"I love this place and the food and service are usually terrific. We went for Mother's Day with a party of five, and we were very unhappy with the quality some of the food. While some was excellent, other entrees were really unacceptable. The service was slow, but the place was jammed, so that is excusable I guess. I would recommend this place as I thin we just hit it on a bad day. All of the other visits to this restaurant have been excellent!"

"We came here for Mother's Day brunch- buy the menu was really just a dinner menu, which was a little heavy for 11am. It was good- but we will look for something else for Mother's Day next time."

"My wife and I planned a get-away weekend in Monterey. We arrived at the restaurant on time and were seated immediately in a nice spot. However, It was PROM NIGHT in Monterey. Kids everywhere. They were cute.
Our server, Debbie, was excellent! She listened to my wife's requests and fulfilled our order quickly. I requested a replacement cut of prime rib and it was delivered by the restaurant manager immediately. It was my fault, medium /.medium well.
As always, the food was great, but that evening the music was a little distracting, but it could have been for the kids. Hope they enjoyed their prom."

"As always, the Chart House doesn't disappoint. Shrimp Cocktail appetizer was stunning with the dry ice presentation. All in the party ordered fish and all enjoyed our choices. Crab Cakes cannot be beat. The salad bar is a great deal if you want to go back after dinner and grab some fresh fruit (and Whip cream) for dessert which makes the place diabetic-friendly. And their salad bar is very nicely done, no matter what you read on other reviews. You can even get the salad bar only for a meal."

"The whole experience was wonderful. Had a reservation for 7:30pm. We arrived at 6pm, and the staff accommodated our early arrival and still received a "prime viewing" table by the window. Our waiter was very enjoyable and personal. He made some great recommendations for those who were undecided. We ordered "the works": Wine, appetizers, entrees, dessert. Everything was so delicious. We never felt "rushed", and even though we all ate a lot of food, our bellies felt "satisfied", not uncomfortably full.
It was a great way to celebrate Mother's Day. Chart House is a such a special treat/occasion for us (because of the distance from home), but is ALWAYS at the top of our lists of places we'd like to celebrate at."

"Me and my husband got a table with the most spectacular view in a corner for our selfs. Harbour seals were playing below us during dinner.
We had great drinks, especially my cucumber margeritha was outstanding.
The food was good; clam shouder and east meats west tuna for starters were both excellent. Cod with pasta was great. The scallops were nicely cooked buth the Asian beans too chewy.
A few mistakes where made though: for the entre my husband didn't have any fork or knife but had to ask for it, and they forgot our chocolate lava cake that you had to preorder since it took 30min to prepare...
Not as fancy restaurant as they trying to be, but the amazing view weighs up a lot!

"My family and I have been going to this Chart House for over 20 years for special occasions. Through the years the Monterey Bay view has always been spectacular, but though usually very good, the food and the service have had a few ups and downs. This visit, the service was friendly and fun, and the fresh fish we had was cooked perfectly and served deliciously. And of course the salad bar, fresh, clean, well attended, and finely representing its proximity to the Salinas Valley produce, has yet to meet its match."

"I chose to eat at the Chart House for the fantastic view and the food. I have never been disappointed with the food or the service. You are met at the door with a smile and a willingness to make your visit special and it goes through the entire dining experience.

"We went there on our honeymoon and we both had the prime ribe and I must say that it was to die for..lol The prime rib was soooo tender that you could cut it with a butter knife and it was very well seasoned! From the wine main course and the dessert, everything was wonderful. The aslo have a very helpful staff. When I made the reservation, I let them know that it was our honeymoon and when we got there and was seated at out table, our host handed us the menus and they had the menus personalized to say "Happy honeymoon and congrats on your marriage MR and Mrs _________" That was a first and we loved it."

"It's not one of the best restaurants on the peninsula, but it's a reliable old standard. On the plus side, it's part of the Landry's group, so the Landry's reward program is provided as well as Open Table reservations. On the down side, the wine list is lacking. I couldn't believe not a single Rose on the wine list (and, no I don't count their White Zinfandel as a Rose)."

