This is a famous seafood and steak house in Monterey . It is always fully booked . If you don't have a reservation, chances are that you have to go eat somewhere else . They have happy house Monday to Friday from 4-6 pm . The prime rid sliders is a hit ! We came here on dinner and the earliest reservation we could get was 7:45 pm on a Saturday! We ordered some cocktails and the 10 ounces prime rib cut ! Originally we were going to order some seafood and the prime ribs. However, we got prime ribs only because we love their prime rib so much and would rather stick to the steaks . The prime ribs were medium rare and I asked for more on the rare side . It was tender and juicy and cooked to perfection. We had ordered different cocktails and they were great . Our waiter was very friendly, attentive and check on us often . Parking is hard in this area . We parked in the paid parking lot near by . There were only a few spots available even it was $15 paid parking. The restaurant has a club membership so that you can get priority access to reservations. This time we forget to bring the membership card so we got a 7:45 pm reservation. The restaurant was packed even this late . It has tables next to the pretty ocean and a nice menu for cocktails and wine . It was fun and nice dinning experience. read more

Service was extremely slow. Had a reservation and once seated it took 17 min for the server to approach the table for the greeting. The food lacked flavor, once the food arrived the server didn't check in on us at all. He didn't bring me a knife for my prime rib, had to flag down a busboy to get the proper utensils to have my meal. Overall extremely disappointed read more

We received a nice gift card for here so us 3 locals decided to go for dinner on a busy March Saturday. Our reservation was for 5 and the place was packed. I totally forgot how cool that building is. And the views from their huge windows are incredible of course. Service was decent considering how busy they were. 2 of our party got steak and salad bar. I did the spiced ahi and salad bar. The ahi was very good. The bokchoy and Fukaki rice were both bland. Get the mashed potatoes subbed instead. I really only ate the tuna. But that was ok cuz their salad bar was really very good. I was full just on that. I appreciate that they have a choice of lettuce or spinach (I'm not a fan of lettuce). I made myself a huge salad, they have ALL the fixings. Including premade salads. The shrimp crab Asian salad was fantastic. Caviar, anchovies, marinaded mushrooms, artichokes, and more and more. It was a feast. I'd go here again maybe just for the salad bar. $29 ala carte or $19 with entree. $210 for 3 entrees each with salad bar, and tax. Not including tip, only ice water to drink. Pretty expensive really, but I do recommend their salad bar. read more

Everything was excellent. Zane was our server great personality very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Definitely coming back. read more

We've been here a few times now for special occasions and you really can't beat the view at sunset. Service is usually pretty good, the warm bread is always yummy. My go to is coconut shrimp! Or any of their steaks. If you tell them you are celebrating something ahead of time they specialize the menu which is cute. read more

We've been coming to Chart house for years. I've been hesitant write a review because I don't want the secret out but Zane is amazing, food is top notch, view is sublime. If you want mediocre food, horrible service and less than pleasant views, do not go here. If you want to have the best meal in Monterey, drop all plans and go visit Chart House! read more

Back after 9 years another Birthday celebration Service: 4/-5 Food selection: filet mignon and shrimp scampi 3 half /5 salmon with rice, 4/5 Caesar salad 4/5 Cream spinach 2/5 The steak had a decent flavor, but I didn't like the cut too or texture It was kinda weird chewy ; the salmon and rice dish had a good flavor and the Caesar salad was good Nice presentation; the calamari was really good and I usually don't it calamari but this sweet and spicy sauce they put on it with all the add-ons was so good. I've have creamed spinach multiple places and this one just didn't do it for me. It was clumpy. It didn't have flavor. It just didn't give the cream spinach taste that Im used to. I wouldn't order this again. I also enjoyed a good lemon drop. Service: 4/5 service was good very attentive patient and professional Ambience; 10/10 I love the ambience. The chart House has one of the best views & ambience inside and out! If you're lucky to get a window seat, the decor is very nice and all of the staff seem to be very nice and attentive. Conclusion: when I am in the area, I will definitely stop by again. I love this place. The food is pretty good for the price point but the steaks definitely could use some work. They definitely need to choose a little better cut of meat but overall everything else was pretty good. I enjoyed my birthday dinner and also my cute little birthday dessert thank you chart House. See you again. read more

