Visited with my family recently. The building is under construction, so the tower was not on rotation. I wish we would have known that to make a better informed decision. I am glad they're renovating the place, though. We did not have a reservation prior, and they were able to accommodate our party of 4 for lunch. Our server seated us and took our order promptly. My little shared the tenders and shrimp plate, because the coat of each child's play is $14 and I knew they wouldn't eat it all. It was 2 tenders and 2 coconut shrimp. We opted for the sweet potato fries for $1 more. The portion could have been larger. It was a scant handful of fries. My husband and I shared the burrata appetizer. The dish was very tasty, but the tomato's were very soft and turned to mush quickly. The arugula was a nice touch but some was yellowing on top and there was an old wilted/dark green/slimy piece, but it was small enough to push over. I was just surprised to see that on our dish considering the cost of the dish. My husband had the Cobb salad for lunch. His salad looked nice and tasty. We were surprised to see the avocado was brown in a few places. I had the lobster shrimp roll with sweet potato fries. There was lots of lobster claw meat and shrimp. For $27, I didn't expect to see so much claw meat. The fries were the same scant handful of sweet potato fries. It would have been nice to see a more full pile of fries in both our dishes. Overall it was a good experience and the service was good. My kiddos love visiting and we will be back because of the experience of getting to look over San Antonio. read more

The food was above average for sure, but I don't think it matches the price point. What you are paying for is absolutely the views. I was told the drinks were good, especially the mojito flight. This is where the positives stop. We sat at our table for over an hour waiting for our appetizers to arrive. I never would've thought that it would take over an hour for appetizers to arrive in a half full upscale restaurant at lunchtime. So disappointed. The restaurant had definitely aged and needs a touchup. While definitely upscale, it has tiles peeling off the walls, old carpeting, and chipped wood finishes. read more

Chart House - Prime Rib French Dip - Seafood Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Should have been a hint as to what come. Checked in down stairs and told we would be notified. 30 minutes passed and we checked as the status. Told we were texted a while ago, never received the text. Waited in line for the elevator, got our turn and told they didn't have room due our party of three. Then proceeded to allow another party of three from the other door opening. When asked as to why informed that they were in line first. If so why ask us. We got the Oyster Rockefeller, flavor was good however were the smallest oysters I've encountered. Shell was not much larger than a 50 cent piece. Got the Lobster bisque it was warm but not hot. Would have liked it better hot. Got the Salmon which was some of the best that I've had. Would say excellent. Got Chocolate lava cake for desert this was also wonderful. Our server was good, but had a difficult time hearing her. read more

Obviously the view was stunning! We found this to be more of an experience than quality dining. The over all ambiance was lacking due to the large groups and noise level, possibly due to poor design acoustics. The food was adequate (we both had the prime rib) and unfortunately their cocktail menu was hard to navigate as many of the liquors needed were not in stock. Although the food was average at best, the service was excellent. Our waiter, David, made the experience enjoyable and not just an over priced tourist experience. It was joy to meet such a nice young gentleman. read more

I've been to multiple Chart House's. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had. Seated at 7:45. Ordered the set menu and a calamari and drink. 30 minutes later the calamari came out, followed by our drinks 10 minutes later. Our soup came out cold, then The new bowl they poured it into and it was still cold. 8:55 we finally got our course. No refills on water, bones in my friends fish, cold again, no salt like we asked. And my steak was blue. Not medium rare.Then in an attempt to rush us out they gave us dessert with no cutlery. They box their food in top of dirty dishes and will drop it in another plate and still box it, the vine would be better with good food and if they actually got around to take your order. Savannah the manager made us wait 20 minutes to say "sorry this isn't what you expected" BEWARE read more

I mean you come here for the view and the ambiance. The food is pretty high quality when it comes to fish, king crab, sides, salads, etc. Pretty much anything you have will be fulfilling. The service used to be wonderful years ago. It seems to be going downhill, lots more younger people working here that don't exactly carry the same old school hospitality the Chart House used to have and needs. read more

