Diner Reviews

"Food was, meh… Parmesan encrusted whatever fish. That's the problem. Fish could have been anything, and it was not moist. Mussels appetizer included a bad mussel. It was not open and it smelled bad. How hard is that to catch in the kitchen? Staff did remove it from bill and provided a comp dessert. Wait staff was VERY good. On a positive note for the chain. We dined at the Melbourne, FL Chart House earlier in week and it was AWESOME. Now there's a Chart House I would highly recommend."

"My wife and I booked a late table at Chart House, we hadn't planned on stopping for dinner but I got hungry for some Prime Rib so we made a quick reservation online and went to Chart. We've had bad experiences dining out less than an hour before a restaurant closes, not so this time! We sat out on the quiet patio, had amazing service, and thoroughly enjoyed a 3 course meal! Our server Sue was amazing, and the manager even brought over a propane heater so we could sit at the table closest to the water! The Tuna appetizer was delicious, my wife thoroughly enjoyed her King Salmon dish, and the Prime Rib was delicious as always! All in all, we had an awesome late night experience!"

"We have been to Chart House twice in the last couple months. The menu is always amazing! We are yet to have something that wasn't flavorful and fresh. Try the sirloin or the Ahi and you won't be disappointed. This restaurant seems to be pretty slow except for on holidays which is surprising given how good the food and service was. However, that did not bother my wife and I at all because it was quiet and romantic. View is to notch just make sure you have a table on the bay!"

"Been to many Chart House restaurants. Daytona, Jacksonville, Hilton Head and this restaurant is not on the same level as the others. Food was not served at a warm enough temperature, even the soup. Had to send back a steak to be cooked properly. General overall quality of the meal was not what we would expect at a Chart House restaurant."

"Food was excellent. I had the Parmesan crusted snapper with crab meat. All the dishes at the table were prepared perfectly. Views on the deck at night were beautiful. Our server, Kyle, was on top of everything all night long."

"My husband and I took my 88 year old mother-in-law to dinner at Chart House in Tampa. She is from Maine and loves lobster. She very much enjoyed the lobster dinner, the ambiance and the outstanding view of Tampa Bay from our table. It was a wonderful experience for all of us."

"My wife and I went to celebrate Valentine's Day. The meal was very evenly spaced out, and the food was delicious. We hope to return soon."

"Dinner cost is equivilent to Bern's Steak House. Service and ambiance not as good as Bern 's . Food was delicious and view is nice ."

"Service was not good. Our waiter took forever to get to us. The bar was backed up and it seemed like management didn't account for enough staff on Valentine's Day falling on a Friday night. For the price we paid it was not worth it. Tables seemed small for a group of 4. Disappointed in service. Food was ok."

"I attended The Chart House for my two year anniversary and I was so blown away by the quality of my food and the customer service! Not to mention it read "Happy Two Year Anniversary" on my menu!!! That small touch was so beautiful and really added something special to my evening. The service was wonderful and attentive and I would come back every day of the week if I could!"

"To begin we had Valentines reservations at 9:45, had to wait in line to get to the front desk for 30mins... Just to be told we had to wait longer to be seated. After another 25 minutes, my date was upset and tired of standing in heels (because there were no seat accommodation for waiting guests) we were seated. I had asked for a window or booth seat but was giving a seat right by the kitchen doors. Unacceptable. Servers were friendly and food mediocre, however I will never return to this restaurant."

"Enjoyed the food. Crab appetizer I shared with my wife was wonderful. She had fish tacos and I had a crab club sandwhich.... both excellent. Waitress was a bit pushy with the extras like desert, wine, specials, this didn't bother me at first but as soon as it was clear we were just getting a basic lunch her attentive service was focused on other tables and it took forever to get the bill. I ended up paying cash with 17% tip because we both had places to return to. Lunch was $50.00 including that tip for the two of us. View of Tampa Bay was superb and we were seated right by the windown. Pricey but I would recommend returning for special occasions."

"A group of six went to the chart house and every dish ordered was unique and tasty. Dinner started around six on a Saturday night with a reservation. At 8 when we were leaving, people with reservations were having to wait for a table."

"It was ok for special occasion. Food was good but a bit pricey. Had reservation 830 got seated 915.. Not tob.bad though"

"Food was pretty good. Service was good. Bad = waiter was a 'salesman' as well always trying to upsell and then to get us to sign-up for "dining rewards card.""

