- JMJoeMCalifornia Central Coast •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe thoroughly enjoyed dining at CH. Our reservation was approximately 30 minutes wait time. I would rather not wait that long but I know this time of year can be busy, and it was. We enjoy every bite of our dinner. I would mention that there is too much ice in the mojito and not enough ‘drink’. But very good. Our server, Alissa, is a real pleasure! We’d love to have her for every dining experience at CH!More infoChart House Restaurant - MontereyPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.5

- KKirsiSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 1, 2024The pasta dish , crab ravioli, was amazing. Very authentic Italian cooking. The pear salad was a bit disappointing because there were only very small pieces of pear in it and the pear was not ripe. The atmosphere is bistro like, not fancy, but comfortable and cozy. Friendly staff. We would definitely go back - the food is great value for the price .More infoEnzo Ristorante ItalianoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Carmel•4.5
