Food tasted very good. However, immediately upon returning to the hotel my girlfriend started throwing up. I was sick all night after eating here and missed pre wedding festivities for my friend. Laying in bed currently before the wedding today deathly ill. Do not eat the calamari. read more

Recently had a work dinner here and everything was great. Zoe, David, Danny, and Meg were fantastic. Zoe gave a history of the restaurant and noted that the building is older than the US. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Please stop having waitstaff give a speech about loyalty points while guests are eating dinner. Our waiter went on for 5mins, twice... while we were trying to eat to get us to sign up for a loyalty card. This alone made us not want to eat here again. read more

My husband and I recently enjoyed a special lunch at Chart House on the Boston waterfront. First off we loved the building's charm, including the beams and brick-exposed decor. I enjoyed a refreshing cucumber and honey mocktail, then we had a perfectly chilled bottle of wine, and a delicious wood-smoked Manhattan prepared right at our table. Our food (lobster roll, shrimp and mango stack, bronzed salmon & crab, chopped salad and a chocolate lava cake) were all fantastic! We had impeccable service and enjoyed a friendly visit to the table from the Brian the general manager. It was our first but definitely not our last time there! read more

After a great experience a few weeks ago, we went in for a special occasion dinner. Unfortunately it was a terrible experience on all accounts, except for the beautiful building. Awful service, food was below average & management wasn't helpful. Despite a room at ~ 30% capacity, an entree (a $50 item) sat under the lamps while the other dish was prepared. End result was an unappealing presentation. The other dish, stuffed scrod was heavy on stuffing & light on lobster. Crab cake was so so & fishy vs fresh tasting. Most of this was brought to the manager's attention who threw the wait staff under the bus & insisted we take a slice of pie with us. Really atrocious from start to finish, except the building! read more

Boston Harbor goodness! Such a cute spot right on the harbor, and very savory food and drinks were quite lovely. Ambiance --We we're unable to get a seat upstairs where the views are just lovely but we had a high table by the bar. Darklit vibe made for a calm, intimate atmosphere Food --We ordered a Surf & Turf (Filet Minon & Lobster) combo & Paneed Chicken both with mash potatoes. I personally am allergic to shellfish so I can't speak personally to the Lobster, but my friend did tell me he absolutely loved it, as well as the Filet Minon. The Paneed Chicken was a great amount of savory, mixed with lime juices and the Mash, it was an excellent combo! --For appetizer we ordered Spinach and Artichoke dip. Not my favorite SpinArt dip I've had but still delicious and enjoyable. Drinks --Ordered a "Rose'loma". I recommend if you want something sweet but not too sweet :) Overall Lovely experience, I would come back. This spot is a bit on the pricey side, (Paneed Chicken was about $27) but if you're looking for a little more quality, I would check it out! read more

Our Server Garrett was amazing, he offered us a culinary experience. He chose our apps for us, we had the kim chee calamari which is tossed in an aromatic slightly spicy dressing, the Ahi tuna was so fresh, the homemade crab cakes to die for. Can't go wrong with any of the steaks. The NY cheesecake and key lime pie are a must. The whole staff at the Boston Chart House was amazing read more

Wish I could say I had a great experience but I did not. The waitress was okay, she didn't come back to us much at all throughout the night though. I informed her I had a nut allergy and she said it was fine, but once i got back to the hotel I was brutally sick. Won't go into detail but it was coming out of both ends and made me feel disgusting. I called the restaurant today to complain and the person who answered sucked. I said me and my boyfriend got sick from the calamari and she just said "well no one else complained that they were sick" and that was it. If you do eat here, DO NOT get the calamari unless you want to be glued to the toilet for the next few hours read more

I came here for dinner during a recent weekend trip in Boston. Surprisingly, there wasn't a long wait despite how busy they appeared. To start, my table shared the Heirloom Bruschetta Board - delicious - and I split the mojito flight with my husband. The mojitos weren't strong, and they tasted like freeze pops. For my entree, I ordered the Boston Cod (baked and breaded) which came with roasted veggies, and I added a side of garlic mashed potatoes. I didn't really care for the veggies, the cod simply had bread crumbs on top (I wish it was more crunchy) and the mashed potatoes were my favorite part of the whole meal - buttery and garlicky perfection. Overall, I was happy with my visit and would return during another trip. read more

I had dinner on Friday night and the food was to die for. I had the lobster stuffed scrod and my friend had the prime rib and they both were amazing. The server Linzy was so attentive and friendly. The manager Steve stopped by a couple times to check on us and told us all about the history of the building and he told it with so much enthusiasm. It was simply a perfect night out. Will definitely be back with friends. read more

We spend our holidays here. They have a fixed menu with a lot of great top tier options for a three course meal and complimentary valet parking. read more

Chart House was our final stop on our 6-day Boston trip and it was by far one of the best meals of the trip. The history of the building, the stories from the server, and the food...all the food... it was all amazing. Clam Chowder was on point! Delish. Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes- out of this world! Perfectly cooked medium - juicy, seasoned, and could cut it with a fork. Seared Citrus King Salmon - my colleague is still raving about this dish! It was presented artfully with quinoa and greens. As we were preparing to head to the airport, we decided to take in one (or two) craft cocktails before catching our uber. The Bourbon & Chocolate was our choice. And one was simply not enough. This drink has haunted me for months. It was by far one of the best drink experiences. Soft, smooth, chocolate and cherry notes. Well balanced. I've spent a full month hunting down the recipe so I can make it at home and have made it at every holiday gathering, party, and game night. My favorite local venue listened to me rave for so long that they made their own version of bourbon and chocolate (good but not the same) and named it after us on their menu. My chart house experience will stay with me and I can't wait to take my spouse to Boston for this experience. read more

