    Sadly we had a terrible experience- service was so slow and food order was completely wrong- we asked for grilled cod ( as per menu) and steamed veg- waitress said chef recommended pan fried- so why offer grilled- the veg arrived raw and and grilled as well. The presentation of food was awful. I have cup of soup to start which was not cleared away when main arrived. I asked for wine three times along with some cutlery to actually eat with, and when it did arrive the food had been on table for ten minutes- my wife said- worst meal this year.

    The food was adequate but nothing special. Building was very nice and area was scenic. The thing that bothered us most was the sales pitch to join their points system. We found that intrusive when we just wanted to have a nice meal. We did not want a timeshare like sales pitch.

    The food was good but unfortunately our waiter was not very good. Struggled to get his attention, got one starter then had to go and find him to get the other starters. Generally not attentive at all. We gave a tip anyway because the food was good but he then complained to us that the tip wasn’t enough! Very rude.

    We are at a few nice seafood restaurants on our stay and the Chart house was a nice one. We were a little disappointed that it took 45 minutes after our reservation time to be seated at a table, but the food and service was top notch. We would definitely go there again if we ever find ourselves back in Boston. Highly recommend despite the wait to be seated.

    Service was slow and steak was a very poor cut. Expected more for $200 dinner. Salmon was ok and soups were good. If service had been more attentive would have been more gracious. But overall disappointment for money spent.

    We have dined at this restaurant many times in the past and always had a great experience. Last night the experience was a little bit off. Service was not as good as usual. Food quality was a little less than to be expected. Drink service took a long time to fill orders. And the restrooms were not in the cleanest state. However, due to the number of times we’ve dined here in the past And not experience these issues. I would certainly give this restaurant another try. Everybody has an off night now and then. And we might’ve just caught one of those.

    been going to these restaurants for over 40 years and with the new owners many locations continue to decline. sadly probably the last time we will visit this chain. The seafood and the salad bar used to be historic but this location just kept pushing steak steak steak. it sits on a wharf in Boston harbor.

    Seems Covid has caused some restaurant owners to scale back just a little too much. 1 crabcake for the price not justified. And it's small at that. Doesn't even compare to. Mine. Portions are not the same. I came in with a party of 14 per reservation. Had to wait another 20 min. to be seated on my daughters birthday. They did accommodate for her meal. Some of our guests had to deal with leaking AC... Giving we were the only one in that section we should have been seated away from the AC, like in the middle would have been perfect. Manager nowhere in sight.

    I have been coming to the chart house since I was a young child. It has always been one of my favorites, but it is just not the same. The food was mediocre at best and Took almost an hour to get our meals. The server was very apologetic and he was extremely nice. But there does not seem to be any consideration for the staff. It was blazing hot that day and the bartender and servers had long sleeve black shirts on. While the manager had a sleeveless sundress. Very disrespectful to the staff to do this to them. The poor guy was sweltering. In addition, the lighting was extremely poor and many tables around us had to use the cameras on their phones to read the menus. I had a light directly over me and could still barely see.. their is ambient lighting and then there is darkness… After many decades of coming here, I will not anymore, being part of a bigger group of restaurants has not helped them one bit.

    Generally disappointing, food (except woody asparagus) was delicious, staff were not engaging; there was “a reason” we thought my meal would have been comp’d but it wasn’t. Ladies room was in need of attention. Doubt we’ll be returning.

    This was our second time here and was a little disappointing. Service was extremely slow and the food was mediocre at best. On top of that, they screwed up my drink. The last time we were there was before tourist season, so perhaps that’s the difference. Will give it another chance, after tourist season is over.

    The food was delicious, unfortunately the service was a little bit chaotic (taking also into account that there were many guests). We were seated 15 minutes after our reservation, i.e. 15 minutes after our reservation, despite the fact that there were free tables outside. Than no waiter felt responsible for our table to take our orders. After 30 minutes we called a waitress and than things turned into good - food was great and service at the end too.

    Our server Pryanna was outstanding! She provided us history of the building dating back to John Hancock owning the building and running his accounting out of this facility. Food was spectacular and ambience was wonderful! The team in the bar were very customer oriented! Highly recommend the Chart House! All the workers perform well as a team and make it a place to remember. Highly recommend the prime rib end cut!!

    Have been enjoying eating at the Long wharf Chart House for many years. Food was absolutely wonderful. Our server at the table was wonderful. We did have a few issues in the bar such as we could not get any service. One other disappointing point were restrooms were unkept and out of paper products. A restaurant such as the Chart House needs to improve the restroom problem and lack of service in the bar. Other than those two items a perfect evening.

    I recently had the opportunity to dine at Chart House, and while there were some positive aspects, like the ambiance, I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. The service at the Chart House was a bit hit or miss. The bartender made me a Gin and Tonic using an old, mostly empty bottle of tonic, which led to a flat drink. He could have opened a new bottle of tonic at those drink prices. Also, the bottle of sparkling water we ordered for the table never showed up. Turning to the food, there were some highlights but also some letdowns. The appetizers we ordered were actually quite delicious, showcasing some creative flavors. However, the main courses were served while we were in the middle of the appetizer. My stake was well under-cooked compared to what I ordered, and it took some time to get the waitress's attention to fix this. At first, the kitchen just cooked by steak a little more leading and brought it back out charred and now with a cold side dish. Then they agreed to re-do it. They should have offered that right away. In terms of ambiance, the Chart House had a cozy and inviting atmosphere which does make up for the quality issues. In conclusion, the Chart House has potential, but it falls short of delivering a consistently satisfying dining experience. With some service improvements, it could become a more attractive option for diners. If you're willing to take a chance on a mixed experience, then it might be worth a visit. However, if you're looking for a guaranteed excellent meal, you might want to explore other options in the area.

    Food was delicious. At first service was below par - did not have cold beer, and also ran out of michelob ultra which was on the menu. Took a bit to get drinks and rolls but after that all food and drinks were served timely with the proper gap in between apps, soup/salad and meal. Beer was then cold.
