    Have not been to the Chart House for years, but we chose it for our 47th anniversary dinner with our daughter and son-in-law visiting from Australia primarily for its beautiful views over Monterey Bay. Even on a cloudy evening, the views die not disappoint, but we were even more impressed by the service and food than we'd expected. Jairo was a superb server, personable, knowledgeable and efficient. Our dishes, ranging from the salad bar to the Black Sea Bass to prime rib, were uniformly outstanding. Cannot recommend the Chart House highly enough whether for special occasions, the view, or just flat out excellent food.

    Everything we had was absolutely delicious, and the server was so gracious. The building is charming and we even kind of wandered around to check out the whole thing. The liver moose toast is a must have! Only tiny bit of feedback is that I wish the first cocktail would have come out quicker than the first appetizer.
