Came in to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and had a really good time. The vibe was nice, everything felt smooth, and the service was on point. We started with the crab cakes... super good, great flavor and cooked just right. He had the salmon and I had the snapper, and both were really well done. Everything tasted fresh and came out perfect. Shoutout to Byron for taking care of us and making sure everything went smoothly... it definitely made the night even better. Will definitely be back! read more

Wife didn't want to cook for Easter, so (after much searching), we decided on the Chart House. The Easter Sunday drive was smooth, and a 2:30 reservation was the perfect time. We were hungry, but not starving. It lasted the whole day. We started with the salads (both of good proportions). My wife had the Caesar, and was happy with it. I had the Chopped salad. The lettuce felt soggy, but the carrots & radishes added texture. It tasted good. The NY Strip was the best I have ever tasted. I usually order mushrooms on my steak,m and this one came with them. The steak had the perfect balance between tenderness and texture to taste and feel just right. I haven't had a steak this good in a long time. My wife was very impressed with the Sea Bass and loved it. The water was very attentive through the main course. As my wife usually eats have the main course, and boxes the rest, it appears the waiter may have waited (in vain) for my wife to finish her Maine course before bringing our desserts. I had the cheesecakes, which arrived when I was at the bathroom. It was good (as cheesecake usually is). My wife had the Key-Lime pie, which was the same. One of the things that sets the Chart House apart from other places is the view. It is on the river front with a great view of Montgomery Inn. The 1 price Easter menu was exceptional., read more

I have come here before for the WEBN fireworks and have always had a good experience. My mom and I decided to come here for restaurant week and it was fantastic. Our view of the river, our server Tara was great and the food was delicious. We paid extra to get the Kim Chee calamari and it was well worth it! So much flavor, crunch and a little bit of spice. The crab stuffed salmon with potatoes and asparagus was great. The butter lemon sauce on the salmon was so flavorful and we both really enjoyed it. By the time we got to dessert I was full but it was pretty good too. read more

We came to have a nice dinner. The server could use some training. we had to ask 3 times to get more bread. There were 3 of use and 2 ordered cocktail and the other Tea, the cocktails came but even after dinner the tea never came. The Prime Rib was excellent. This was in the evening, and it was hot in there after dinner the collar of my shirt was wet. The waitress said they were fighting this all summer. We you got up front it was nice and cool. So, if you plan on eating here expect to be hot. I believe this will be the last time we will go there. read more

My husband surprised me by making reservations at The Chart House for our 1st Anniversary. It was our first time there, he ordered the Seabass and I had the prime rib. When we were seated, the menu had 'Happy Anniversary' on it and the manager came over to say Hello. Our server was Mary, she made sure we had the best experience by far. We had the perfect table at sunset looking over the river onto the Cincinnati skyline. Mary had vast knowledge of the menu. After dinner, she suggested the Chocolate lava cake for dessert and oh my, how delicious. We will definitely make this our yearly anniversary celebration and asking for Mary everytime! Thank you! read more

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. The views from the window were breathtaking. read more

First, the ambiance of Chart House is unmatched. It was a cold evening and the restaurant was warm, cozy, and full of delicious smells. 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. read more

Monday 14th anniversary dinner, no plans really decided to try this spot for once..... view of the city was really nice, unfortunately you kinda pay for it in the price of the food, lobster bisque was ok, probably won't get it again if I return, steak n lobster, was good but sent steak back cuz I ordered med and it was near rare, it came back a few min later and still wasn't med, I ate some but took it home to recook the next day, wife liked her snapper.... But if you take anything from reading this, do not get the crème brûlée taster, it was not good, neither of us liked it.... All in all, I expect more from a place like this, not just a pretty view read more

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, the river view was amazing, and plenty of things to browse just outside the restaurant, too. read more

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. The vibe is chill but classy, the service was fast and friendly and it was the perfect level of busy. Also, bonus points for the sizable free customer parking lot right on the river. read more

Very disappointed with the Sous Vide Roasted Chicken. It was overcooked and dry. I couldn't even eat a third of the chicken. The Complimentary Bread + Butter was hard like it had been warmed several times. I didn't expect that! 45$ down the drain! It was a delivery. read more

Getting it right starts with great food. The Seabass with lobster risotto was a great choice. It was cooked well and of course this place has all the views. Definitely grateful for dinner date. I would not recommend the bar cause you can't take in all the beautiful scenery of the Cincinnati skyline. Service was good. The cocktail sort of fell flat however, most people aren't here for the drink. But at the price point, you want everything to be amazing. However, our house is not a bad choice by any means. read more

