   We had an interesting evening. I’ll start by saying the food was excellent. Through our reservation we were sat at a table so we could view the windows, however it was the furthest table back and we felt in the aisle since my husband kept getting bumped by people walking between the narrow walkway of our table and hallway. Our friendly staffer Desire was kind and took our drink order after about ten minutes. After 30 we still did not have our bar drinks but we did receive an excellent shrimp cocktail. Finally received drinks and entrees including excellent prime rib and filet mignon. We ordered another drink but I changed from a cocktail to wine. The drinks came quicker this time but my drink was incorrect and then completely spilled on the table, me and my husband. We promptly stopped eating and prepared to leave. Manager came and comped one drink for us. We were grateful but left.

   My husbands food was excellent, he had the Filet and Lobster tail, but we both had the Mashed Potatoes, which were served luke warm I would say. I had the Sea Bass (regular item) It was cooked perfectly but the taste was a little fishy. He kindly shared a few bites of his dinner with me. The wine was very good, and the desserts were to to die for, we had the Creme Brulee' flight and the Cheesecake with strawberry sauce. The couple seated behind us were having an issue with their payment and the man talked very loudly throughout our sitting, so sort of spoiled the experience, and I initially was not feeling well when we arrived but after eating I felt better. Needless to say I was hoping for a better experience overall, we had not been to this Chart House for many years, and it seemed for the prices they charge the food should have been beyond excellent.

   We’re locals and enjoy dining at the Chart House. Our waitress was just too busy to offer the service we wanted. She took far too long to check on us the entire evening. As for the food, it wasn’t hot when received it was just warm. Overall it was ok but could have been better.

   My friends and I dined at the Charthouse to celebrate a birthday. We selected the filet mignon, prime rib and pasta with shrimp. All entrees were delicious and cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean. Our server Crystal was delightful and went above and beyond to make our dining experience perfect!

   We had the pleasure of dining here while in Monterey. As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a smile. We sat at the bar for a cocktail (highly recommend the classic martini) and then were seated at our reservation time at a window table as requested. Our server, Ashley, was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, kind, funny and always checking in, but not to the point of being intrusive. Our meals were served promptly. The prime rib was one of the best we've had, and the shrimp pasta was buttery with just enough garlic. Lava cake for desert is a must, along with an espresso martini. A wonderfully perfect evening thanks to Ashley and an incredible team. Would highly recommend.

   This Chart House is beautiful inside and with great views. The service and food was excellent. We love that it is not loud and we could converse easily while we ate and drank. Loved the experience. The Asian green beans as a side is recommended.

   I was there to celebrate my birthday! Sierra was my server. She was very attentive and made my dinner very special. The manager also stopped by to ensure all was well! I had the crab cakes, clam chowder & King crab legs, all delicious. Oh yeah, and the chocolate molten was divine! Overall, it was a great dining experience!
