    We had a great waitress, unfortunately I do not remember her name. A great waitress, like her, always makes the experience better! Food was great and the view was priceless!

    We got a gift card for Chart House and so we took some friends with us to share the evening. We’d never been before and neither had our local friends and I’ll admit that we had medium expectations for the food etc. Wow were we positively surprised. Everything was fabulous including the sunset which they raised the shades for(with a real green flash) . Our server was attentive but not anoying , 2 managers came by to ask about our dinner etc. We ordered form both the fixed price menu and a la carte- prime rib, sea bass, swordfish, salmon and everything was cooked to perfection

    We brought guests for lunch and in the reservation I had asked for a table near the windows. This request was granted. We had a very good server and everyone was happy with the food. We were not rushed. Additionally, the valet parking was convenient and there was no service charge; we left a good tip. I recommend this restaurant.

    Beautiful view even though the windows were cloudy from the rain and salt water. Great salad and clam chowder. Salmon was good and sea bass was delicious.

    Well in advance, we requested a window table overlooking the ocean as we were introducing out-of-town guests to the restaurant. We were first seated at a booth, then at a table overlooking the parking lot. The food and ambiance however were outstanding as always.
