    We 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!

    First timers, but will definitely return again. Wonderful restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. We were seated in the Captains Room. The ambiance was exquisite. I can only describe the service as impeccable, they know how to treat their customers and make the dining experience a delight! Brandon and Pedro were absolutely wonderful!

    Amazing service from start to finish beginning at the hostess stand. We never had to worry about whether our server was coming back to check on us, he also had an assistant server who cleared plates and checked in on us as well. (The check in’s were not overbearing). Food was phenomenal, we had the 14h NY strip, clams, oysters, olive bread & sea salt and a bottle of Daou Cab. Great ambiance, cool setting - there is even a display of oysters on the wall with rocks behind a metal bar caging. The bathroom also had a unique approach to soap- used an essential oil infused salt! Highly recommended and will definitely return on our next trip to Monterey!
