    Early bird special prime rib
    Blake C.

    Dropped into chart house before flying out of Cincinnati. Early bird special was great value. Prime rib is delicious. Creme Brulee dessert was excellent. Service from Tara was awesome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The views from the window were breathtaking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Shrimp linguine
    Liz F.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]First, the ambiance of Chart House is unmatched. It was a cold evening and the restaurant was warm, cozy, and full of delicious smells.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The breadbasket was a great way to start and was very good. We also had a crab cake, which was very tasty, but the presentation wasn't my favorite. It said roasted corn, but the corn was sort of sprinkled around the plate, and there were a lot of tomatoes. I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but luckily I could eat the crab cake around them. For dinner, my husband had the filet mignon and mashed potatoes. The filet was perfect, though he seemed surprised by the sauce. It was good, but he normally doesn't like a sauce on his steak. The mashed potatoes had a nice flavor, but had huge chunks of unmashed and unflavored potato. I had really been looking forward to mashed potatoes, and I was disappointed in them. I ordered the shrimp linguine and was surprised by the dish I received. The shrimp were large but somewhat flavorless. The linguine was topped with feta and fried porcini. I must have missed the description on the menu, but I didn't enjoy the flavor. There were peas, which was fine, but they were so overcooked they had fallen apart, in addition to largely and roughly chopped herbs, which made me also not enjoy the texture of the dish. Our dessert was the mini chocolate lava cake, which was very good, and the mini was well-sized with a giant ice cream scoop and plenty for two people to share. Our server was so kind and understanding of me not enjoying my meal. I've never sent a dish back before and I was grateful she was so supportive of me having a great dining experience. We will give Chart House another try because of the atmosphere and excellent service.

    Very accommodating! We had a party of 14 that was well served and tended to properly in a timely manner, a feat for any establishment! The food was great, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the river view was amazing,[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]plenty of things to browse just outside the restaurant, too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We hit up Chart House in Newport for a quick happy hour--great drinks and apps at solid prices. But heads up, you have to sit at the bar to get the happy hour specials. Also be sure to check the HH times because they do vary by location - the Newport location ended at 7. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is chill but classy,[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the service was fast and friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was the perfect level of busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, bonus points for the sizable free customer parking lot right on the river.

    Was seated with a large party of 15 for a work dinner. Service was very slow for drinks, as there was one bartender for the entire dinner service. Food was slow to come out, but with a large party is to be expected. Quality of food was exceptional. Deserts very decedent and rich. Oysters fresh!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service is amazing and the ambiance is hard to beat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The calamari is some of the best I've ever had even compared to Florida & Mexico restaurants. I got the cod with lobster risotto and I haven't stopped thinking about it since!

    Herb crusted salmon
    Eileen B.

    First of all the happy hour is insane. Great prices lots of food. Nothing over 12 dollars. Sunday through Friday We ordered from the dinner menu. New York strip for hubby. Herb crusted salmon is delicious. Their mashed potatoes garlicky and yummy. The pomegranate martini is the bomb We sat at the bar and the service was impressive and friendly. And of course the view is top notch.

    View from inside the Chart House in Newport KY on Riverboat Row!

    Wow! What a very pleasant surprise. We arrived in the evening at the Fairfield inn directly Across the street from the chart house. It's a 30 second Walk! We were hungry having traveled several hours by airplane and we would have been happy with anything decent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To our surprise, the restaurant was beautiful inside, the view was fantastic and the food was superb.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We thought about trying a different restaurant the following night but the Chart House was just too nice to not visit again. I can't say enough about this amazing gem. It was one the most unexpected pleasant part of our visit to Cincinnati. 5 Stars without a doubt! Thank you!!!!!

    Totally forgot about Chart House as an option for seafood in Cincinnati. Reading the reviews and looking over the menu made my decision to give it a try. We arrived early evening on a Saturday. We had our choice of tables and of course chose to sit facing the riverfront. The service was friendly and attending. The manager even stopped by our table mid meal to check on things. Overall the restaurant was clean and offered great ambiance with the view of the river and passing boats. The wine list was fair with inflated prices. With that, I chose to stick with beer. We tried the oysters as a starter. They were chilled and served fresh and absolutely delicious! Probably my favorite part of the meal. The entrees were good and came out as ordered. I had the seared ahi tuna. I had it medium rare and now wished I had it prepared rare. It was still delicious. Overall we were pleased with the food and dining experience and I recommend it to try for yourself.

    Came here during restaurant week just to try the restaurant and can say I will be back!…read more I ordered the Ceaser salad with the short rib empanada and short rib gnocchi. The Ceaser salad was the best Ceaser salad I ever had! The short rib empanada and the gnocchi was good as well but the gnocchi was covered in scallions. That wasn't stated on the menu or by our server when I asked if onions were in the dish, so unfortunately I did have to send that back and have it remade then ate the rest once I got back home. I also tried the Black Angus NY and it melt in my mouth like butter. They were busy and it did take a while for the food to come out but the wait was worth it.

