- CWChris Wade1 day ago3.0the prime rib hash was the most tasteless greasy dish I’ve had in a while. My friend ordered an omelette and the omelette was fine but the hashbrowns as well were really greasy and gross. Service was fine, but I won’t be back
- PLPaula LimNov 15, 20255.0There's been a much needed management and staff turnover since we had 3 very poor dining experiences in a row. We finally returned after 2 years and were delighted with the changes! Seated at a table with a beautiful ocean view -- our waitress did a great job, even though she'd only recently started. We asked about their featured wine, we were planning to only have a glass a piece. She thoughtfully brought us a pour for both of us to taste...BINGO!!! We ordered a bottle instead of a glass each...very nice start to the evening! Our order was taken, the manager came by and chatted us up -- an interesting and engaging talk about wines! The food was great as expected: lobster bisque topped with with a piece of lobster, salad, prime rib and a chocolate mousse cake. It was Halloween, but service and the works all went smoothly. This team won back our loyalty. We'll be back!
- BBB BNov 10, 20251.0They don't allow strollers you have to leave them in the front by the reception.
- SSSarahNov 8, 20255.0Unmatched location, incredible views of the ocean. We saw sea otters swimming around in the waters just outside the window, all while watching sail boat races. Food was amazing. I can’t recommend Chart House (in any location) enough. Truly one of my faves.
- VLVivian LiuOct 28, 20252.0Food was not great. Won’t get into too much detail but the entrees me and my husband got tasted like if seasoning still hadn’t been discovered— might just be because both me and my husband come from spice-heavy cultural backgrounds. Water smells like they just got it from the beach down the way. Server was attentive and the atmosphere was nice. Drinks were phenomenal.
