bridget, if I recall, and on top of it. Husband’s birthday. They brought not only the birthday desert, but a nice taste of the strawberry gelato and blood orange sorbet — because she heard how we wanted to taste it. Husband had the filet perfectly cooked. I had the short rib very tasty, but maybe a bit too much salt. The ambiance was warmly inviting. Just the right amount of light added to a feeling that we were welcomed.More infoMontrioPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.6

Discover Monterey
The California Central Coast is rich in sunlight, ocean views, and fabulous food. There are plenty of ways to burn calories, including a hike along the beach, a visit to the remarkable aquarium or a long stroll through one of the large shopping centers! Once you're ready to dine, Carmel is all set to help you out. Carmel cuisine has long been influenced by French tradition, and in addition to wonderful California wines, you can enjoy anything from delicate pastries to locally harvested salmon. Carmel restaurateurs have also done a great job of putting old buildings to new uses. Looking for a romantic spot? Consider making reservations at a corner table tucked into an old house for an intimate dinner.
