A place that was a long time favorite, not visted for a few year's but still listed as "fine dining " , dressy-casual and classy. Is ABSOLUTELY NOT the same experience.
What was supposed to be a birthday experience & an extremely rough but grateful year, turned into a train wreck and leaving hungry.
Service gave diner vibes, the way under dressed screaming and whistling across the restaurant from sitting customers, getting served over the half wall of single booths, food coming out with long uncomfortable gaps in between, wine 3/4 throughout the meal served over the bar & skunked, appetizers a mix of undercooked shrimp to over fried dry calamari, the crab cake was the only great part and Cesar salad with a burnt/rubbery inedible crust.
Then the what was supposed to be x2 med/rare told more on rare side 9oz filets, mashed potatoes and asparagus with another vegetable I honestly forgot because not a single vegetable came out, the steaks were well done/gray! The potatoes were a runny mess on the plate with zero presentation. And the forgotten lava cake dropped in front of me like I did something wrong, raw!
I never in my life, ever left without eating my steak or dessert! And we came to EAT!
We're locals who both worked in AC 25yrs and my husband opening the staple restaurant there Vic and Anthony's, taught by the owners crew in Texas the expectations and what was expected for quality of food, service and drinks. This was diner quality at best. The ONLY one's serving & collecting the plates correctly were the few food runners who were awesome! I was a restaurant manager and I'd be embarrassed to have this & stand behind it. The management & service before here, was top notch! The view was beautiful but the 3/4 of unruly, underdressed customers, destroyed it. And we noticed the 1/4 with the same look we had & we were told by our server our steaks weren't the only to be sent back like that would make us feel better. As having this position in a fine dining restaurant I know what was expected of me. Not once did we see a manager, anywhere. Not once did he come to our table to speak to us, try to smooth things over to get us to cone back, not once did he/she appear & we were told they were begged to. They took off the steaks and cake, then came back and said they begged to take off the wine. We never asked, but as locals, I was so upset I made my feelings calmly known & still the manager hid. Completely unprofessional, inedible and the biggest birthday disappointment ever! If you're expecting the quality explained on Google or the restaurant page.....don't. Those day's here are obviously over. I've never in my life had an experience like this at once was a fine dining restaurant. This makes us nervous to go in vic and Anthony's now, as my health held us back from going out for a pretty decent amount of time. Such a beautiful place, wasted! And, I left the leftovers on purpose!

I love this place truly. Only leaving this review in hope that they make improvements. Every time I have been here on a weekend, it has been perfect. The food, the service, everything. I came and convinced my entire family to come here on a Wednesday. Terrible. Slow. And we all ordered prime rib (because theirs is the best) and it all came out overcooked. Gray. We all ordered medium rare. I don’t know but I still do love this place, but what a let down. Sent the prime rib back and still came out overcooked. Disappointing. Have had many good nights here but this was truly awful. Maybe they have their C team here during the week and their A team on the weekend. Not sure, awful.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Chart House Atlantic City. The carbonara with shrimp and lobster and the sea bass with lobster risotto were both excellent. The wine list is very good, and we also loved the chocolate lava cake with ice cream and the crème brûlée. The marina view is beautiful, and the atmosphere is pleasant and surprisingly quiet — something not always easy to find in Atlantic City.
Service was the only weak point. Our waiter wasn’t particularly warm, and there were a few communication issues. We ordered a bottle of wine but received individual glasses instead. He also warned us that one dessert would take about 30 minutes, but since we didn’t order it immediately, we later waited well over an hour for him to return to our table.
Overall, the excellent food, desserts, wine selection, marina views, and relaxed atmosphere made it a very enjoyable evening.

Having been to more than a dozen Chart Houses over a 30 year period, this is only the second bad meal I’ve had. First was in Las Vegas. Service was not good- waited 15 minutes to be noticed. Drinks were not made correctly. Had to ask for bread 3 times, and the veal I ordered was tough. It was on Aug 10, my birthday, and I was disappointed.
Have eaten here many times, but previous two dinners were not good. We returned after a couple of years hoping for improvement. The setting here is just beautiful — one of the most scenic dining spots in NJ.
Prices are high, as you’d expect in a high end casino restaurant, but deals can be had at happy hour and during their dinner specials. I’m not sure why, but things just fell apart when it came to service. The young man who served us was very polite & professional, but there was just way too much time between courses — to the point we wondered if something was wrong in the kitchen. We literally had to flag other servers/busboys down to get more water or inquire about the status of our meal. By the time dessert came, we just gobbled down one, and got the other to go.
My salmon entree was absolutely delicious & a nice size piece to boot. My wife’s prime rib, while tender & flavorful, was a small, thin slice. Our chopped salads had a nice light lemony flavor, but of all the chopped salads in AC steakhouses, this was probably the least interesting we’ve had. (Vic & Anthony’s is the clear winner for chopped salads).
At many AC fine dining establishments in AC, a manager will often pop by to see how the meal is going. I’ve never seen that happen here. They should.
