    Both the food and service were great, especially the sommelier, he was amazing. I loved the ambiance, except that we were seated near the server station, which was a very busy area. At least ten people bumped into my right side during dinner.

    We’ve been coming here for over 10 years. My wife and I only come for special occasions. Everytime we’ve been here, Chart House gets it right. The drinks are strong and the food is impeccable. The service is always pleasant. And we always get a great seat in the restaurant. If you want a fancier dinner, this is your place! Tip: Make a reservation. They book up fast!

    The food and service were terrific. Our server, Nick, was very friendly and helpful and had great suggestions for which menu items went well together, when they should be served and everything came in the order we requested , not too soon or too late. Nick also arranged for us to get some special items not on the menu. All-in - all a very special evening and a special meal. Thanks, Paul Best.
