- JJonathanNew York City •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoExceptional meal and service. Quality was exceptional. On the pricey side butt worth it due to superb quality and good sized portions Appetizers and salad were served family style and could have been a good lunch by itself. Entres were delicious. We had striped bass, flat iron steak and chicken. All 3 were perfectly cooked and tasty but not overly salty. Strong recommendation 5 starsMore infoSierra Mar - Post Ranch InnPrice: Very Expensive• Organic• Big Sur•4.7
- JMJoeMCalifornia Central Coast •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day 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
