Diner Reviews

"Was celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary. Asked for a table by the window. This restaurant has 3 sides facing water and they couldnt give us one. Two women walked in just ahead of our party of 4 and was seated at a table for 4 by the window. Was extremely disappointed by this. Pretty much made the evening not quite as special as it could have been. May not return because of this. I know this request was not guaranteed but no attempt was made to try and accommodate us. VERY DISAPPOINTED."

"Though you do have to be a vulture if you want to get a table overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, it is definitely worth the wait. Beautiful views, and you can have drinks at the bar while waiting. I recommend the Mango Mojito, best drink I may have ever had."

"Service was courteous, prompt, professional. Food came out hot, and spacing was good between appetizer salad and entree, although the entree took a little long to arrive.Probably due to being a busy Saturday night. Food preparation and presentation was excellent. It was easy to see that the management an service staff was actively engaged in keeping the customers happy. Overall a very pleasing dinning experience. Definitely at the top of the list for a return visit."

"Dining at the Chart House is always a pleasure. I have been eating here since 1984. I now have an eleven your old son. For earning straight A's on his report card, we told him to pick a restaurant. He picked the Chart House. He loved the Prime Rib and the Lava cake. I guess the Chart House will stay in our family. Always a favorite. Our waiter Carlton gave him a high five. He was awesome."

"First time visiting Chart house and it was my birthday, so I was looking forward to some great seafood.....Not. It was okay it came out cold and that was the first problem, but I just had high expectations and was let down. I feel like I could have gotten the same entree at a local seafood takeout with a better price."

"We were an extended family getting together to celebrate March birthdays and made the RSVP through OpenTable. Next day Chart House called to confirm the RSVP for 10 asking if we were celebrating a special occasion. They asked for the names of the celebrants and told me they would received a complimentary mud slide dessert. When we were seated, we were given menus with Happy Birthday to the celebrants across the top. When we were done with the menus they took them and later brought them back rolled & tied with curly ribbon and gave them to the celebrants. We were there for Sunday Brunch and it was great. Everyone loved the salad bar...salad, fruits, breakfast breads...wonderful."

"I found out about charter house by using the open table app on my phone. I wanted something nice and different so that restaurant popped up. I read the reviews and chose that one because that particular day was my birthday. Food was great, atmosphere was quiet not loud. My Man enjoyed his long island so much that after we ate we went to sit at the bar to converse and applaud the bartender on his excellent skills. Needless to say, we had another drink. We would definitely be going back soon."

"We loved our waiter, Eddie (Eddy?). He made our meal special by being unintrusive but attentive, very charming, and cute. Also, I suffer from migraines and asked the manager if she could turn down the music and she did! How nice. Gorgeous view, lovely space, and comfortable dining. I would have liked more spice in the food, as it was good but a bit bland. The time between the appetizers and the entrees was a bit long, but not ridiculously so. Perhaps it made us more eager to eat when our main course arrived! Get the chocolate lava cake, if you like chocolate. It won't disappoint. But allow thirty minutes for it to be made. Three birthday celebrations were occurring right in our area of the restuarant, making it a festive time."

"Chart House is a wonderful experience. The food is good and the service on par. My guests and I enjoyed the incredible views looking out to the Potomac. At sunset the dining area is buzzing with conversation and waiters so be sure to make your reservation ahead of time and be patient when you get there. Would go back and dine there again."

"I was very disappointed that we didn't get a water view table even though our reservation was for 5:00 PM. My brother and his wife came from California and I was hoping we would have a water view. I even specified it on the reservation."

"Lovely venue and even better scenic view, especially for the boat lover. Ambiance is good. Reservation policy is a bit frustrating as the best seats in the house are first come first serve. Made reservations, still had a 30 minute wait until a first come first serve seat opened up. Food is fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. Servers were a bit over stretched but well intended. Drinks went empty for long periods but check backs for quality. This is one of our favorites and provides a wonderful view of Annapolis. We will return."

