We were celebrating a wedding anniversary. Erin , our server, went to extra lengths to recognize that it was our anniversary. She did a phenomenal job! The view from our table was outstanding, as we looked out on to Monterey Bay. The food was excellent! I would highly recommend the Chart House to anyone who’s looking for a great evening.

My wife and I had an amazing experience. We shared a prime rib and the waiter split it down the middle and placed it, a long with shared portions of the sides on separate plates . The food was amazing, the waiter and his assistants were amazing and attentive. I would recommend this place to all of my friends and family.

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.
