    Is there a better view in San Diego than dining near the sand in the Chart House? We enjoyed our salads, rolls, and coffee in Cardiff. Our service was good, and it is hard not to relax in the scenic setting of this well-designed building on the Coean.

    The pace was not busy this time, which was nice for a change. The atmosphere was great. Our picks for dinner were outstanding, and we had a nice bottle of wine. Thanks for a nice evening.

    Outstanding cannot wait to go back. On low attendance evenings, they should spread the guests farther apart for a more relaxed environment

    When we arrived they told us they were running a little behind. They didn’t seat us until a full hour later than our reservation time. There was nothing on their website to indicate that they had a set 3 course meal for thanksgiving. Nothing in the lobby of the restaurant, no notice when they called to confirm our reservation. We had now idea what we were in store for until we got our menus. When asked what the vegetarian options were, we were informed that we could pay $69 for pasta with olive oil or marinara sauce (along with a starter and dessert). The crust on the pumpkin pie was the consistency of pizza dough. We will not be returning.