"I had read mixed reviews about this restaurant but decided to make a reservation anyhow. I'm glad i did. It was a saturday night and my father's 92nd birthday. I arrived first and was seated immediately toward the back of the restaurant. The view was ok, but it was just of the marina. I spoke to the hostess and explained that it was my father's birthday and could we be moved up front where there was a view of the Annapolis harbor and the naval academy. They happily obliged. We were seated in the lounge area which had a wonderful view. The service was wonderful. The staff was very attentive and the food arrived in a timely manner. The dishes were wonderful. All the seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection."

"And it was great. All brunch entrees come with the enormous salad bar. And mimosa's only .99 (yes that's right less than a $1) with your entree. There was a special price on bloodies, but don't remember as I was enjoying my .99 mimosa ;-) All but (1) got omelettes which were perfectly light & fluffy. The other had the prime rib, which was also very good. We were celebrating a birthday and they were so thoughtful to actually type a birthday wish at the tops of all of our menus! Such a wonderful touch. Our server was very good also. We've loved CH for dinner/bar for awhile and now we love it for brunch too!"

"We went for a birthday celebration early on a Friday evening. The greeters and wait staff were wonderful. Excellent wine selections --- we tried several from the by the glass list and and found them to be very good. Nice selection of appetizers and lots of seafood dishes to choose from. Food was well prepared and beautifully presented. Desserts were scrumptious! Portions were generous, we ended up taking a couple of boxes home with us. Our waiter was fabulous and took fantastic care of us, never leaving our water glasses less than a third full and even offering to box up whatever items we didn't finish to take home with us. Wonderful waterfront views (we had dinner just before sunset at one of the window tables) of the marina and boats."

"I recently went to Chart House to celebrate my mothers birthday. The concierge called me after booking it online through open table, they had a menu card printed for my mother celebrating her birthday and just really focused on the table greatly. A truly wonderful dining experience, great food and great ambiance."

"Even though the birthday boy is in Annapolis all the time....it was hard for me to find a restaurant that served the kind of food he would like and a restaurant that he had not dine at before in Annapolis...... But I did here at the Chart House, he was very surprised and enjoyed the dinner and special attention he was given. I would definetely dine here again...especially in the summer time!"

"our server was slow but very nice and competent. I had the blackened FRESH Sword fish and it was very good. My wife and daughter had the "signature dishes" and the fish tasted frozen. They very graciously brought out other food and did not charge us for what was returned. so, order the fresh fish!"

"I prefer the Chart House in Alexandria, VA. Food was mediocre. I tried the sear scallops with wasabi mashed potatoes. I was looking for the rest of my food. For $40, I expected a tad bit more. I would recommend going back in the summer or checking out other locations."

"Our serve Alec was amazing. He was extremely knowledgable about the menu and helpful. The restaurant itself was fantastic. We attended for a special occasion and they gave us special custom menus and dessert for it. We felt very special. They really paid attention. The filet and potatoes was delicious as was the bottle of red wine and chocolate lava cake. The restaurant was gorgeous inside which we were told was used in WWII for ship building. The outside views of the water as well as the window seating views and views from the bar were incredible. I recommend going here and requesting Alec for any special occasion."

"We were greeted with a smile and were seated promptly. Our server stopped by in less than a minute to introduce himself and suggest beverage options and go over changes in the menu.

"First time dining at the Chart House Annapolis. Special occasion dinner for my birthday. The food was exceptional and we consider ourselves to be foodies. We would rank it up there with some of our best dining experiences. We started off with the strawberry bibb salad and the Baked Chesapeake oysters. Both were delicious. We both chose the Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi with peanut sauce and Asian green beans. Best fish dish we have ever had. Service was outstanding. And I don't want to ruin any surprises for future birthday customers, but they really added in some special touches and surprises that made my day extra special. We have already decided we are going back for my husband's birthday in August."

"Few people that night, few servers Service slow, inattentive When food arrived after an uncomfortable wait, it was not hot, room temp. Salad bar (for extra $8.95) not well stocked, large salad bowls almost empty. Have eaten here before, will not go back, too many choices"
