    My husband and I shared the porterhouse and our granddaughter got the wagu. They both were delicious!! The sides that came with the porterhouse were incredibly yummy (crispy potatoes and an Italian broccoli) We started the the garlic bread - which set a VERY High bar for the next course. I’m dreaming about the garlic bread - PHENOMENAL! Our server, Jane, was knowledgeable, kind and very attentive.

    It has been awhile since I've been to Chart House. Everything was top notch!! Our sever was Leslie, she was amazing. She was attentive and professional. We were having a business dinner and she was amazing, she asked if we were ready to order and we were not, she respectfully gave us time. Made sure we had drinks and checked in with us until we were ready to order, we never felted rushed. Food was delicious and well priced. I am coming back next month...