Made a reservation for outside seating. Showed up early and watched them give the outside tables to people with no reservations. Was told they had no outdoor seating. Left. read more

Last Saturday night, January 25, 2025 my wife had dinner at the Chart House in Boston and while my wife's filet mignon was excellent, my prime rib was very much less than anticipated and expected. When it arrived it looked like it had been sitting under the hot lamps waiting to be picked up because it did not look like a typical prime rib that I have both enjoyed or even cooke myself many times. Moreover, it lacked the typical fat and cooked marbling that I have experienced. The meat was pale in color, again, perhaps because the portion sat under the heat lamps. It was just an overall poor cutting, tasting and appearance wise cut of prime rib that I am accustomed to. Maybe it was just a bad side of beef or it just stayed too long under the heat lamp, but again, none of that good fat, both inside the cut of meat and on top. read more

Will return. This is a chain restaurant, started by two partners, Joey Cabell and Buzzy Bent in 1961. The Gardiner Building, however, is from 1763, the oldest structure on Long Wharf. It's known as Hancock's Counting House", was built for Thomas Hancock, then used by his nephew John Hancock. It has four stories but I think only three levels are used for the restaurant. The interior is wonderful, maintaining the old world charm: exposed bricks walls, wide wood beams and floors. Foods are delicious: kimchee calamari, fresh mozzarella with pesto. read more

Service and venue are great. Food meh. Nothing special but pricey cuz of historic reputation.

Food was really good. Loved the Kim Chee Calamari. Services was not the best. Our food was brought to the table and we didn't see the waitress or were asked if we needed anything until we were ready for the check. No drink refills. Had to cut my steak with a butter knife because one was not provided and the waitress did not come around for me to ask for one. Really wanted the lava cake but waitress didn't come back around for me to order. We did not have a reservation and they were booked. We were able to get a table at the bar for family of 6 immediately. The ambiance is nice. read more

Came here on a horrible a Saturday night food timimg wise a couple of weeks ago but had a great time at bar with Jen. She convinced us to come back and give another chance because it was not what the Chart House Boston is known for. We came back on Monday before we flew home. It was busy but Jen was amazing she remembered us immediately and took great care of us. She is an absolute gem. Worth it. Go see Jen at the bar for a great experience... she truly cares. read more

Excellent dinner and service at the Chart House last night. Delicious fresh oysters and fried calamari. I had the lobster stuffed schrod. It was delicious. My husband got the filet mignon, it was cooked perfectly. We were with another couple, they made a mistake in one of their dinners and went above and beyond to fix the error.The restaurant was beautifully decorated, it was a great evening. read more

Where to begin: Was sat down at reservation time, but it took 25 minutes for the server to return to order our food and drinks. The ceasar salad was good. The lobster bisuqe was too sweet and luke warm. Wrong temp of prime rib. And half of it was solid fat ( pic below) . Ordered the coconut shrimp, which had a weird flavor and dried out, which tasted like rubber. The sauces were set down but not explained what they were and were mixed in with each other. The server seemed not to care and acknowledged that they were slow. read more

Not sure if it was the high expectations or the fact that this restaurant is in a prime location that makes my disappointment worse. We visited following a long day of tourist activities in my home town. I ordered the Chart you course which come with a choice of soup or salad , prime rib, salmon and shrimp or a trio meal, and a dessert. The chopped salad was yummy. Full of flavor and taste pretty fresh. The prime rib disappointed my taste buds and sent me home with a terrible stomach ache. Thankful my waiter was pretty charming and very understanding of my dislike for the meal. The only reason I didn't ask for a manager. The oysters were great, the chowder was good. I would go back. read more

I have enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the Chart House family of restaurants for many years. Each CH has its own, distinctive looks and feel. Many CH restaurants are in historic buildings, or are styled to look the local architectural styles. Most of the CH are in or near waterfronts. Boston CH is no exception. I was supposed to meet some friends but still wanted to try the Boston version of CH, si I went during their Happy Hour (4:00-6:00pm).aa usual, I sat at the bar (gives me an opportunity to interact with bartenders and servers, and observe the operations). I ordered several appetizers and Happy Hour small plates and I was surprised that portion size, quality of the food and value were fantastic. I subtracted a * because of the erratic and sometimes discombobulated service. read more

We went to the church house in Boston. Not only was the location. Epic because it was historical. But the food as usual was fantastic. We got the lobster bisque as well as their famous clam chowder. Salmon was excellent. Shrimp cocktail fantastic. Most of the wait staff is not American lol. so their "style" is always a little different. But they were still lovely. Prime rib, top notch. And in the fall they had a Bree and seek and croute that was absolutely to live for. read more

Been meaning to review this since I went in november, and wow! The food was amazing and so was the mojito flight my boyfriend and I shared! For just $30 (i cant remember exactly), we got 6 mojito drinks each (2 servings in each cup with different flavored syrups), and then an amazing dinner for decent price as well. I ordered the shrimp and scallops which was absolutely delicious!! If I am in boston again I will definitely be back here. read more
