The Chart House was selected as the venue to host a family reunion for 21 people (8 people from out of state visiting and 13 locals). Location was perfect, parking lot to accommodate cars, beautiful building, ground floor dining to accommodate mobility impaired individuals and restrooms on ground level plus menu selections. The space reserved for our party was perfect and it seemed like we were in a private room. The wait staff - Sofia, Alfredo and Kim were outstanding!!! They were attentive, professional and kept the flow of the night going at a good pace. The food was delish as always and offered a an array of choices!! Drinks were good as well!! Thanks to the staff at the Chart House in making this a perfect event for our family reunion. read more

We ate here over the weekend to celebrate my dad's graduation from Harvard. We were all in town from Wisconsin, and while we have been to other Chart House locations, this was our first visit to the Boston location. The building is absolutely gorgeous - formerly the John Hancock Counting House, I loved that it was steeped in rich New England history. The staff was very kind, but my dad walks very poorly, and we were disappointed that they weren't able to accommodate our request to be on the first floor instead of the third. Considering there is no elevator, and there are a lot of stairs, it made it hard on my dad. That alone is the reason I am giving this restaurant 3 stars. The food was delicious, and I was thrilled that there were so many seafood options, given that we were right on the wharf. The New England Clam Chowder was by far the best I have ever tasted. Creamy with succulent clams and potatoes, I wished I had ordered a bowl instead of a cup! For my entree, I chose the shrimp linguine, and it was very good. I enjoyed the pesto in the dish, as well as the crispy prosciutto. For dessert, I opted for the lava cake - a staple in our family, we always get it when we go to a Chart House location. read more

While showing a friend around Boston, we made our way to the Chart House for dinner late one evening. My friend has a gluten allergy so finding places to eat was challenging, but luckily their menu had several options for her. To start, I ordered a bowl of clam chowder, and for my entrée, I ordered the blackened salmon which came with a seasonal vegetable and rice. The chowder was creamy and delicious. The blackened salmon had the perfect char to it, and the seasonal vegetables were seasoned quite nicely. My friend was able to enjoy a Caesar salad and she also ordered the blackened salmon but substituted her side dishes. All in all, it was an enjoyable meal down by the water, and the service was extremely friendly and attentive. read more

We chose Chart House for a private event and we are so happy we did! Including a prior visit to the bar several weeks beforehand where we talked to the bartender Jen about it, to my first phone call with Miruna and later conversations with Nicole, we felt well taken care of from start to finish. The atmosphere was perfect, the service was attentive yet relaxed, and the food was delicious. Our guests had nothing but compliments to say during and after the event. 10/10 recommend. Thank you, Chart House! read more

I would've never thought I'd get one of the best prime ribs at this spot, but I did! I'll admit, I haven't tried that many different prime ribs, but Chart House nailed it tonight. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and unbelievably delicious! The 3 potato garlic mash it's served with was awesome too. I also got the lobster bisque to start and that was also the best I've had thus far. The ambiance is very fitting and gives a cozy vibe. Our server was also amazing and went above and beyond for us. Truly a great dining experience. Highly recommend!! read more

Stinky was here for Christmas dinner. The restaurant is nice and it was quite crowded. Did not see any regular menu and all they had was the Prick's Fix one for 81 bucks. Service a bit slow. Mostly just beef and seafood. Stinky had the Chowdah, Strip Steak and Chocolate Lava Cake. Chowdah ok but had a different taste to it. Don't know known what they added to it. The steak was a bit tough and cooked more well done than medium as requested. Was kind of disappointed. Could only eat about half. The highlight was the Chocolate Lava Cake. This made Stinky flash his famous grin. So wicked tasty and yummy! Would like to come back and try this restaurant again with the regular menu and on a regular day. read more

Beautiful place!! The old brick building the restaurant is in is gorgeous and combined with the location right on the harbor, this place screams quintessential Boston. I came here for dinner with my husband, my parents and my in-laws. We started with calamari, shrimp cocktail, and meatballs. Shrimp cocktail was great and came served "smoking" on dry ice. But the kim chee calamari was my favorite! I've never had calamari like this and the sauce that came on it should come on all calamari everywhere! For my entree, I ordered the lobster stuffed scrod and it was fantastic! It was a perfect portion size, stuffed with plenty of lobster and just melted in your mouth. I ate the whole thing! For dessert, my husband and I shared the chocolate ripple mud pie and OMG. It was one slice but I wanted to eat the whole pie! Definitely check this place out for a classic "Boston" dinner :) read more