I am a native to the peninsula, but I have never been here before. I decided to take my twin girls for their 18th birthday dinner and finally give it a try. Although the ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful, we were not happy with the food by any means. I ordered the prime rib, and the last prime rib I ordered from the casual BJ's restaurant chain had more flavor than this very pricey cut. I chose the salad bar, but I was not given any direction from our server on where plates were or anything else about it. Although I loved the views, we would never go again. It was just up to par for the prices by any means. Sadly disappointed. read more

As many times as my husband and I have visited Monterey, this was the first time trying Chart House. It was my birthday so I really wanted something special. We showed up at our reserved time and we were seated immediately. Our waiter was super friendly and accommodating for our meal requests. The place was pretty busy, but service was great. The decor is absolutely beautiful, filled with rich woods that gave it a very romantic cozy feel. Since I had already had seafood for lunch, I decided to try the prime rib and OMG, it was amazing. It was cooked at the perfect medium, and was so tender and flavorful. I added a loaded baked potato, which topped it all off. The lobster bisque and clam chowder were top notch and both delicious. They also provided a lovely birthday candle on my dessert! Did I mention my dessert was a lava cake? It was to die for and I ate it all even though I was so stuffed before it even came. I will definitely return and I highly recommend! read more

Had a great experience during happy hour. For happy hour, you sit at the bar or in the designated area of the restaurant. My family enjoyed their happy hour drinks. Delicious food, great views of the water. Their lot was full so we parked on the street, no issues. My favorites were the tacos, calamari, and tuna over rice. read more

Beautiful Views, But a Major Miss on the Food I've been to a number of Chart House locations over the years and have generally had great experiences, so I was excited to visit the Monterey spot. The location and views are, as expected, stunning. However, the experience with the food was unfortunately a real letdown, starting with the fresh raw oysters. While the oysters themselves seemed to be of fine quality, the shucking was honestly terrible. Several of them had fragments of shell and even some mud left on the edges. The adductor muscle wasn't released on the bottom of any of them, so I found myself having to awkwardly cut each one loose and flip it over myself before I could eat it. The most glaring issue was one oyster that had a hole completely smashed through the bottom of the shell, and it was full of shell fragments. It was completely inedible. I pointed this out to our server, and to their credit, they were very professional about it. They promptly brought out a single replacement oyster, and this one was perfect--beautifully shucked, muscle released, and properly turned. It showed me what should have been served in the first place. Moving on from the appetizers, the rest of the meal was also hit-or-miss. The salad bar was nice and had a good selection. Unfortunately, our main entrees didn't fare as well. My halibut was dry, and my boyfriend's prime rib was surprisingly tasteless. Ultimately, the best part of our dinner was the nice view. While the service recovery on the oyster was appreciated, it's disappointing to have such fundamental errors in preparation and execution from a restaurant like Chart House, from the appetizers through the main courses. This experience definitely fell short of the standards I've come to expect from the brand. read more

Not sure where to start here. Overall the experience was not bad but it definitely wasn't great. Our starters of the crispy tuna was 80% rice (without seasoning) and 20% spicy tuna that did not really taste fresh at all- skip this. I ordered the "chefs special" miso black cod and it was so incredibly bland and the bed of vegetables could have been a frozen mic from trader joe's. Maybe it was just my dish because everyone else liked their meals (lamb and steak), but man don't recommend the chef's special, OR hype it as the special for that matter, if it is going to be poorly executed. I will say the Mud pie was so yummy and I would actually go back to order just that hahaha. They messed up our creme brulee so they gave us a free hot chocolate lava cake (also chefs special go figure) and it was dry and not very good- probably why it was free. Overall, you aren't going here for the food, mostly the oceanside views. read more

