Diner Reviews
  • "Had a very enjoyable dinner with my daughter. Would go back again. The food and the ambience were perfect, albeit a little pricey. Especially enjoyed the lobster bisque."
    Dined on 7/20/2014
  • "Everything was great! The service was impeccable, the food was delicious and the view was very nice. We will return to this restaurant!"
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "Great place, view is awesome. The food is good but just don't think it's worth what they charge."
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "This is my third and final visit to a chart house. I used to come to these restaurants with my parents when we traveled, back in the early to mid 90's and everything was great. I've since tried taking my wife to three different locations starting around 2003 to now (2014) and all three visits have been disappointing. Friday nights visit yielded over cooked, rubbery fish and they were out of their signature mud pie dessert. The staff was very friendly however, and offered to replace the fish but I just don't have patience for failure at a restaurant that demands a top dollar price for their food, and especially when it's a slow night with a mostly empty restaurant. So long chart house. I miss the better years."

  • "All was great excerpt husbands dinner wasn't hit when served. Tasted great just not hot. Told mgr when he stopped by and he said he was sorry."
    Dined on 7/12/2014
  • " The waiter took our appetizer and drink order and was told we needed just 2 minutes to finalize our entree order. After 25 minutes of waiting for the waiter to return, I went to look for him or a manager. The manager sent the waiter to complete our order and apologized several times. It took another 20 minutes to get our food. Nothing was deducted from the bill for our absurd wait time, no complimentary dessert or any attempt to make up for the bad service. After we were finished, the valet brought our car, opening the driver's door and leaving the rest of our party just standing there. The food was very good, but I wouldn't return due to the service and the way it was dismissed by the manager. Food alone is not worth the money."

  • "While visiting the city we found the Chart House and loved it. They view was fantastic, our waiter was great. It was very late and it was not full at all. But our meal from Apps to dessert was fantastic. I had the scallops and my husband had the filet mignon."

  • "My wife and I arrived at the restuarant were the valet service parked our car. We went inside and were greeted by the very friendly hostest who promptly asked if we would like to sit inside or out. (we chose outside), The view was perfect, overlooking the river and the skyline as the sun set made our evening perfect. The service was excellent and the food is some of the best in town."

  • "We had a fantastic meal here on July 2, 2014. We had reservations and arrived early. They seated us with no problem. Everyone from the valer, hostess, water server, waitress, manager....everyone was extremely nice and helpful. I had the chicken romano which I have had other places. This one was fabulous. My husband had the shrimp with pasta. His was very good with huge shrimps. We also had dessert and the salad bar. The salad bar was extensive including caviar. We would highly recommend this for the food. Oh yeah...it has a great view of the hillside banks of Cincinnati on the Ohio River. We went originally for the view not knowing what to expect with the food! Beautiful experience all around."
    Dined on 7/2/2014
  • "Our dinners were tasty but served pretty cold. We were catching a show afterwards so didn't have time to send back to warm up. We ordered coffee and tea; never got the teabag to put in the hot water, and never received sugar/creamer to use with the coffee. Pretty disappointed."

  • "My boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner at Chart House. We sat outside and had the whole deck to ourselves. Right along the river, Chart House has a great view. We were able to watch boats and got to see beavers swim by as well. Amazing service and the food was great, overall. The chopped salad wasn't outstanding though - the lettuce was shredded to smithereens and kind of wet. And there wasn't much else on the salad. Other than that, entrees and dessert were great. Good choice if you love seafood!"
    Dined on 6/17/2014
  • "We reserved our table on OpenTable adding a note that the evening was our anniversary and could we have a quiet table with a nice view. Out view was excellent and the staff had even printed a personalized message on top of our menus. The food was excellent (large portions) and the service was fantastic. Try the stuffed mushrooms! We will be back again!"

  • "I went to eat there this past week. Celebrating a special moment with my girlfriend. I called the restaurant earlier in the day just to confirm my reservation for that evening. I spoke to Reid, the Executive Chef, to tell him about our special evening and he put us in a great spot against the windows with what I believe is the best view of the Cincy skyline at sunset! The food was over-the-top great. Can't wait to go back again!"
    Dined on 6/12/2014
  • "We had a lovely evening for our anniversary. The staff all wished us a Happy Anniversary, gave us plenty of time without interruptions, yet kept our drinks, etc. filled. The food was great as was the dessert."

    Dined on 6/5/2014
  • "The view, wine and food are the perfect trio for an excellent night out."
    Dined on 6/5/2014
  • "I started with the best of soups to get a chance to try all 3 soups. My favorite was the gazpacho, it was delightful. A very close second was the lobster bisque. A very distant third was the clam chowder. There is some kind of herb or spice in there that did not appeal to my taste buds. I said something to our server, apparently this clam chowder has won awards. It wouldn't by my taste buds. I like they had a salad bar so I added that to my entree. I had the new surf and turf as my entree which had the beef short ribs and I chose the scallops for the turf. The scallops were on the small side, so would've appreciated 1 or 2 more. For dessert I had the fruit from the salad bar. I thought the music was playing too loud, though."
    Dined on 6/2/2014
  • "The food was a tad salty, specifically the rice side dish. Dessert took forever to come out, and the apples were not cooked."
    Dined on 5/31/2014
  • "we had a birthday, and the server was more than helpful....really enjoyed ourselves!"
    Dined on 5/28/2014
  • "We had made our reservation and requested a window view overlooking the bridge. We were seated as far back at the other end of the restaurant as they possibly could (away from the view of the bridge). There were 4 of us celebrating a Birthday and one of us ordered a Blue Cheese Filet Med/Rare, and it came out Med/WELL. They had to cook another steak, and to rush it, we asked to omit the Blue Cheese. It was very disappointing to have 3 of us eat, while the other waited. When they brought the check, they took off the Filet, but added the cost of the Regular Filet, and they ALSO charged for the Birthday Mudd Pie. No apology, compensation or etc. We will not go back, much better Filet and service at J. Alexander's."
    Dined on 5/25/2014
  • "Although we always enjoyed the Chart House, we have not visited for way too long. After Friday night's dinner we agreed to visit again soon. Superlative service from a server who was knowledgeable and witty. Support wait staff were prompts, well-spoken understood our sense of humor and gave apt response. Food was everything we expected and the bill was most reasonable for all we received. BTW those who had seafood claimed it was equal to what they enjoy at two local seafood specialty restaurants, and my steak was better than the last one i was served at the steakhouse across from the Aronof Center. All that with a beautiful sunset on the river!"
