Small oyster
Joshua L.

Visiting the area and was craving seafood. It must be hard to find decent oysters around here because it would take six of these to make one normal oyster. I've never seen oysters so tiny in my life--I was honestly shocked. The Creole shrimp is actually the showstopper. Yet wish the sauce was just a tad bit thicker. Yet I'm a hard critic given that I've had several variations of this dish throughout the world and found a thicker sauce really compliments the shrimp and is perfect for extra bread dipping. The app with pita I'm assuming is their version of hummus which was really just confusing to me. Something just tastes off to me yet this may be a regional favorite. So I'm assuming it's great for the locals. Overall dinner was fine and service was fantastic.

Steak, but covering the vegetables

The ambience is super noisy. There's a lot of hard walls and Glass and it's hard to have a discussion. The tables are so close together and there was this obnoxious gal talking with a nasal voice so close by that it made it very uncomfortable. That's not necessarily cha bones fault but they need to do something about the level of noise. When I ask for some A1 sauce for my steak, the gal gave me a look like that's a no-no but she brought me some. The steak was not so good. That was really a no-no. It was an OK steak at best. My wife was thoroughly pleased with her food and I'm so glad because we were celebrating her birthday. They do a spectacular birthday candle, which is more like a sparkler, which was a lot of fun. And they do serve a nice appetizer, which is some warm pita bread and a nice dip almost like a onion dip. Very good. As we were waiting for our food, I noticed a bus person setting up a table across the way, and she did what I consider a big no no. After putting the fresh table covering on while she was setting up the vinyl booklet that the check from the previous Diner fell on the floor. She picked it up and put it on the fresh table covering. If someone from the health department had seen what I saw they would've probably shut the place down. You don't pick something up off the floor and put it on the table of for the next diners to be dealing with and not even knowing it. Anyway, that's my experience and that's why I gave it a three this time. We'll go back, but I will be a little leery.

This is now our favorite restaurant in Lake Havasu. Beth and the staff are all amazing. The food is the best. And Happy Hour runs until 6 PM and includes so many great tapas and drink specials. And it runs 6 days a week! It is always busy so make reservations. We spent my stepdad's 101st birthday here last week. He often goes there alone and they always treat him so special and take care of him. He can't see real well so they will tell him what's on the menu. And because he uses a walker, they always get him seated quickly. The food is truly great, from creativity to plating. Most of the menu items come as a full meal or as tapas (half price during Happy Hour). Creole Shrimp, Stuffed Mushrooms, Oysters ChaBones, Brie, Apple, and Pean Flatilla, Blackened Halibut, Double Cut Pork Chops, incredible steaks, and ribs, just to name a few of what we have tried.

Genuinely cannot beat this happy hour, like, at all. We ordered six tapas plates and every single one was delicious. I'm still shocked that we only spent around $50 total... truly insane in the best way. At that price point, you'd expect teeny tiny portions or food that's just "meh," but that couldn't be farther from the truth here. We tried the hummus, filet mignon, beef and chicken satay, chicken lettuce wraps, and the fried zucchini, and honestly, there wasn't a single miss. Everything was flavorful, well-cooked, and felt way more elevated than typical happy hour bites. The filet mignon especially surprised me (not something you expect to love at happy hour prices), and the variety made it perfect for sharing and trying a little bit of everything. Overall, this is hands down the best bang for your buck I've ever had when it comes to happy hour. Amazing food, generous portions, and prices that almost feel too good to be true. If you're anywhere near the area, this is an absolute must, I would come back again and again without hesitation.

The food was overall really good for the area. We had some complications with some of my family memebers orders but the manager Beth and our waiter i who believe was chris handled it amazingly. They fixed the problem were extremely understanding.

Boar chops!

10/10! This was our second visit in the last month for a birthday celebration.. and it definitely won't be our last. Happy hour is always on point--the food, drinks, and atmosphere never disappoint. But what really made this visit stand out was our server, Jared. Holy moly... he was absolutely fantastic! We had a party of eight for my birthday, and my grown nieces were in town and let's just say they're a little... extra. Jared handled our loud, high-maintenance crew with so much patience, humor, and kindness. We loved the back-and-forth banter, and he made us feel like we were his only table all night. A huge shoutout to the food runners too! They were just as friendly, patient, and on top of everything. I'm so happy we have a place like this in town where you can relax, laugh way too loud, and feel genuinely welcome. The surrounding parties were also so patient with our shenanigans .. were probably the loudest table in the restaurant and i apologize for our over celebratory group .. and not once did anyone make us feel like we were a bother, in fact most patrons were welcoming and fit right in with our crazy banter .. always amazing, Great food, amazing service, and an all-around fun experience. We'll definitely be back again and again.

Great quality and 22 oz steak. Can split for 2 people their appetizer bread with hummus like sauce is warm, soft and tastes amazing.

Shrimp cocktail and oysters Chabones
Matt C.

What a great surprise! You need to come from 3-6 pm during happy hour for half price tapas and $4 domestic beers and great deals on well drinks and house wine. The creole shrimp was my favorite, but also the shrimp cocktail, and oysters Chabones. The place was packed but we secured a small table at the bar and they were so fast with getting our drinks and orders, they even had the bar back taking orders! I want to go back and try some entrees since the tapas were amazing!

The special...baked potato was overcooked but our server changed it out!
Nancy E.

Great restaurant for steaks and seafood. Very nice ambience and pretty large dining area and bar. Our server (whom I forgot his name) was great!! Gave us great recommendations, funny, personable and took great care of our needs and refilled our drinks!