We decided to come here for a date night. We were seated by the water which was pretty and nice! The customer service was amazing and the explanation of the dishes was good. Our server/bartender and host was really attentive and cool. Unfortunately, the food was alright. It wasnt something to write back home about. I really liked the restaurant as a whole, but I wish the food was a little bit better. Especially for the price. I don't want to take away from the people who work there, I just wish the food was a little better. read more

Absolutely no options for vegetarians except for a salad bar. Mostly meat and seafood entries. I declined the vegetarian burger since there would be cross contamination when being grilled on the same pan as the meat. The offer of a vegetable pasta was not very appetizing. Great for meat and sea food lovers. Not for vegetarians. read more

Just a short walk from our hotel Clement, who went out for a late dinner. It's my wife's birthday weekend so wanted a nice dinner. We didn't arrive till about 8:30 at night so we were easily seated at a window table on the bay. The server Kimberly greeted us and provided friendly service throughout without being overly intrusive.. The restaurant is big and it wasn't crowded because it was late. I got the Caesar salad, which was in a toasted Parmesan bowl and was very good. My wife got the beet salad, which is unlike anything I've ever seen and it was a very big portion. We both got the lobster bisque and it was delicious. My wife got the lobster and I got the black cod which was buttery and cooked to perfection. Topped it off the cappuccino and had no room for dessert. read more

We were very excited to come back to the chart house as we have had always had great experiences here for many years. We booked Mother's Day brunch and flew in from San Diego to treat mom and this has always been a fave. Service was just Meh 2 stars . Food 1 star. We ordered the lobster benny my mom and I, and my sister chicken and waffles. We think our food was left on the pass for a while as our waitress went to lunch and we had another waiter cover and it took an hour to get our food. Our food was lukewarm with about a sprinkle of crab crumbles and Hollandaise sauce equaled about 1/2 of a teaspoon for both plates and it tastes terrible. The English muffins were barely toasted no nooks or crannies or crunch at all on these muffins. The asparagus that came with it was just blackened and was not even trimmed like you would do yourself at home. The waffles were very soggy the chicken was at least decent. I have had a better breakfast at a holiday inn or Denny's. We are by no means food connoisseur's but this was the blandest most disappointing meal any of us have had in a very long time. It was so bad I had to write this review. We did tell our waitress how disappointed we were and she said she would let the chef know. no manager came over nothing. We didn't get an apology or anything. We paid for the meal and all of us left just sad and disappointed. I understand it's a busy holiday and the menu was limited due to this. We knew that before arrival but the premium price charges did not meet the quality of food expected. read more

My friends and I love Chart house. We have visited different locations. We visited this one on 4/14 We had a good time and enjoyed our dinner but our server wasn't very warm. The service was prompt but it felt just very dismissive and impersonal. We noticed meanwhile the table next to us, got very different treatment. It seemed perhaps the staff knew those people personally because they were all very chatty and kind with them. read more

I'm a bit torn on the review yet I feel honesty is the best policy. They first tried to put us at a window seat which overlooks the ocean and simply stunning views. However they clearly added several tables to accommodate the Valentine Day weekend. It had zero room for our legs and we were back to back of other dinners. They kindly moved us to another table and our server took our order. We ordered the kimchi calamari. It's probably my favorite preparation! Crispy yet delicate with a slight kick of spice. Somewhat reminiscent of peanut Thai sauce. Here is where it gets a bit funky. We had finished our appetizer and our trip to the salad bar. Mind you we had asked the waiter since we had the salad bar and appetizer to space our meal out for us. We are waiting and to the point I needed to go add time to the parking meter (we had 1:40 on meter) at the point we are thinking our meal may arrive our waiter approaches the table and says he believes he has lost our ticket and asked us our order again, he comes back after a bit and seems to have found it. We aren't overly concerned until we wait even longer a good 30 minutes before our meals arrive. We were perplexed but not perturbed. Our meals arrive and it's clear they are putting food out quickly for the holiday and have cut menu a bit as well our food was clearly not delivered fresh. The steak was warm and the mashed potatoes cold. The shrimp was warm yet way over cooked and the rice was cold. So I cannot say it honestly was our best experience on our seven year anniversary/Valentine's Day meal. We both said the same thing as we were leaving that we were glad it wasn't our first time as it likely would have been our last. The meal with two salad bar and appetizer and a bottle of wine overall reasonable at $200. read more