"I got the chicken romano and it was great. The asparagus, however, was cold. My boyfriend got the mixed seafood grill and said it was wonderful.
The service was not so great. We were seated promptly, as we had a reservation. It took a good 10 minutes for our waiter to come greet us. He was very distracted by the large party in our seating area. Once he came over we ordered, as we had plenty of time to decide. He asked if we wanted bread before dinner, I said yes and he never brought it.
The view is nice if you are lucky enough to get a window seat. You walk in to a musty smelling front area to wait and we were seated across the bar. The restaurant seemed very outdated. If you are looking for a romantic dinner, go somewhere else."

"The service we received during my recent visit to The Chart House located on Cannery Row in Monterey, California was friendly, personable and efficient. A quiet window table was graciously assigned - providing a magnificant view for me and my sister, in celebration of her 50th birthday. A representative from the restaurant management staff came by our table during the meal to offer a genuine welcome; and to ensure that we were having an enjoyable experience, which we most definitely were. The beautifully prepared food was nicely proportioned and absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the generously-mixed cocktails with our appetizers and recommended Pinot Noir that paired well with both of our entrees. All in all, we had a wonderful time!"

"Very Busy Restaurant. Entrees were delayed, but waiter kept us in the loop and kept checking in with us throughout the meal. Classic wood interior for a rich atmosphere plus a water view."

"The view at this restaurant is great, but the food does not match. If you like food that has too much sugar and/or too much salt, you will like it. Otherwise it is over-rated and over-priced. Go only if you want the view."

"The Chart House in Monterey is a wonderful restaurant with great food, great service and an amazing view. There isn't a bad seat in the house. I had been to the chart house a few times, and on this last occasion took a lady friend to the coast for her birthday. The "best of shrimp" and "peppercorn medalions" were both great dishes. Filling, with no bad elements. The ambiance was conducive to romance and refinement. My only criticism was the chocolate lava cake, the signature dessert of the chart house was a little over cooked and was solidified rather than "lava". Still delicious. Even moreso when the server removed it from the bill, without being asked. Great experience all around."

"What can I say? The food, the service, everything was prefect. We booked the Chart House as a last minute thing and we are glad we did. They sat us right by the window overlooking Monterey bay. Watching the waves crashing, sea otters roaming around as well as tons of sail boats. Our meal was outstanding and yes it is a little pricey but well worth it. You can't go wrong by going to the Chart House."

"One of my favorite restaurants for holidays and special occasions. When we are lucky enough to get a window seat we can watch the sea otters play, eat and swim. At times there are sea lions and various sea birds to watch as well. The food is superb. The staff is excellent as well. They do everything they can to make the experience special."

"We were a group of seven with a 6 month old and were very pleased with the way they accomodated us. Besides all of us commenting on the food being really quite good the young woman server was very attentive and helpful and all went well. As if was a special evening for a 70 year old Grandpa's Birthday it was an excellent place to go in Monterey."

"The Monterey Chart House is a great place to bring visiting family and friends - and we do quite often. We can always count on excellent food, sterling service, and a fabulous view of Monterey bay. We love the salad bar and we always look forward to the Caesar's salad and the caviar."

"Nice location overlooking the Monterey Bay which certainly didn't hurt a really nice dinner. We had sea bass and halibut with a side dishes of garlic mashed and sautéed spinach. Very nicely prepared and fresh. Although I enjoy sourdough bread when I visit Calif, it was nice to have some French bread with this meal."

"It was my second time to Chart House, Monterey. My wife and I were celebrating our first anniversary. They gave us a perfect table by the window overlooking the bay at sunset. How could you go wrong!? The food was excellent and the service was on point. Our waitress brought out menus with our names at the top and "Happy Anniversary" to us. Very sweet touch. Both visits to Chart House have been wonderful successes!"

Food was excellent, ambiance was great and such a wonderful view from the table. The biggest thing that made me impressed was that they had made a special note on the menu telling congrats on our marriage, little things like this can make all the difference."