When you offer steak, seafood, pizza, pasta, salads, random appetizers like chicken satay the vision gets lost. The food quality suffers. Blackened halibut was dry. Zucchini was grey and old and the carrots were basically raw. Potatoes water logged. Steaks were tough. Sugar was forgot in the creme brûlée. Tasted like rotten milk. Chris and chef confirmed someone forgot to put sugar after tasting the crème brûlée. Some positives about the food: They brought out a sparkler for my brother birthday on cheesecake which was very special. The complimentary bread was hot and fresh with butter. The scallops were cooked perfectly. I want to highlight Beth and Chris for their outstanding customer service. They remained professional, accountable and humble. They went above and beyond to make sure we left feeling well fed and satisfied. I genuinely believe Cha Bones would benefit from a menu revamp that focuses on meat on the bones ( like the wild boar currently on the menu) considering the name. I was surprised beef ribs weren't on the menu. I believe this place can turn around with a few minor adjustments. I see real potential here and I hope this honest review helps the business owner with a fresh perspective. My brother spent over $500 for a birthday dinner that was memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Went to Cha Bones this year for their Valentines Menu. It didn't disappoint. I had the Lobster Ravioli, my husband had the rack of Lamb. He says it was the best. The Ravioli was awesome. The service was excellent and ambiance beautiful! We will be back for the Prime Rib and also for their Happy Hour menu! Oops they forgot to give my rose!

Filet Mignon

This place is so fun. Great atmosphere delicious food and friendly helpful staff. Make reservations! It's very popular it worth every minute of waiting. The drinks are creative and cool - I had the smoked bourbon drink, it has a great presentation and it's delicious! The food is also expertly prepared.

Stuffed Shrooms
Jason B.

You know there's something special going on when you show up at a place at 3:30pm on a Monday and the place is already hoppin'. We got the last 2 seats at the bar. Let the tapas feast begin! We happened to be there for happy hour which makes small plates 1/2 off. For our first round we ordered oysters on the half shell, chili rellano (my personal favorite), beef satay, and stuffed mushrooms. Wow! Everything was really good. The oysters tasted fresh, the satay was on point, the stuffed 'shrooms were delicious, but the rellano, way over the top! Being an experienced rellano connoisseur, I would say this as one of the best I've ever had. And this isn't even a mexican place! Second round was seared ahi and ichiban. My beautiful bride exclaimed the ahi was her favorite. The ichiban was perfectly prepared. Service was outstanding. Wife enjoyed her margaritas (nothing fancy, just house). They don't have beer taps so I just enjoyed a couple of bottles of Miller Light. Being from the metro Phoenix area, I can say I've never had better tapas there (or from just about anywhere for that matter). This is definitely on our 'must visit' list whenever we are in Havasu!

The bar.  Nice design, fully stocked.  Our server, Jared.

Is it kid frendily?

There were children there when we went. They were around 7 and 10 but I don't see why you couldn't have younger

Do you need reservations?

yes you should have a reservation

What are Happy Hour times on Sunday?

3-6 with 1/2 price appetizers. It's the best happy hour in Lake Havasu.

I'll be very honest: we came in on a Sunday morning for brunch as a respectful, but admittedly…read morerowdy, group of ten celebrating a bachelorette party. We know that a large, excited group can be a lot for a server. Several people in our party currently work or have worked as servers, so we really do try to be understanding and tip accordingly. First, the good: the food was wonderful! Everything was cooked perfectly, and every person in our party was happy with what they ordered. The hostess and the other staff members we interacted with were also wonderful and incredibly helpful. The food itself was definitely a highlight of our brunch! One thing we were surprised by was that there was no drink menu at all. There weren't any drinks listed on the menu, so we had no idea what beverages were available or what we could order. Especially for Sunday brunch, having some kind of drink section or separate drink menu would have been really helpful. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was our server, Debbie. From our first interaction, it felt very clear that she was unhappy about having our table. When she first came over, we let her know that we would like separate checks. We completely understand that splitting a table of ten can mean a little extra work, but with the automated system being used, we didn't think it was an unreasonable request. Debbie's immediate response was to roll her eyes and sigh, which set an uncomfortable tone for the rest of the meal. There were several issues after that. One person ordered a regular soda and was brought a diet (but was too nice to correct the mistake). Another asked for her soda in a to-go cup and Debbie laughed at her. Someone else ordered a coffee, and after everyone else's drinks had arrived, hers still hadn't. She asked about it again, but it ultimately wasn't brought out until our food had started arriving and the hostess stepped in and brought it to her. After we finished eating, we immediately asked for our checks. We then waited about 10 minutes before asking for our checks again. When they still hadn't arrived, we had to ask again and the hostess went to check on them for us. When Debbie finally brought them over, she rolled her eyes at us again and said, "I was working on them!" One of the checks appeared to be incorrect, so someone in our party politely asked for clarification. Debbie took the receipt, crumpled it up, said, "That's not yours," and walked away. We were honestly stunned. It was the check that had been brought to our table, so there was no way for us to know that it wasn't ours without asking. What makes the experience particularly disappointing is that our group is very aware that we can be a little loud and rowdy when we're together. That's actually why we make such a point of being respectful to our servers and tipping generously. It's a fun tradition in our friend group for each person to tip a good amount (sometimes $20+) on their individual check when we go out together for good service. Several of us have worked in the service industry, so we know that a table of ten can be a lot, and we like showing our appreciation. We absolutely don't expect special treatment because of that, but it was disappointing to feel like we were an inconvenience from the moment we sat down. Overall, the brunch food was fantastic, and the hostess was wonderful. Unfortunately, Debbie's service was consistently unfriendly and dismissive, and it put a pretty big damper on what otherwise would have been a wonderful Sunday brunch celebrating our friend. We will definitely choose a different brunch spot next time.