I have heard so many stories and reviews about this place, and now I finally had the chance to experience it for myself--both the food and the service. It was a continuation of my birthday weekend . We had reservations for over 14 people and were warmly greeted by the concierge, who seated us and took our orders promptly. Towards the end of the meal, the manager kept checking on us, especially since we had toddlers and young kids with us . However, we were unaware that there was another large party coming in to take over our table until the manager mentioned it. My husband felt rushed , especially since everyone was still enjoying their drinks . In the end, he decided it was best to ignore the pressure and simply give the restaurant less-than-favorable feedback and a minimal tip , considering we ordered an extravagant meal and drinks from the menu. Will we go back to this place? Maybe not. read more

We had reservations for a party of 11 to celebrate my twin sisters' birthday. A very cute touch is that they personalized the table's menus with celebratory wishes. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance with warm wood, interesting architecture, pretty chandeliers, & large windows with ocean views. Our server, Vanessa, was pleasant & helpful. We also met a manager (I believe her name was Cheryl) who was very conversational & congenial. We interacted with the friendly man who made a table side cocktail. The food lowdown-- STARTERS Kim Chee Calamari was delicious & had great texture Lobster Bisque--liquor flavor (Brandy? Cognac?) was too prominent, had chunks of lobster Clam Chowder--good, thinner style, lots of brunoise sized clams & potatoes Caesar Salad--fine MEATS-- Various cuts of Prime Rib, Filet, Teriyaki Sirloin, Kids Hamburger upgraded to have American cheese All the meats were cooked to our individual liking & tasted delicious! SIDES-- Lobster Tail, Shrimp Scampi, Asparagus (simple & perfectly cooked), Mushrooms (tasty), Asian Green Beans (just tasted like wrinkled beans with soy), baked potato (swimming in a pool of butter) DESSERTS-- Lava Cake, Key Lime Pie They were SO worth the calories! NOTABLE DRINKS-- Tableside Torched Apple Manhattan was fun to watch & smokey. The Choreographed was tasty & strong, a smooth sipper. Coffee was delicious! There were some negatives-- It got pretty busy & our server was also manning the bar at times. Service wasn't as attentive & wait times would drag for refills, table clearing, to go boxes, & handling the bill. The Shrimp Scampi & Baked Potato fixins didn't come out with our meals, but were eventually remedied. We were seated as a big group in the bar area near the front door which let in cold drafts. The table set up was pretty tight for our group & didn't have a lot of table real estate for all the food. Oddly, each round of Shirley Temples came in different kinds of glasses. Note: We were told the bill could only be split between 3 credit cards. Overall, the food was delicious & nicely presented. This is a nice place for a special occasion. While we felt we waited around a lot, at least we didn't feel rushed at all. The server was also happy to take group photos. read more

The views were amazing - we were able to sit by the window and get a view of the sunset, the seals in the water and the beautiful bay! The service was great- all of our servers recommendations were on point. The food was delicious- the crab cake appetizer was amazing- so worth it! The Kim chee calimari was good (iv had better), the lobster carbonara was delicious- a bit buttery! The brown table bread was good- the knife wouldn't cut it - you had to tear it with your hands: and ending with the lava cake was delicious- perfect experience for a great evening in Monterey! Highly recommend reservations, and happy hour at the bar! read more

