  The Blues

  We came here last Thursday night to celebrate a 65th birthday. There were 6 adults and 3 kids. Our service and experience was very disappointing. When we sat down, the server only offered to take our drink order. After about 30 minutes, I flagged him down and asked if we could order our food. The kids meals came first with the salads. I did not request that. So the kids were almost done eating before we even got our dinner. They brought fried chicken instead of grilled chicken for one of my kids. So they had to take it back and cook her dinner, which she didn’t get back until after we got the adult dinners. Then, when she finally got her chicken, she said it tasted really gross. A few of us tried it and I couldn’t tell if it was undercooked or overcooked. It tasted like plastic-rubber chicken. I can’t exactly describe it, but it was very gross. I was concerned because I also gave it to the baby. I don’t think she ate very much of it though. We called the server over and showed him. He apologized, and offered to make her a third dinner. By then, we couldn’t keep waiting. All they did was take our chicken off of our bill. On top of that, the service was very poor. I had to ask several times to have the empty dishes removed from our table. I asked for some to go boxes, which someone brought pretty quickly. Then I asked for a bag and they looked at me like I was crazy. He said he could try to find one, Which he did. But I was taken back by the response. Lots of times we had to ask for drink refills, etc. The bill was close to $1000 and it’s very disappointing to have this kind of service.

  Alicia was a wonderful server and made our night amazing. The reservations were running 40 minutes late on Valentines Day, but we were able to find a table at the bar and not wait. Luckily, Alicia was our server and was delightful and turned the night into a very positive experience. Thank you Alicia! Great prime rib and wine also.

  Chart House Redondo Beach, 231 Yacht Club Way, Redondo Beach, CA 90277. After a long work week, there are places that simply feed you, and then there are places that restore you. Chart House Redondo Beach, a Southern California classic since 1969, gave us the kind of evening that reminds you why waterfront dining is a tradition worth preserving. With waves practically brushing the windows and a sunset that looked painted just for us, this was more than dinner, it was a celebration of friendship, flavor, and the beauty of the southern California coast. We eased into the evening with a lineup of drinks that set the tone for elegance and relaxation. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Chardonnay (White Wine) offered a crisp, balanced start that paired beautifully with the seafood, while The Prisoner Red Blend brought a bold, smooth depth perfect for long, unhurried conversation after dinner. The highlight of the night was the Pomegranate Martini, a vibrant blend of Smirnoff Vodka, PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur, triple sec, pomegranate juice, and lime, crafted with such finesse that it carried us effortlessly from the first toast to the final sip. Each drink matched the moment, enhancing the rhythm of a night meant to be elegant and savored. The appetizers arrived like a promise of what was to come, starting with the Chilled Shrimp, Avocado & Mango Stack—bright, refreshing, and layered with coastal flavor—followed by the golden, tender Crab Cake, elevated by brown butter skillet corn and a silky mustard beurre blanc. Every bite felt intentional, balanced, and worthy of this amazing 57-year restaurant's reputation. The entrées showcased the kitchen’s mastery of seafood, beginning with Mama Mucci’s Shrimp, Australian Lobster, and Mussel Linguine, where crispy prosciutto, fresh herbs, and a rich roasted garlic butter sauce created a dish that felt both comforting and luxurious. The Key West Swordfish followed with tropical flair, beautifully paired with mango sticky rice and pineapple habanero butter for a bold, vibrant finish. The Black Grilled Swordfish delivered classic perfection, smoky, tender, and deeply satisfying, while the side of sizzling mushrooms added a rich, earthy complement that tied the entire meal together at the end. What truly elevated the night was the setting. The ocean outside the dining windows, with waves rolling just feet away, shifted from gold to lavender as the sun dipped behind the horizon. The glow of the dining room blended with the colors of the sky. After dinner, the beach was calm, the air warm, and the view unforgettable. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers exceptional seafood, impeccable service, and a waterfront view that feels almost unreal, Chart House Redondo Beach should be at the top of your list. Whether it’s a milestone, a reunion, or simply the end of a long work week, this is the place you choose when the moment matters. I recommend it wholeheartedly, every time you need a special place for a special occasion along the beach in California.

  We went there with another couple on Friday 1/30. Our server Alicia was very nice and friendly. We asked for separate checks per couple as we each had GC’s, so said no problem. After we ordered our food it came out so spreading out. We had to ask for our calamari twice and it came out 20 minutes after other dishes. Then when we asked for our checks she brought one check! 😳 She said we never asked her but she would separate it if we marked what was ours, which we did. It still came back wrong per couple. We just paid it as we had an expired meter by this time we had to get to. This fiasco took about 20 minutes and to be honest it is not the first time it has happened to us there. It really makes me not want to go back! I did call and tell mgr Joe the next day!