Absolutely unforgettable! The chef james Smith is a true genius, the food was simply unmatched. The restaurant itself is spectacular, with breathtaking views of San Antonio that make the entire experience even more special. And Kyus was phenomenal! His exceptional service, warmth, professionalism, and the way he helped make our special moment even more memorable truly deserve to be recognized. We would honestly come back to San Antonio just to visit Chart House again, for the incredible food, the view, and this amazing dining experience. 100/10. Thank you for an unforgettable evening! read more

We visited Chart House primarily for the views, and the appetizers really set a strong tone for the meal. We had the tomato and burrata, which was phenomenal--my parents' first time trying burrata, and they couldn't stop talking about how much they loved it. The tomato preparation was incredibly flavorful and well executed. The kimchi calamari is also something my husband and I always order. While I'd describe the flavor more as a sriracha/gochujang-style profile than traditional kimchi, it's still very tasty. The crispness was light, airy, and perfectly done. Unfortunately, the experience changed with the entrées. The price for the entrées was not worth it considering the quality we received. It felt like the kitchen was overwhelmed, and the mains had likely been held under a heat lamp too long. There was no glisten on any of the proteins, and everything arrived dry and overcooked rather than fresh. The mahi, in particular, was very dry and stringy with a texture closer to fish jerky than a properly cooked filet. The lobster risotto fell short. It still resembled rice, but had formed into a solid mass rather than anything creamy or cohesive. The lobster component lacked depth of flavor, and the sauce appeared broken and uneven. Timing was another issue--we essentially made a full roundabout of the tower between appetizers and entrées arriving, adding to the sense that the kitchen was struggling to keep pace. Overall, excellent service from Justin and strong appetizers, but the entrées did not justify the price point that night. read more

Beautiful view. Very good service and attentive wait staff. We did the truffle fries as an appetizer. I had the cedar plank salmon which was good. The roasted vegetables were a little dry but I was able to get some melted butter. My husband had the half roasted chicken dish which came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. He gave it a mediocre rating. All in all we enjoyed the visit. I recommend trying Chart House if you have never been. read more

This place was delicious! From start to finish! I was visiting for a business conference and decided to try dinner here. I had already been up to the tower and did not know it was a revolving restaurant Z so that was pretty good! I had the Burrata, heirloom tomatoes, oh my gosh this was so good! Next I ordered the shellfish linguine. Shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops and half a lobster. Again beautiful! Followed by some of the most lovely cream brûlée. Staffed by lovely people! Would return! Thank you. read more

The food was great ! I was not expecting the plates of the appetizers to be so much! Ordered three appetizers and all were tasty and fresh ! The dinner plates were good as well but I do feel for what we ordered it was overpriced. Service was good but needs a little bit of more effort when it comes to making sure everything is good- The view is breathtaking and to be able to see the whole San Antonio before sun set is perfection- I do recommend, but choose wisely and make sure to read other reviews to make sure your pickings are the right ones. read more

I made reservations for Friday at 7:30PM. I requested a table for two near the window--my request was honored! We ordered the Seafood Tower, Kim Chee Calamari, and the Bone Marrow Beef Tartare. Everything was delicious. I can't remember the name of the drink, but it was also amazing, I ordered two of them. Our server was attentive and sweet. Our food came out fairly quickly and was served as fresh as can be. The ambiance is low lighting, so it's very romantic and intimate atmosphere. The views are great, I always enjoy coming for a nice date night or to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Food was excellent. The lobster bisque was one of the best I've had. The shrimp my wife got was slightly overcooked but still had good flavoring and my mahj was done perfectly We both loved the sauces and rice that came with it and the side of cream spinach was also excellent. My wife's cucumber martini sounded real good and didn't disappoint. The service was great although he checked back too often and didn't ask if we've been there before so he could help us. I think he was new. Knocked down 1 star because for the price paid, everything should've been perfect and it wasn't. But still a place to come back to for the view and food. read more

My spouse and I enjoyed our lunch together at the chart house. He was a bit disappointed that drat beer was not available as an option. The Cesar salad, butterfly shrimp and calamari with vegetables were delicious. I enjoyed the slow moving 360 degrees view while eating our meal. I would recommend visiting during lunch time as it was pleasant and prices were alright considering our location. We did have to waited a few minutes for one out of two elevators to transport us back down. I would recommend this as a place to visit. The dress code is not as strict as some are led to believe. Best is smart casual clothes, not revealing or with holes and the rest is acceptable. Go enjoy a nice meal! read more