Ambiance was fine. Food was mid. Lobster roll was mediocre. Not really any flavor to the lobster, roll or mayo base it was in. Lemon wedge saved it. Fries were stale. Server came by once to take our drink order and once for our food order and acted like it was an inconvenience and never came back. We were the only people in the bar area except one guy watching golf and one person at the bar. Glasses sat empty the whole time without being checked on. VERY disappointing for the price tag. Especially in a city with such AMAZING food. read more

We love Chart House in New jersey and this one is in a historic building so we decided to stop in. Had a reservation for 5:15, were seated right away. The interior is much different than NJ but I loved it, it has a lot of charm and fits well to the Boston vibe. We waited for a bit until someone came over for the first time but once a server came over, he was very apologetic and explained that he didn't know we were seated as there is multiple floors, we completely understood. After that, the service was quick, food came out very quickly. We ordered two apps, the ricotta meatballs and peppered ahi tuna. Both were very yummy. For dinner, we split a filet minion with the chimichurri butter and it was tasty. The service was great especially. read more

Went to the Chart House for dinner recently and I would recommend this spot if you're looking for a fancy upscale restaurant next to the waterfront! What I look forward to the most at upscale restaurants is the great service they provide to our table. For this matter, we went as a big party and the servers did a great job handling our table and being understanding about minor inconveniences (i.e. order mix ups, water refills, etc). I am also a fan of their decor and dim lighting they set during dinner time. Valet parking is also present at the front door. Great for company dinners! As for the food, I typically don't order this but I really really enjoyed the coconut crunchy shrimp entree, especially since it comes with this coconut cream sauce that complements it so well. The shrimp were coated lightly but were very crunchy at the same time. I also enjoyed the mango sticky rice that it came with. I'd definitely get this dish again the next time I'm here. I ordered the lobster bisque, however I was not a fan of this soup since it had a very strong sherry flavor and little, if any, lobster bits in the bisque. The clam chowder tasted just okay. The sauce on the kimchee calamari also tasted more like a sriracha mayo rather than a kimchi sauce. Their burger was also surprisingly pretty tender and juicy! Their truffle fries are a big portion and have a good balance of truffle and cheese as well! We always order the hot chocolate lava cake, and the mini was a great size for those who can't have a full cake to themselves. Do note that the smaller version is less "lava cake"-y due to its size compared to the full size version. What we ordered: - Lobster Bisque - Kimchee Calamari - Coconut Crunchy Shrimp Entree - Truffle Fries - Hot Chocolate Lava Cake read more

We went for happy hour and we're not impressed. The bar held about 8-10 people. We were excited about the happy hour oysters Rockefeller and did enjoy them, the service, not so much. We each had a pomegranate martini that was good, but if you wanted a conversation the bartenders were not engaged. We ended with the prime rib slider's which were okay but they didn't even bother with cleaning away our other dirty dishes so I had trouble eating and left a slider and walked out. I don't think we recommend this restaurant for a happy hour experience. read more

My husband and I visited Chart House this past Friday for an early Valentine's dinner, and it was the highlight of our week. We opted for bar seating, which turned out to be the best decision of the night thanks to the incredible service. A huge shout out to Danny and Manuela! They were both exceptionally kind, personable, and truly went above and beyond: Custom Service: I requested blue cheese stuffed olives (which aren't usually on the menu), and Danny didn't hesitate to make them from scratch just for me. Expert Mixology: Manuela crafted a phenomenal pineapple tequila drink for my husband that was perfectly balanced. Local History: Beyond the drinks, we were so impressed by their knowledge of the historic building. It added such a cool, intellectual layer to our dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere of the wharf is hard to beat. If you're looking for great vibes and a staff that actually cares about the details, this is the spot. Highly recommended! read more

Good food and service in a historical building. We will be back - hopefully get a table with a view next time. Then it would be a 5.