I made a reservation for my best friend's bday 4 days prior. When we arrived on a Monday, we were greeted by the hosts and were checked in immediately. We waited for a couple of minutes before being sat down and then given a bday card. We sat on a corner of the restaurant to the windows where you can see the ocean. I don't always enjoy corner areas, but with the sea otters out and about, I really couldn't have picked a better spot- probably the best place to be! The service was excellent, and our waitress always checked up on us at appropriate times and always refilled our water. For food, we both shared the coconut shrimp while I got the King Salmon and cucumber martini, and she got the spiced ahi and pomegranate martini. The drinks were strong yet had lots of flavor. I usually never get drinks that are this strong compared to other places, but this one really impressed me. The coconut shrimp was delicious, and the sauces that came with it were very addicting- the sweet white coconut sauce was the best. I also ended up eating a lot of the garnish rice crisps that were below the shrimp. We weren't informed when we sat down, but there was also a salad bar with your typical salad ingredients. It was a great second appetizer. The king salmon was cooked just right for me. Not too soft but not too tough as the salmon melts in your mouth. My partner (and I) enjoyed the spiced ahi. A bit cooked on the outside and raw on the inside, it went perfectly with the sauce that was around the plate. Lastly, we had a slice of vanilla ice cream cake with a chocolate crust. It was so good. It's so good I didn't even remember if it was added to our bill. Overall, my best friend and I had a great experience here and enjoyed the live entertainment from 6 sea otters! read more

Visited for Valentine's day weekend. I ordered a cup of the clam chowder and the lemon crusted Salmon. My partner ordered the seafood pasta. The clam chowder was amazing, it def needed some hot sauce and I wish they had the little oyster crackers for that crunch. My salmon was also very tasty and served with mashed potatoes. The plate was a little barre and I wish it was served with some vegetables or a choice of another side. My partner did not enjoy the seafood pasta, there was no sauce and no meat from the clams or lobster tail. Very dry pasta lacking flavor. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Overall 4/10. I would probably not return. read more

What a nice surprise! We were celebrating our anniversary. The restaurant even recognized it personalized the menu for us. Ordered NY steak, which we spit ( no derision from wait staff- they brought out an extra plate) it was cooked perfectly for us. We had asparagus, green beans and salad bar. All excellent. Our friends had cod and filet with sides and they enjoyed them. Was given mud pie as a treat for our celebration. Deducted one star because waiter seemed completely disinterested in his duties. He did refil waters and tea. But he was not happy to be there. Seemed like a former surfer dude who just didn't want to be there. Despite empty tables and reservations for 5 pm we weren't seated til 5:20. The view was amazing. read more

Honest review here... have been wanting to try for a while and from the minute I entered things just were not up to par. We came in at 3:30pm and only two other tables occupied in the entire restaurant. Service was slow but the waiter was nice. Had to ask for a clean water glass since one of ours had hood stuck to it and my seat also had dried food on it. My husband got the clam chowder- ok flavor but super watery. Not even close to chowder. I had the salad bar which was good but not great. Our main course came- my husband got the salmon with crab on top with mango sticky rice. He said it was "meh". No real flavor, not horrible but for the price not worth it. I had the mama lucci shrimp linguine. The shrimp were good, the linguine had no flavor. Even though there was some type of pesto on it, there was literally no flavor so I squeezed 2 lemons on it to give it something! Our total bill before tip was $152, no alcohol, just iced tea. I would never go there again. No flavor of the food, horrible clam chowder, meh service . read more

Wow -- Charthouse completely blew me away the past few times my family and I have gone for dinner! The view alone is worth the visit, but the food and service have made the whole experience amazing every time, it's really an elevated fine dining restaurant compared to the Charthouse I used to go to in Marina Del Rey, years ago. Our server, Eric, was super friendly and checked in just the right amount. And our server we've had in the past, Barayan, made sure we were doing well. He even remembered our daughter's name, what a special place and person. I ordered the lamb chops and it was perfect -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. My husband got the prime rib and said it was one of the best they've had. We ended the night with dessert and honestly, I'm still thinking about it. If you're looking for a spot for date night, celebrating something, or just want a great dinner with a view -- this is it. Highly recommend! read more

