Diner Reviews
  • "The service was tops! The ambience was outdated although the entrance makes me think they've updated that and are working their way into the dining area. There was a salad bar which doesn't fit in with the upscale menu pricing. It also doesn't feel very upscale to be able to see directly into the kitchen and witness plating and discussions between staff and cooks. The food was excellent but not what the pricing would suggest, except for the Chocolate Lava Cake which worth every cent."

  • "We went to the chart house on a friday night to celebrate a birthday. We asked for a nice view when we made the reservation and got one of the best views we could have expected. The waiter was very nice and the service excellent. The food was very good overall though not extraordinary. There were not a lot of tables that night so the ambiance was very quiet. We received a complementary piece of cake for the birthday, which was much appreciated. Overall a very good place I would like to visit again in spring or summer. Prices are a bit too high: $200+ for 4 people with wine"

  • "Short and sweet, this will be. The service was outstanding. Jacob was informative, knowledgeable and his suggestions were excellent. the items were a bit pricey and would have not minded igf the portions were in line. The scallops needed to be cooked more as they were not quite done in the center, but they were tasty. The talapia stuffed with crab was again very good, however, it too could have been cooked just a bit more and for the price, I feel that the serving size could have been more generous (or plates smaller at least as to appear as more food). The shrimp was good , no complaints. the best was the golden mashed potatoes and the fried crab and shrimp bites. Overall Great service by Jacob, very nice with a little disappointment."

  • "My boyfriend and I ate there for the first time for his birthday on Friday. The hostesses were very friendly. Our server Justin was phenomenal! He helped us with the food and drink menu. He was very patient with us and also checked on us just by walking by and glancing. He did not over smother or ignore us. His service exceeded my expectations and made a great impression and when we go back, we will request him and also recommend him."

  • "My sweetheart took me to the Chart House on Valentine's Day as he knows it is my favorite place. My boyfriend proposed to me and it was very romantic. The Server we had was very attentive and recommended an appetizer that we thoroughly enjoyed. Our meals (prime rib and mahi mahi) were fixed with perfection and we had the hot chocolate lava cake for dessert (which takes an extra 20 minutes to order) and it was the perfect ending to our meal!"

  • "I really dont have anything bad to say about Chart House. The view is great & we went on a very busy night (day after Valentines, a lot of people going out that night b/c Valentines day weather was bad). Service was good & they were managing the heavy crowd. The food is average quality & not worth the price. We had a good time, but when Im expecting to spend $200+ on a dinner for two I will go somewhere that provides the quality to match."

  • "We went on valentines day and it was very romantic. It was snowing like crazy and the view of the river/city was awesome. The service is always outstanding. And I think I like the food more every time we visit. We both chose to add the salad bar to our entrees and it was really great. I would absolutely go again and recommend to friends."

  • "My husband and I reserved a table for a Valentine's day dinner several weeks prior to the day. We specifically requested the type of seating we were hoping to get. We were not seated at the place where we would have preferred to sit even though they have had a lot of cancellations that day. We mainly went to this restaurant for the view... and we didn't get it. The food is nothing special for the price we got. Nothing at all. It's cooked well, but definitely not something I would to pay for again. Their three types of soups were awful: overspiced and oversalted. Then there was a usual going around by the manager, who stopped at the table right next to us, told them how he appreciated their presence, gave them a gift card and left."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "My boyfriend and I went for Valentine's Day. The overall experience was great. The only complaint I would have was the food was extremely overpriced and outside of our budget. The unexpected cost could have been avoided by us doing some investigation beforehand. We would have choose another restaurant but would not have had such great service and romantic ambience. I would highly recommend the restaurant for those who can afford a $175 for two."

  • "This was my second visit which was prompted by the exceptionally excellent cuisine and service. I very seldom consume any fish but the Snapper Hemingway was so consistently flavorful that I had to return! Our server, John, was very attentive to our requests, courteous, and friendly which made our dinner a memorable experience. Chart House is my first recommendation to family and friends for best dining in the Cincinnati area."

  • "Chart House was the perfect dining spot for our family to celebrate my 60th birthday! From the excellent, friendly curb side service of the valet, through our superb waiter, to the wait staff team and the restaurant manager, we felt welcomed and pampered. With a wonderful table at the corner of the dining room which overlooked a sunset view of the river and Cincinnati skyline, we couldn't have had better ambience. The seafood was outstanding, and drinks were divine. Thank you so much, Chart House staff, for a birthday celebration that I will never forget! You all rocked!"