Thank you Chart House - First Class! read more

First of all, our server did a great job, but it ends there for me. I ordered the herb crusted prime rib, medium rare. The server even mentioned that it would have pink center, which I knew. When it came out it did not look like it had been cooked at all, almost rare. I promise, it was nearly raw. Our server graciously took it back to resolve the problem. Another person brought my plate back and asked for me to cut into it to check the doneness. It was barely pink; I would consider it medium well. By then, I was ready to eat it, so I told her it was fine. However, they did not return prime rib, but a thin ribeye. I gave up and ate it some of it. The side of mashed potatoes were flavorful, but luke warm at the best. The whole thing was very disappointing. Oh, the reason I accepted the ribeye was because I was with another couple. Otherwise, I would have also sent the steak back. The restaurant was a bit chaotic and noisy. Lots of tourists. I suppose the Chart House doesn't enforce the dress code. Lots of men in tee shirts and ball caps. This is a pet peeve of mine. It was like eating in the main dining room of a Carnival Cruise. I won't go back. It was very disappointing. Now, the couple I was with got the flounder and coconut shrimp. They both indicated that it was good. I tasted the flounder and it was OK. read more

Confused by all the low ratings but we had a stellar experience with a Group of 15, on a Monday lunch mind you. Reservations were easy to make online. Came after a graduation at the alamodome and was easy to get there walking distance wise. Our table host Bryan was great! Attentive, patient. Cocktails were on point! Try the Basil yuzu if you're a gin person. Their cocktail fauxjito was also refreshing! Starters try the calamari and mussels! Flavorful. Fish and chips were perfectly battered. Clam chowder and lobster bisque, get a bowl, won't disappoint. They don't rotate the restaurant until evening service. We still had great views of the city! Great price points on food and drinks. Definitely a great spot for date night. Will be back! read more

I would say that this restaurant is definitely more of a tourist attraction. The food was mediocre at best. The shrimp ceviche wasn't bad but it also wasn't great either. It lacked depth and texture. I had the mahi fish for my meal. The fish was a bit dry. The sauce that accompanied it was good but there wasn't enough. The mango sticky rice barely had any mango and it was somewhat bland. The service was alright. It took about an hour and a half to eat the meal and get the check. The best part was the view but unfortunately the restaurant wasn't rotating when I went that day. I probably wouldn't come back there to eat maybe I would grab a drink at the bar if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Great for happy hour - the deals are good and the bar menu is the best option. The apps and fun drink flights are delicious and much more worth it. The entrees are okay here but I don't recommend it. The location and views are the reason to come visit. Service can usually be pretty fast and attentive even on busier nights. read more

