    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.

    The wine, appetizers, steaks, sides, especially the corn, and the service was amazing. Our server, Javier, was on top of his game. Assisted us with everything we wanted and offered suggestions as well. Then the manager, Prem Lana, came to our table inviting us to an up and coming wine dinner. We are looking forward to the gathering. He also discussed the wine list with us. Terrific experience.