Booked a reservation here for valentines and was excited after looking at the website and seeing there it was a nuce steakhouse with oceanside views. However upon arriving for the 8:45 reservation we had to wait 25 mins for our table after checking in, another 10-15 to be given bread and water, and our server said he was covering for someone else who was on break (which is fine i get it was valentines and they were busy). But we still didn't get our order taken for another 15 mins after that, and when we did get our food the medium rare steak was still far undercooked. On top of all that the whole time we were in a dark spot of the restaurant in between 2 other tables with little to no room. Our server (who came back from break) was a very nice guy and i could tell was doing his best but kept exacerbating he was sorry about everything going on. Im not from the Monterey Area but took my girlfriend out there for Valentines day weekend, suffice to say I would've saved a lot of time and money had i just gone down the street to El Torito and definitely had a better experience. Spent $207 including tip for the Sweetheart Dinner for 2, would've preferred to spend that money elsewhere especially considering coming from out of town for a nice experience. read more

chart house Monterey Bay we ordered: - kimchee calamari - coconut shrimp - sunset beets - not so traditional chicken and waffles - prime rib French dip After the aquarium, we walked across the touristy shops of cannery row to this restaurant at the end of the street. It was quiet, not a lot of customers on the Sunday afternoon. My friend has been here once before and loved it enough to encourage us to visit. There were lots of sea lions swimming by the waterfront. We asked for family style recommendations and the server took our orders promptly. My favorite was the refreshing beet salad, though the ration of beets to pesto to crisp could be improved. Same with the chicken and waffles, only one piece of fried chicken to four quarters of a waffle. And somehow there was a fried egg. Definitely not traditional. The kimchee calamari was packed with creamy salty flavors and dipping the pieces into the coconut sauce of the coconut shrimp was so tasteful, a glorious sweet coating that balanced out the umami. I was stuffed by the end. No space for boba. Would come again. read more

First off, I hate writing bad reviews, but this I can't let go. I was extremely disappointed. My husband and I decided to come here after visiting a Chart House near Alexandria for our anniversary. We had a lovely time then, so why not experience that magic again? I was sorely mistaken and will not be returning. Food wasn't good, and the service was even worse. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and indicated so on the reservation. The place was quite busy for a Monday evening. We were seated away from the windows, which wasn't ideal but it was fine. We're sitting for a while before our server finally comes up and says "We're really busy tonight, I'll be with you when I can", and rushes off. No "how are you this evening?" or "are we celebrating tonight? Happy birthday!". Just a hey, I'm busy. When he comes back he rushes us for our order, which I guess was fine because we were sitting there for so long anyway, but still doesn't feel good to be rushed. We put our order in of a filet mignon for my husband and a NY strip for me, along with two cocktails. I have an allergy to alliums (onions and garlic), so I had to order asparagus instead of the garlic mashed potatoes. When I ask about this substitution, our server says "yeah the kitchen can just grill the asparagus or something. Won't be as good". Another reminder how my allergy denies me good food, thanks for that. We wait for what seemed like an eternity for our food. When it finally arrived, they didn't provide me with a knife. I sat for over 10 minutes staring at my food while we desperately tried to get anyone's attention. Our server finally comes over when we motion towards him and ask for the cutlery, and then tells me, "there's your steak. We normally put all the butter and good stuff on it, but yours is plain." And laughs and walks away. Once again I feel shame for having an allergy. And speaking of plain, yeah, that's exactly how my food was. There wasn't any seasoning on the steak or the asparagus. I know you can't put garlic on it, but you could've put regular butter or at least some salt! It was also cold by the time I had gotten my knife. :( Last hope was dessert. We ordered the lava cake when we ordered our meal, so we were thinking it wouldn't be too bad of a wait, but again, we were sitting with nothing. The table next to ours ordered a lava cake after their meal, and still received it before us! When we got the cake we were also given our check. No "sorry about the wait times" or "thank you for celebrating with us". Nothing. Just put it on the table with our dessert and said "whenever you're ready". We paid a pretty penny for a nice dinner for my husband, and it was anything but nice. I am so saddened and disappointed by our experience. We were an afterthought, and it clearly showed. So do not come here if you have any food intolerances, they'll just make you feel bad for having them, and if you want even the most basic hospitality, this is not the place. read more