Chart House - Seafood Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We had a 7:45 reservation and showed up a little early thinking we'd ease into the night. We've been to Chart House in Dana Point, California, so we already knew the kind of experience this place can offer. This location at Chart House fell extremely short. We check in and right away you're guided into taking photos downstairs. It's part of their setup the minute you arrive. They position you, take the pictures, and then later try to upsell them for $45. It felt very forced and honestly uncomfortable, like you're being walked into a sale before you even sit down. From what we saw, most people weren't even buying them. On top of that, it's $20 just to park, so before you even get to dinner, you're already spending. We're then told to head upstairs to the bar. Long elevator ride up, we sit down and no one acknowledges us. What immediately threw me off was the environment. There's a girl at the bar in ripped shorts, full tattoos, nose piercings, very casual, and the manager, a woman, is standing there with her and her boyfriend just chatting like they're all hanging out. It honestly looked like she was about to sit down and have a drink with them. Meanwhile we're sitting there waiting to even be greeted. For a place that's supposed to feel more upscale, this was not it. We sat there about 10 minutes while the two girls behind the bar were just chit-chatting, talking about their weekend, completely ignoring us. Not even a glance. At that point it felt like we were invisible. Finally a gentleman walks up and says, "Oh, I didn't even see you guys sitting there, what can I get you to drink?" He was the only one who stepped up. The other two couldn't care less and stayed busy talking amongst themselves like they were on a lunch break gossiping. At that point we're already past our reservation time and still no update. We finally ask that same gentleman if he can check on our table. Turns out we were supposed to get a text and never did. We go back downstairs and wait again. We don't get seated until around 8:15, about 30 minutes past our reservation. We order immediately, including drinks. Drinks don't come out until about 8:45 and even then no straws. Another 10 minutes just to get straws. Bread came out late. Everything felt slow and unorganized. We ordered the 30 oz tomahawk, medium, which was $160, along with the lobster risotto and asparagus. The risotto came out looking like a blob of cheese. It didn't resemble risotto at all. It looked like the rice had completely broken down and turned into thick cheesy clumps with pieces of lobster. The consistency was off and honestly confusing, more like mac and cheese than risotto. The asparagus were just mid. The steak itself was also mid. For that price point, you expect quality and you expect it to come out hot. The plates were cold. At a steakhouse you expect that sizzling butter when the steak hits the plate. There was none of that. The butter wasn't even moving. You could tell right away the food wasn't hot. At the beginning of the night they asked if I was part of Landry's, and I remember thinking no, but maybe that would change tonight. As the night went on and everything kept falling short, that thought went out the window. There's no way I would give my money to that group after this experience. If this had been the Dana Point location, I wouldn't even question it. That location is on point from start to finish. This one missed on every level. And honestly, that's on me too. I didn't read the reviews. I kept seeing the tower from our hotel and everywhere we went, and I thought I want to go up there and see what it's about. I saw Chart House was inside and figured we've been to the California locations a few times, it can't be that bad. I was wrong. Between the service, the wait times, the food temperature, the quality, plus parking and the photo upsell, this was not worth what we paid, which was close to $300 for dinner alone. If you come here, come for the view. Maybe grab a drink and appetizers at the bar and keep expectations low. As for a full dining experience, we won't be coming back. read more

The view here is great and we loved the moving floor where you get a 360° view of the city during your meal. We got the ribeye, pork chops, coconut shrimp, and swordfish. The ribeye and pork chops were phenomenal. However, the shrimp and swordfish were just okay. The service was good, so no complaints there. I do expect more from a high end restaurant though. I expect them to have every dish on point with nothing left to be desired after the meal, especially for the price you pay. I would come back here for the pork chops and possibly to try other dishes. read more

I laugh that I lived in San Antonio and never visited but then I leave and return for a visit and I do the tourist thing and visit. We had a large group with us and the restaurant game me a limit of the largest group that I could have and they had our table ready. First off, lets start with arriving. You see the very tall tower and know that you have to get to the very top. You walk in, let the person know you have a reservation, you are guided to the elevator. You wait, and you wait, and you wait but eventually it comes. Then Zoom! Up you go! .... .... ..... ....... ....... ......... and you're still going.... ..... ..... ..... ....... ........ ...and you're still going.... Okay, you get the picture, it's far! It's a fun ride. Then the doors open and you made it. That is fun. The only bummer is when you have a large table, someone has to face away from the view. Well, everyone on one side of the table. It's not the restaurant's fault. That's the way the tables are set up if you want a large part. Fortunately, my husband didn't want to see the spinning view so he was okay with his back to it. The rest figured it out for themselves. The food was great and they had some fun drinks. One of my friends ordered a drink that they made at the table and when she opened it (yes, you have to open it), steam or some sort of smoke came out. It looked like a witches brew. Everyone enjoyed themselves. I would definitely go back. x .. ........ .. ... read more

The Chart House in the Tower of the Americas is an experience. To reach the restaurant, you must first wait in line for the elevator ride to the top. Wait times vary, so get there early. I attended an early business dinner with a preselected menu, but the entire experience from start to finish was five‑star. The service, drinks, salads, steaks, and views were top tier. The stunning daytime and nighttime panoramic views and the elegant atmosphere of the restaurant made it a stellar experience. Highly recommended. read more

