Beautiful location, beautiful restaurant. Service was good not great. After dinner we left our table to sit at the bar to watch the Finals Celtics/Heat Basketball game. The mgr. or I think she was, had already pulled the registers at the bar when she rudely said we are closed. I had taken my glass of wine from the table to the bar. My husband asked if he could order a cocktail, that’s when she said no we are counting our registers. He asked if he could get one on the tables register, she said no because we already paid. Mind you the was a very large party that had not even gotten their meals yet so it’s not like they were closing soon. The bartender with a totally different tone said “ you can sit here though “. We did for just a minute or two and left. Overall the experience was okay. Even good. But it’s the little things that make the experience great. My guess is that for such a beautiful place with beautiful views no one has ever recommended it before. No one. Nor will I.

Mothers Day. Best part of this spot is the amazing view. Wasn't aware that the full menu was not available when I made the reservation. They only had a Mothers day pre-fixed menu for a set price $62-65 (cant remember) or three courses. Asked server if we could purchase a filet for our son, since he was allergic to seafood and all they had was a surf and turf available. He replied sure I will just take off the shrimp. OK so let me get this straight; you cant sell me a filet only but have to charge us for the shrimp and just remove them from the set menus due to a food allergy. Unfortunate. Been to Chart House in California (two locations) and they were excellent. Caesar salad had so much garlic in the dressing it was inedible. I suggest the chefs taste the food before serving. Asked the server for crackers with the clam chowder. Server leaves table, and is gone 10 minutes so I keep eating my soup. He forgets and when the entrees arrive he reaches in his pocket and pulls out the crackers. Looks like he forgot, and then found them in his apron pocket. Server refilled iced tea - glass had no ice, and pitcher had no ice......he fills the glasses to the top and there is no ice. Had to ask him for ice; seemed annoyed when my wife asked for two cups of ice since its in fact iced tea. Entree filets were cooked fine, and prime rib was mediocre for prime rib. The Hailbut had zero flavor, no salt and pepper to season the fish before cooking, and the Halibut came out on the plate on top of three sliced tomatoes that look like they were for a sub sandwich (cold) on the entree plate. Every entree was luke warm and the plates were served room temperature. For $381.00 for four guests this was less than impressive. basic culianry cooking techniques and standards are lacking. Service details need attention. Unfortunate. Been to two of the venues in California and they were great. This place is a B- / C+ at best and needs a remodel, and more staff training to get back to basics.

Delicious food and great view. Service was excellent as well. When I made reservations for Mother’s Day, I did not realize it was a special three course menu only so it was quite expensive but was a wonderful meal.

Usually we enjoy our meals there. This time not so happy. The lobster bisque soup was over powered with to much sherry. The waitress was kind enough to change out for the clam chowder which was so much better. We had asked for lemons for our water and had to ask twice to remind her. My salmon entree I asked for it to be medium rare and it came out well done. I only ate a few bites and asked for a doggie bag to take home to feed to my dogs. She didn’t even take the price off or offer to due to me not eating it. Not happy with how that was handled. Our other three guests did enjoy their main course. So I was happy for them. Won’t be going back for while unfortunately. I will give it sometime and try again at a later date.

We had a very disappointing evening at Chart House. The food was very good and our waiter was very good, but it was so loud that we couldn’t maintain normal conversations. Also, our experience with management was such that we would never return. The restaurant has outdoor seating and I requested that when booking through Open Table. Several hours before the reservation, I received a confirmation call from Chart House. Again, I requested outdoor seating and the woman said it was “first-come, first-served,” but she would see what she could do. When we arrived for dinner, we again asked for outdoor seating and were told that they would see what they could do. Minutes later, we were led to an inside table. There were at least 4 or 5 empty tables outside within our view. In fairness, all entrees were very good and the server, Gustavo, was pleasant and efficient. However, a large group of about 18 or so sat down next to us and immediately took over the room. (To give you an idea, they arrived on a party bus.) It got so loud that we weren’t able to have normal conversations at our table. This entire time, there were numerous empty tables outside. I asked to see the manager and she arrived at our table shortly. When I inquired about the outdoor seating, she said that it would not have been comfortable for our group of 7. She apologized and said it was nice that the other party was having a good time. Significantly, she and I found it hard to converse because it was so loud. We never did get a satisfactory explanation why we couldn’t have sat outside—especially when there were plenty of empty tables and it was unbearably loud inside. The noise and the manager’s attitude made our special night out very unpleasant and we will not return.

Always a beautiful spot to enjoy dinner and drinks. We felt the dinner was ok, portions much less than usual. Our service was not got at all. Thinking the water was new. Left us for long periods of time, didn’t ask if we’d like another drink. He fumbled a few times with our table and many with the table next to us. So needless to say, we were a bit disappointed.