  • "My most recent visit to the Chart House was to celebrate my husband's birthday. I was disappointed in the service and atmosphere. We were not served bread prior to our meal, unlike all of the other patrons in the restaurant. Despite wearing a sweater, the restaurant was so cold I left with a backache from shivering throughout my meal. We waited for over 5 minutes to retrieve our coats from the coat check because no one was around. Finally the valet came in from outside and was able to find our coats. The food was good but as stated before the service and overall experience were lacking."

  • "My wife and I have dined at Chart House in Newport 3 times. The first two times were quite a while ago and within a year or so of when it opened. Both of those times the food was pretty good and the service was AWFUL. We decided to give it another try on Saturday night (2/1/14). The food was OK. The shrimp beignets appetizer was actually very good. The fritters were not (greasy and burned). I had scallops, which were OK but nothing to write home about. My wife had crabcakes, which were pretty good but a little heavy on the fillers. The service was just as bad as ever. I honestly don't understand how a restaurant operating at this price point can possibly get away with this kind of service. It was almost comically bad. Last time!"

  • "My husband and I dined at the Chart House for our anniversary. While waiting for our table, we were just making conversation with the bartender and mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. She must have told the manager who brought us a complimentary dessert after our meal. What outstanding service! Our orders were also correct, our server was great, and we did not wait long at all for our food. Love the Chart House!!!"

  • "This restaurant won't be in business in six months. Brought client to dinner on a Tuesday night. The waiter tried hard but was sub past. Alcohol selection was poor. Didn't have Titos. Group ordered seafood platter which is served cold. Took forever. Main dishes steaks were not cooked to temperature and cold. We sent 8 or 10 dishes back. Teenager manger came over to apologize and offer us champagne round of drinks. Nice but didn't make up for uber poor experience. Will NEVER return.couldn't wait to leave."

  • "We try to pick a restaurant that we've never been to before and The Chart House was recommended to us. The restaurant was beautiful and the view was great. The food was OK. I was shocked with how small the portions were in reference to the price. I'd rather go to Longhorn or Red Lobster for steak or seafood. The wine list was impressive, but wine is wine and you can get most of those at other similar restaurants. Our server was friendly but never around when we needed her. For 5 of us with tip we spent over $300. We did have two appetizers (excellent shrimp cocktails) and between the five of us, 1 Cosmopolitan and 3 glasses of wine, but for the food, it wasn't worth it.The company and the lava cake made it worth it, but we won't be back."

  • "The food was average. The salmon was overcooked and dry. We ordered the special with the scallops and they were very small for the price charged. When we go out on New Years' Eve we expect the restaurant not to be at its best due to the increased volume of customers. My chopped salad was mostly croton's."

  • "Great evening.Had to wait for our table about 15 minutes which is good for New Years Eve.The food was excellent we ordered two entrees that we wanted to share .They were split in the kitchen thanks to our server.The steak was delicious and also the crab legs.We had a bottle of wine that our waiter recommended it went well with our meal.A little on the expensive side but for a special occasion well worth it."

  • "For my bday dinner, the gf took me to Chart House. After living here over 20 years I figured it was time to go. Long story short, I was hoping for halibut however they were not serving it. The waitress suggested grouper. I accepted and asked if the chef would consider stuffing it like the talapia which he did. The fish was flakey and delicious. I'd go back without hesitation"
    Dined on 1/2/2014
  • "We went with friends and the server was very knowledgeable. The ambience is lovely and although we had to change some food choices( our hearts were set on short ribs and they didn't have them that evening), overall it was very nice. They have a great happy hour too!"

  • "We had a fantastic dining experience on New Year's Eve. We waited a little while even with reservation but it was pleasant. We enjoyed a pre dinner cocktail. When Kelsey seated us we preferred to sit in a booth w a view. We knew this was a tall order but we were willing to wait. Within only a minute or two, Kelsey, had the perfect seating set up for us. Our service was very good and we did not feel the least bit rushed. We enjoyed appetizers and the surf and turf. The prime rib was melt in your mouth delicious. I can't wait to go back. We were so pleased that when our server, Steve, set us up with their dining program, we joined."

  • "Overall, the ambience was great. Noah was our waiter, he was absolutely awesome. View of the city and river was great. We had reservation at 630 pm, arrived early and was seated promptly. My husband ordered the prime rib. It had great flavor, good size, but a little tough. I ordered scallops. They were delicious. I wouldn't make it a place to bring young children, especially if they are crying and screaming. Kinda dampened the overall mood of the evening. I would recommend the restaurant to others. The manager was very pleasant, as were all the employees."

  • "This was our 2nd celebration dinner at the Chart House and both times, the staff made it special. It was a perfect evening for my son's 10th birthday. Everyone was accomodating and gracious. We will continue to visit this restaurant as both times were a 10 out of 10! Thanks again."
