We were celebrating a wedding anniversary. Erin , our server, went to extra lengths to recognize that it was our anniversary. She did a phenomenal job! The view from our table was outstanding, as we looked out on to Monterey Bay. The food was excellent! I would highly recommend the Chart House to anyone who’s looking for a great evening.

My husband and I shared the porterhouse and our granddaughter got the wagu. They both were delicious!! The sides that came with the porterhouse were incredibly yummy (crispy potatoes and an Italian broccoli) We started the the garlic bread - which set a VERY High bar for the next course. I’m dreaming about the garlic bread - PHENOMENAL! Our server, Jane, was knowledgeable, kind and very attentive.