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! read more

Chart House - Seafood Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

This restaurant in Newport right on the Ohio River has a great view of the Queen City. Almost every table in there you can see the Cincinnati Skyline. They greet you with warm bread for the table to start. We went for Cincinnati Restaurant week and the coconut shrimp were perfectly crisp and the sweet chili sauce paired perfectly with it. The clam chowder and Caesar salad were both great starters before our entrees. The crab stuffed shrimp were good, but the lemon pasta paired with it was drowning in oil and butter. After a few bites of the pasta it felt very greasy. My boyfriend got the salmon and shrimp with rice and said they were both cooked well. We finished off our meal with their key lime pie and cheesecake. They both were tasty and just what we needed to finish off our meals. read more

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. read more

Excellent! The Chart House is always amazing. From the greeting at the door to departure everything was as expected... great. We had a table with a great view of the river. Our waiter Tres'Y was very friendly, professional and patient. He provided menu clarification and was there when needed, not intrusive. The food was elegantly plated and delicious, the lobster bisque was delicious and flavorful, the crab cake outstanding and the crab stuffed cod excellent. Excellent evening... We will definitely be back... read more

On Thursday, July 10 six of us went to the Chart House sat in the bar for happy hour menu and drinks. Our waitress Lenise,could have been the most informative, friendliest, and efficient waitress I've ever had. Good luck, trying to hold onto her.. Thx Lenise read more

Good food and good service. Decor is a little dated but the awesome river view makes up for this.

We sat in the bar area and service was good. I had a wonderful martini however the appetizers were only ok. The chicken lettuce wraps were absolutely terrible - no flavor and really couldn't eat them. Everything else we ordered was ok. $100 for happy hour for two of us. read more

Won't go back. Second time we had a bad experience. I ordered the Sea Bass which was tiny and WAY past its prime (fishy tasting). I couldn't eat it. My husband ordered the Halibut which was also past its prime but he chocked down as much as he could tolerate. Halibut is supposed to be a thick flakey filet. It was thin and the consistency of swordfish. My husband grew up in Southern California and knows his fish. We arrived at 5:15 and were told everything was booked, even the outside tables. When we left at 7:15, only two tables outside were occupied. We had come from Summer Fair so we were not dressed up but not in blue jeans either. read more

The only reason I'm giving one star is because of the amazing bartender who served us. My sister and I had Thanksgiving dinner at the bar. It was a set menu. The Caesar salad was the worst salad I have ever had. It was mushy and unpleasant. My sister's salad was the same. My sister ordered steak, and I ordered lobster. My sister's steak was so salty that neither of us could eat it. My lobster was okay--a little salty too, but not bad. The vegetables, like the salad, were mushy and unpleasant. I know it was a special day, but since this is a chain restaurant, I expected more from the Chart House. Every other time I've been there, it has been excellent. And again, the bartender was fantastic and exceptional. read more

Arrived at 430pm. Was greeted upon arrival. I sat near the bar. The servers were nice but very unorganized because I had a few different ones helping me. The appetizer-fire cracker shrimp was good. I would eat again. The pomegranate martini was okay. My New York strip steak was cooked medium as asked. The steak was exquisite. The mashed potatoes were very bland but filling. It didnt take long for plates and cups to be removed after I was done. A negative for me was when a regular or big group came in I was forgotten about for 30min. I needed my check at the time. The bathroom was clean. One of the servers I had boxed my food for me. It was a good experience with some errors. A regular from the bar asked me to come back. I will see. read more

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. read more

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. To our surprise, the restaurant was beautiful inside, the view was fantastic and the food was superb. 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!!!!! read more

The Chart House isn't what it once was. We've gone there occasionally since 1990. On this visit: no more valet parking. Long waits for our glasses of wine (no wine available by the bottle) after being seated, and again during our meal. $18 servings of white wine not properly chilled (or maybe because it was transferred to a warm decanter first). $330 tab (including a $50 tip) for two. Not a good experience or a good value. We love fine dining, and we're happy to pay for excellent food and service. We'll not be back. read more

Had dinner here during Cincinnati Restaurant Week. Amazing clam chowder. Salmon and shrimp were delicious. Key lime pie was the topper for me while he had Ny medallions and cheesecake. Service was ok, we sat outside and I think we were forgotten at first. We also didn't get a serving of bread before our meal, not sure why. View of river and downtown Cincy is beautiful! read more

