I went to the chart house on Tuesday for my anniversary, we went for happy hour to try out the restaurant and see how it is. We are newer to the area but every time we drive past the restaurant we always say we need to go there because of the location and it being right on the bay, When we arrived the restaurant wasn’t to busy. We sat up by the bar at the tables
by the front windows . The first thing we noticed we how dirty the restaurant was and it had only been open an hour. The window sills are covered in dust and crumbs, I also noticed the floor was covered in dust also. I think the place needs a refresh badly . The seating around the lounge has to be some of the worst chairs I have ever sat in. The bar area is in the front of the restaurant with no real view of the water . Our drinks were ok and the bar food was good again not great. Hopefully they can refresh the restaurant and bring it back to modern times ..

Absolutely loved this restaurant! The coconut shrimp was so good! It was crispy, flavorful, and some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Definitely a place I would recommend and come back to!

Host was outstanding, server and service were both great. Salad bar had brown iceberg lettuce on it, croutons were stale, and other items too. Ordered Filet...just mediocre, and a very thin cut. The chicken my daughter had was really good, and another in our party had salmon and liked their food. Loved the view out the windows. Management was standing next to salad bar while we were making our salads asking an employee if they had any complaints. The employee said "no" then proceeded to celebrate kind of loud announcing he was getting a day off. Seemed unprofessional. There are so many great places to eat in the area and I was really excited to go to Chart House. Sadly, I probably will not go back. I would have given more stars if the lettuce and other salad items were fresh.

I’ve been here several times, and it never disappoints. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the beautiful waterfront view—it’s such a relaxing spot to enjoy a meal. The customer service is always friendly and attentive.
This time I ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and added mushrooms, and everything was delicious. The mushrooms were especially flavorful and perfectly cooked. Overall, it’s a great place with good food, great service, and an amazing atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!

My daughter and I dined here after a fun shopping day in St. Armands. We could not be happier with our choice for dinner! We dined inside, as it was summer so quite hot outside but our table still had a great view of the water and the wonderful homes across the way. Our server was Wally. He did a great job despite having a very difficult table just behind us. We had trouble deciding what to order as everything sounded wonderful. We ended up with the grouper with a peanut sauce and the shrimp and lobster carbonara. We added the salad bar after taking a look and we are not sorry we did.
I should have started my review with the drinks; but we both ordered prepared table side beverages. My daughters was made with dry ice so it steamed and then changed color from blueish to pink before our eyes. I ordered a smoked bourbon drink that was delicious! I didn’t take pics of the “show” but the drinks were fabulous!
We don’t have room for dessert but I can only imagine the molten lava cake is delicious.
We will be back!!