    Wow! What a way to spend our 1 year wedding anniversary! I loved this place…read more It has been a few months since eating here but I still find myself thinking about it. Our next trip to Cincinnati; It will be extremely difficult to stay away from here. We spent the day in Newport and around Cincinnati and wanted somewhere nice for the occasion. I was iffy on this place at first... you can throw a rock all over America and hit a place with 'Barrel' in the name these days. The Yelp reviews swing both ways here but I'm here to tell you my take... because it swings so far towards the 5 stars that it's very much a 6 or 7 star place(maybe more). We gauged our arrival time based on other activities that day. We wanted ample time at the nearby Lego exhibit so when we arrived there, we made a reservation for 4:30-5. Eating early and making our way back to Louisville was a great idea. The entire time we were there, no one else came in so we had the entire place to ourselves(It was a Friday). The atmosphere is homey but during busy times, I could see it being noisy. The booths could easily fit 6 people comfortably... probably 8 in some cases depending on how wide some of you are. Special Note: This place highlights The Parrillada Experience for Two on their menu and we wanted it! We didn't order it because at a price tag of 130-and pictures online, we didn't want it to be a failed outing. After our first trip, The Parrillada Exp will be on the agenda next time. It's a mixture of different steaks, sausages, shrimp, sides, and salads. Definitely worth the cost. On to the food: Sausage App - Argentine Chorizo. Farmhouse Sausage. Grilled Ciabatta. Hearts of Palm. Green/Red chimichurri. Pepper Relish. I don't like ordering this type of dish when I go places because you never know if it's going to be delicious or very bad. It ended up being super delicious. We couldn't make up our mind which sauce we liked the best and which meat we liked the best. App PERFECTION! Land and Sea - This is what my wife went with. Asada Skirt Steak. Jumbo Shrimp. Asparagus. Red chimichurri butter. I had bites of the shrimp and it was good. I had to save room for my dish. Wagyu Denver Cut - I went back and forth. Lobster ravioli being on the menu almost made my decision instant but I was going back and forth between ravioli, steak, and a few other things. I asked the server which he recommended of the 4 Chef's cuts. He recommended two... one of which was the Wagyu so I went with it. I wasn't disappointed AT ALL. He mentioned that the Wagyu Denver Cut was a new addition to the menu... I'm not sure but you could definitely tell it was cooked, arranged, and presented with care. I savored every angle of every bite. We also ordered a side of brussels because of course! Originally we were going to dessert somewhere else but went ahead and ordered the Hazelnut Vanilla Creme Brulee here. Perfect ending to the meal. This brulee was light and had the right amount of crunch. It was also larger than expected. We had no complaints with this place. Easily one of the better restaurants I've had in Cincinnati. If you're doubting visiting this place, take the dive! Other notes: They have beer and a small cocktail variety but they primarily seem focused on wine(plenty of options to choose from).

Both were friendly & acknowledged the birthday girl in our party. Atmosphere is great. You could comfortably walk in wearing jeans or come dressed up. Neither would be over or under dressed. The menu has juuuust the right amount of options, which is great! Heather was our waitress & while she was kind, her service skills were lacking. Granted we weren't at a Michelin Star Restaurant, but we also weren't at a dive bar. There was an endless amount of awkward reaching through, over & around when refilling drinks. There were a couple of instances where she actually touched our shoulders to nudge us to the side so she could reach through. Totally not okay during service at a restaurant nicer than a dive bar. We ordered the cheese sticks starter which were so yummy! Highly recommend! A couple of us ordered the Cesar side salad & were highly disappointed. The dressing tasted like it was mayonnaise heavy & then watered down by lettuce that wasn't dried after being rinsed. Even adding tons of extra pepper didn't help. The lettuce also tasted like it has been too wet for too long. The lobster mac was ordered in the group & it was tasty but soooo greasy. So, order with caution. We had the Black N Bleu salad in the group & that was good. The Atlantic Salmon was another dinner ordered & the crust seasoning was delicious! Sadly, the salmon was a bit overdone. It does come with a lobster cream sauce, which confused me. It was only so so & I definitely skipped it entirely. The steamed broccoli was done to perfection though. Not soggy & not too crunchy. We also had the 12oz ribeye & that was great! Flavorful, cooked perfectly! I will add though, that the steak knives need an upgrade. I really wanted to love this place, but we won't return on our next trip to Newport/Cincinnati.

The dining room was lovely - multiple tiers so just about every dining position has a water view, live music playing. The vibes were excellent. We started with a crab cake appetizer. This was perfect. Big enough for two, the remoulade sauce was delicious! Next we had a Caesar salad that we split. No complaints here, the salad was great. For our main course, my wife chose the Beef Wellington, which is a weekend special. Neither of us had tried this before, and we both thought it was very good. It's served over mashed potatoes, and there is a sauce you pour over it. It's honestly big enough for two, and we brought some home for lunch the next day.

Unfortunately, the food and overall dining experience fell short. We were seated near the kitchen, and the conversations coming from staff were extremely loud throughout the evening. Our server was kind, but she seemed unfamiliar with the menu. She even agreed that the $23 crab cake appetizer was overpriced and appeared to be missing a crab cake. The crab cake itself was extremely salty and fried so hard that it left an unpleasant aftertaste. Later, the server brought out a second crab cake, which we assumed was the missing portion, but we were then charged an additional $16 for it. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was just okay at best. My steak was cooked correctly internally, but the outside was overly charred to the point that it affected the flavor. The broccolini was burnt and extremely salty, so we sent it back immediately. The potatoes were also overly salty, watery, and lacked the onion flavor described on the menu. Overall, the menu descriptions simply did not match the dishes that were brought to our table. I will say the espresso martini was honestly the best part of the evening. Also, the evening manager, whose name I believe was Kensley, did bring out a butter cake as an apology, which was appreciated. For a birthday celebration and the prices charged, the experience was disappointing overall.

Overall i think the restaurant is a 4/5, but my service experience brought it down a star.