Chart House - Ahi Tuna simply grilled! - Seafood Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Absolutely Disgusting and Unacceptable I cannot believe what just happened at what's supposed to be a high-end steakhouse. I was halfway through my steak and lobster tail ( an expensive meal) when a cockroach crawled right out from under my plate. Yes, you read that correctly: a cockroach. The waiter actually killed it right on the table, next to my food. When I told the manager, their response was unbelievably casual. They said, "We sprayed for them today, so that usually happens when we attack their homes." Seriously?! That's their explanation for a roach showing up on a dinner plate at a supposedly fine dining restaurant? As if that weren't insulting enough, they only took off the sides and appetizer from the bill. Not the main dish that the bug literally came out from. The lack of professionalism, cleanliness, and basic customer care is astounding. If you value hygiene, class, or even basic decency, stay far away from this place. I wouldn't go back if they paid me. Absolutely revolting read more

Chart House was decent. It definitely would have been better with better service. My group went on a Sunday in June in the early afternoon. Chart House is situated on the wharf in Boston very very close to the aquarium. We were able to walk there. Best place to park would be the parking garage near the aquarium. My party of three was sat right away. Despite being sat basically immediately, our server did not greet us for over 15 minutes. She gave us water and then did not come back for a while to see if we were ready to order. I only ordered one cocktail the entire time due to the slow service. I would have gotten more had the service been better. The menu had a good amount of options and variety to order. They did have a great selection of seafood. The prices were decent for the location. I got a margarita which I expected to be large based on price but was "normal" sized. It had a lot of ice so felt small. The food was very good. We got the chopped salad and chicken sandwich which were both very good. I was tempted to get this fish tacos but they came with ranch on them which felt very odd to me. I would rather have a crema or aioli on them instead. The chopped salad was good and the presentation was awesome. It had to be mixed well to eat well. The sandwich was great although the portion of fries seemed small and they were nothing to write home about. Overall, it was decent but I may or may not return, especially based on the poor service. read more

Chart house is one those chains that doesn't feel like it is. Chart House Boston is situated on a wharf in the Boston Harbor. It's ins beautiful area with a great view and just a short walk from the end of the wharf with incredible Harbor views. We took an Uber, but parking and accessibility didn't seem the best. The service was incredible. One of the friendliest and most helpful servers we've ever encountered. It was great to learn a little about him and his family. The food was dynamite. We had the crab cake (not pictured), and the corn slaw made the difference. In my opinion it could have used a tad more searing to get a slight crunch. I had the Lobster Stuffed Boston Scrod, and this ROCKED. So delicious and you could tell it was a quality dish from the first bite. I'd high recommend giving this place a try the next time you're looking for date night ideas in downtown Boston! read more

Everything was not better than mediocre. Pita with humans was burned and stale. Kimchi calamari was just calamari with hot and sweet sauce. Salad had burned dry chicken, goddess dressing was bland. Chopped salad dressing tasted and looked like bacon grease. Dirty martini was just vodka martini with olives. Fish and chips fish was super greasy. Giving 2 stars because the waiters were pretty nice. The molten lava cake is just heated cake with ice cream and syrup and some tasty crunchy bits read more

Came with my girlfriend and parents for a holiday meal, very festive! I had no idea how many floors it was, we were seated on the third floor. Booths were tight with the tables beside us if there were more than two people per side. We got the clam chowder, seared ahi tuna, and kim chee calamari which were all delicious! The steak was tender and easy to cut, the lemon herb salmon and mahi also well-received by the table. Would return for another special occasion! read more

My party of three had a Friday night reservation at 7:30. We arrived on time, only to be told by the host that it would be a 15-minute wait. That caught us off guard--isn't the point of a reservation to ensure your table is ready (or close to ready) upon arrival? We were seated within the 15-minute window, but then it took another 15 minutes for a server to appear, and another 15 after that for our drinks to arrive. When I asked a question about one of the cocktails and paused for a moment to consider her answer, our server clicked her pen impatiently--a small gesture, but not a welcoming one. The food arrived about 40 minutes later. I don't mind waiting for food if it's worth it, and in one case, it absolutely was: the lobster bisque was divine--easily among my top five ever. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal didn't measure up. The shrimp tasted off (fishy), the crab cake was bland, and the scrod was rubbery. Service continued to be inattentive throughout the evening. We weren't the only ones having issues--while my husband was in the restroom, he overheard a young boy (probably around 8 years old) approach the host to report poor service at his family's table. He told the host, "My mom said this is unacceptable." Honestly, I admired his boldness! On a more positive note, we sat outside, and the setting was lovely on that July evening. In the end, I'd recommend Chart House for drinks and appetizers if you're there for the view and atmosphere--but keep expectations in check when it comes to service and food beyond the bisque. read more

Beautiful historic John hancock bldg. Very original, his safe is still there. Staff was welcoming. Our waiter was ok gave basic service. Food was very good but presentation was disappointing.