Went there for a birthday dinner. The ambiance is nice. Not too dark when the evening wore on. The experience reminds me of casual but fine dining in Paris. Paced meals to allow time to savor, unwind and talk with friends. I had the lobster and shrimp carbonara. Delicious!! Beautiful view of Cincinnati. On-site parking. Nice servers. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Time for an update...it's been awhile. I was reminded of this last night at a Yelp event where they asked us to do a thankful Thursday for a favorite business and I wrote to Chart House. It's like an old friend that you're comfortable with (at least for me). If my refrig is empty, no problem. Close enough to walk. Actually it would be laughable for me to drive down! And that's good, cause on those times I throw caution to the winds and have that one drink over my self imposed limit, I can!!! Tina (aka Lisa ... lol) always takes good care of me at the bar. I love to sit at the bar...but sometimes it's full cause they have a killer happy hour. But if that happens I just find a table. Their happy hour always has a great turn out. And I love moving around the menu. Still have to try the new Brie appetizer. Menu changes with seasons. And I meet the best people here! There's one woman who comes every Thursday and we have great talks. Met another great friend here, but she moved back to New York and that made me sad. And that's all I'm gonna say for now... The view is one of the best in town because it's right on the river. In warmer weather you can even sit outside. And it's great for groups...I've brought several here in the time I've been in the area. Hope you've had the chance to visit here. If not, you need to make that happen. Soon. And I'll be at the bar. read more

We traveled from Cleveland to pick up our Cincinnati first year college student. We were coming off the road the night before and traveled across the bridge to this wonderful restaurant.

Will definitely be coming back. read more

I had never been to a Chart House, so I wanted to check one out. This one is situated right in the Ohio River with a great view of downtown Cincinnati. We had a 7:30 reservation, arrived on time and were asked to wait 10 minutes for our table. When we were sat, we got a cramped table right i top of other tables when a two top right on the window was open, and remained open our entire meal. Our server was great, but he was hampered by a bar that was too slow. Our appetizer arrived before our drinks. The food was ok, not great. My swordfish was small, only came with a garlic mash. I needed to stop at Frisch's later in the night because I was still hungry. The macadamia nut crusted mahi was pretty good. All in all, it was an ok experience, i would not go back though. read more

It was the end of happy hour and I was a single so my wait for service was a tad longer than expected. When I was finally served, it was excellent and efficient. Now the restaurant was full, on a Wednesday night, in Kentucky. I think that speaks volumes. The shrimp beignets were absolutely delicious, the martini was perfect. I also ordered a small lobster bisque but it was so delicious I wish I had ordered the large. It was full of lobster chunks, yum! The view of Cincinnati was a bonus. It was all lit up for Christmas. I highly recommend. read more

Went tonight on a Monday night and from start to finish it was a bad experience. Started with standing at hostess station just to have hostess come back and tell me to hold while she took call in orders. Finally sat at table to wait 10 min for water or a drink. Ordered good at sat. 35 min no appetizer they brought my husband his salad after 20 min and when we asked where crab cake was we were told it was on way and the kitchen was backed up from happy hour. So crab cake came was cold the tomatoes and corn was cold not 2 min after we got crab cake food comes to table so now my entree sits getting cold while i eat the crab cake which was ok bc the fish i ordered was so dry and over cooked i ate it bc i want to go home and i don't have patience to wait for another one. But based on all the customers looking around for waiters or food I'm not the only one unsatisfied today. read more

Even with very few guests in the restaurant, we sat waiting and waiting to be served our main courses. They brought out one person's food at our table, and we waited twelve minutes until the other food was served. Creamed spinach was room temperature and runny. They were out of prime ribs and strip steaks for the evening, and the filet mignon (ordered medium rare) was the driest and toughest "filet mignon" I have ever been served. The floor manager had absolutely no response to any of the concerns brought to his attention. Too many really good restaurants in Cincinnati to waste your money at this one. One positive note... the chocolate lava cake was great. read more

Not sure how this is considered fine dining. Experience was disappointing from service to food. Server waiting until we had to flag him down (and a few people got up to get a drink at the bar) before taking drink and appetizer orders. Appetizers didn't come out all together, and we had to flag him down again to see where one was. Food was kinda gross... everything was sooo dried out and chewy... even for the restaurant being 1/4 full and waiting about 60 minutes for our entrees. Needless to say we won't be returning. read more