"We had reservations for Valentine's Day and it turned out not to be a great experience. We waited at least 50 miN for our food to arrive. The food was average & over priced. I would rather go to Ocean Prime OR Bern's Steakhouse. The staff was friendly but overwhelmed. Overall, I would give 3 stars dinning experience. We wanted to give it another try since Valentine's Day was a busy day. We decided to go for lunch next day Feb 15th. Our server's name was Sue and she charged us for 2 menu items that we didn't order. We won't be back anytime soon. Please do yourself a favor and don't go there. There is plenty of fine dinning in the area that you will be pleased with SUCH AS Armani's, Oystercatchers, Capital's Grill, Brio etc etc."

"Valentine's day. Arrived 20 min early for 9:45PM res. 15 min line just to get to hostess stand. Told "10 or 15 minutes". Headed to bar. Terrible service: 20 minutes to get a drink. Host finally (red bow tie) called us around 10:30. He promised to get check transferred, but that didn't happen. He stopped for a long talk with a regular at the bar. After waiting several minutes, I had to go back and ask him to seat us. He didn't bat an eye or offer an apology. Rude. Kitchen was slow, but our server (Sue) was fantastic and apologetic. Food was acceptable. Would have been better if hot. Server saved the night. 5 stars for Sue. 0 stars for bar/host. $250 check once I add in the bar bill. Beautiful place. Shame it was so bad."

"Best experience I have had while dining ever! Our waitress, Suzie was awesome and the food was to die for! To top it off my experience was on Valentines Day, which you would think the service would be a little weak since the place was packed to the gills."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"Went here for Valentine's Day because I heard it was very Romantic. Definitely not the case. Felt more like an over-priced Red Lobster! Worst $200 I ever spent!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"House salad were boring and nothing to rave about. Steak was laced with fat and obviously a lower grade cut. "Fresh" snapper came out as a square cut and was obviously processed or frozen. Second round of drinks ordered before the main entree arrived after we finished the entree! Way over priced for what you get!"

"My wife and I have dined here several times. The dining experience, from the ambience, scenic water views, courteous and attentive service, to the consistent food quality, all keep us returning on every trip we make to Tampa/Clearwater."

"Sent back a Hemmingway snapper that was in edible overcooked Left without dining"

"Went to the Chart House because we have been to other Chart Houses, in other parts of the country and have had a very nice experience. The seating was like sitting in the middle of a hotel lobby, so noisy our party of 4 could not even have a conversation. I had the Pan Seared Scallops, which were ok not great. My wife had the fish n chips, which were nasty, a bunch of fried batter dumped upon some fries, with 4 small strips of battered fish on top. We have 10 times better fish n chips at a local bar for 1/2 the price."

"Due to the view and service it is one of our favorites it the area. The staff is very personal and accommodating, from the waiter/waitress to the bus boys. We enjoy this location for a special night out."

"I have been to the Chart House for lunch and it was definitely a great time with the picturesque setting, so decided to make that our Valentines evening out for dinner and it was a wise choice. The dinner and wine list was clearly up to expectations. Romantic setting as well on the Bay with the moon big and bright in the booth window where we were sitting. Service was great too; always making sure we were happy with everything and paying attention to our wants."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"This upscale restaurant delivers on friendliness of waitstaff and presentation of food, but the flavor fell far short of the mark. Also, the furniture on the outside patio was something you would expect at a BBQ joint, not a fine dining establishment."

"The Chart House is a gem in the Tampa Bay area. Its location on the Courtney Campbell Causeway with lovely waterfront views is awesome. The food is delicious and the staff is attention. Great combination for a great dining experience."

"Love the ambience but was a little dissatisfied that the waitress did not put my order in correctly. I ended up eating something that I didn't order because I was too hungry to wait any longer. The food was good put felt like I should have been accommodated for their mistake"

"I love the Chart House for dinner but brunch was very disappointing."
Dined on 2/9/2014
"The food was great and we enjoyed happy hour in the bar prior to being seated. Appeared to be a number of staff however, fairly disorganized, therefore service slow. I was surprised to see children in strollers and an infant in the dining area. I feel that was inappropriate. The food was outstanding but our server was not knowledgeable - couldn't remember the special and also was not able to explain the appetizer "Crunchy oysters on the half shell" - he indicated they were raw, but the shell was crunchy - which made absolutely no sense whatsoever. We will definitely return - the food was excellent and hopefully service will improve."

"Service started off great then became slow. Food was great but forgot veggies in my pasta. However did bring more with veggies."

"I have dined at many Chart House locations across the country over the years but this was the first time in Tampa. This location is a converted Landry's. The property located on the West side of the channel looks back to the Tampa Skyline with great water views and has a small beach off the outdoor dining area. Finally the right group to occupy the location and should become a staple of Tampa diners in the coming years. Employees are well trained, courteous and anxious to please. The prices are a bit high in my opinion for Tampa dining but excellent quality. While there I joined their new Landry's Select Club membership that gives you generous benefits at over 500 properties across the country. For the frequent traveler it's a great deal."