Although the ambience is beautiful I would not recommend for a private party . The party planner was very difficult to teach during the planning process. In fact, our outdoor cocktail party was double booked and we needed to have the party indoors. Food snd wait service was very good. We don't a lot of money snd we're never greeted by a manager. read more

I must say, the food was spectacular here, as well as the ambiance of the place. However, for being an upscale dining restaurant in Boston, there were a few things that just didn't give the upscale vibe. One, we got a nice bottle of wine and we're not asked to try it, just immediately poured majority of the bottle into the glass. Second, and I don't know why this is my pet peeve, but the restaurant was almost completely empty initially, and they sit us right on top of the only other couple in the restaurant. I just think that giving people space, even if it's ONE table in between, is just a courtesy thing. It makes both parties look twice to be that close to one another, when an entire restaurant is empty. Lastly, the drinks did take a while, as well as the service. Overall, for my boyfriend visiting from Denver and wanting to take him to an upscale place, I would not recommend and we should have just stuck to the north end or seaport. read more

My girlfriend and I had dinner there last evening at the bar. Service was ok but all of them speak Spanish on the bar. That was uncomfortable....as we felt they were talking about us. Not the best vibe when you are spending $50 for a steak. Their was no engaging. Food was great though. We returned today.... Sunday... as we had no where else to go before airport...we were staying close by and normally have had a great experience. The bartender was pleasant enough but she did not understand our order. We did not get what we ordered...again food was great,, but not what we asked for. Could not be bothered trying to fix it as the bartender did not seem to understand us or be bothered to see if we were happy. Won't be back. Not impressed at all. Used to love it here.. had a bad experience over the summer and Jen fixed it next time we were in. Was hoping for her on Sunday. read more

The food was less than marginal. My coconut shrimp ok but my mahi with macadamia nut and peanut sauce was very blah. The restaurant is gorgeous but seeing almost NOONE in there was another clue. Sad because I've eaten at other Chart Houses and I was never disappointed. read more

First off the fact that this resturant is in the oldest building is boston is just a fun factor to dining here! It's a 3 story restuant which is made of brick. Looks super neat inside! Service was good for a group of 7. Got a few appetizers to start (shrimp cocktail, coconut shrimp & tuna) which were all good. Drinks and cocktails were great too. I got a tenderloin cooked medium but not much flavor on the steak but everyone enjoyed their food! read more

As always, we sit at the bar and this is your view. Beautiful old wooden beams and architecture. The bartender was running all over the place but managed to keep the service quality up. We actually stopped here twice for lunch no because the ambiance and food were good. The fish sandwich and chowder were superb and the fish tacos had a generous size piece of fish. Jennifer was our bartender and she kept hopping! read more

This was my favorite restaurant I tried while in Boston. We decided to walk here from the other side of Boston and it was like a 30 min walk but it was so worth it. We wanted to sit outside at first and look at the water but it got windy and cold so we moved inside. We ordered the steamed mussels mariniere to share. These mussels were perfect. The right amount of garlic and shallots with the white wine garlic butter sauce! Classic combo and it hits every time. I ordered the sea bass + lobster risotto. I do believe this was my first time ever ordering sea bass and I was not disappointed. It was perfectly cooked. Flaky and tender. The lobster risotto was nothing short of amazing! So creamy but not overcooked and mushy. The lobster was juicy and so flavorful. It truly was the best meal of the trip. I wanted to lick the plate but I couldn't it was that good. There was a roasted tomato beurre blanc on the plate and everything just paired so well. My taste buds were jumping jumping. Service was amazing and our server was really informative of the menu options we had questions about. He also said the meal I ordered was one of his favorites and I can see why 100%. read more