I had made a reservation for mid July but they were remodeling and there were delays. We finally got in a few weeks later, but I really wish that we were notified that the spin mechanism was still under construction. I took my granddaughter there for her 12th birthday, we had this planned for a year and the best part was the fact that you could see all around the city and beyond while eating and slowly spinning. So I was pretty disappointed that it wasn't working since that is what she was most looking forward to. Other than that, the food was very good, along with the service. read more

This was our first visit, prompted by the Restaurant Week menu. Overall, the service and food quality did not align with the pricing. We experienced lengthy wait times, cold dishes, and a lack of basic table maintenance such as water refills. Increasing server coverage would significantly improve attentiveness and the overall dining experience. read more

Everything was great! We decided to stop in for lunch and they had super affordable options on the menu. I went with the cedar plank salmon, which was incredibly delicious! The lemon cream sauce was a nice touch and was prepared perfectly. I also ordered a side of mashed potatoes which are always amazing, you must order them when coming here! My date went with the diner burger which was seasoned very well, the skinny fries were also perfectly fried. Our server was Juan, who was great. Juan was prompt, attentive and provided an overall pleasant experience for us. I will surely be back here again! Despite what you may hear about the bad experiences at this place you should try it for yourself. All of the times I've been the atmosphere is calming, service is great and the food is amazing! read more

We were told this was a tourist destination, however being part of the Landry's group we had a certain level of expectation that was certainly not met. Went on a Wednesday when the restaurant was about half full yet the service was so slow. The entire dinner service took two hours. Normally appetizer, couple drinks, entrée and dessert takes all around 1.25-1.5 hours. I received a dirty wine glass, requested a new one. Waitress brought out another dirty glass and requested yet another one. We ordered the largest prime rib, which is their signature item. Parts of it was so salty. It was simply inedible. We ended up not eating half of it. And you could tell the managers are really neglecting this location judging from the overall service and the bathroom. The door handle on the bathroom was broken for some period of time, you could tell by the marks left on the door. Highly recommend avoiding this location. read more

We had dinner here this week after their renovation...things looked the same, I heard the hostess say that it was actually the kitchen that underwent renovation along with updated plates. The carpets still look worn and the interior design could benefit from being updated. Strangely enough, the room wasn't rotating like the previous times I'd been there...not sure if it's a change from the renovation or just a temporary thing. It was a Monday night so maybe it's different than on weekends? We ordered a variety of drinks, apps, entrees, dessert and were unfortunately disappointed. It took over an hour from ordering to receive our food. Reservations were at 6:15 and it wasn't until 7:30 did our entrees arrive. When it did, all the proteins were overcooked. The rare filet and shrimp were both well overcooked despite asking for the filet to be rare. The shrimp was dry and inedible. It was brought to the waiters' attention which prompted a swap. The second filet was cooked just right, but the shrimp again was extremely dry and had a foul freeze burn flavor. The prime rib was ordered for medium rare but came out well. When brought to the waiter's attention, it was replaced but again overcooked...when asked how the restaurant defined their medium rare, it was supposed to be red in center which was not the case both times...at best it was a medium-well...i ended up going without an entree. I was asked if I'd like anything else but everyone was just about done with their room temp food. It had been just about 2 hours since we were seated, so I just wanted to get our dessert and close the tab at that point. The shrimp mango avocado was refreshing...but no where as good as it used to be with the crab/shrimp/mango/avocado. The chocolate lava cake was rich but was not "lava cake"...it was more like a dense flattened brownie with ice cream and sprinkled with chocolate and toffee. The old fashion was strong. Those are the better parts of the meal. Service was good but slow. We weren't checked on until we asked for help...maybe it was just a busy Monday night or perhaps they're still working out their kinks from just opening again. I think Chart House has potential but has fallen behind from where it should be. Looking at my past photos, presentation and taste has gone downhill from where they used to be. I really want them to be better and might give them another try in a few months after they've been open from renovation for longer. read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday early with my husband, he wanted to take me here as an "experience" type gift so we can explore out of our Fair Oaks Ranch/Boerne bubble haha! Don't get me wrong, we get out of the bubble pretty often but we don't go to the downtown area a whole lot since it can be chaotic with traffic and people. As we got to the area (btw, this is the same weekend of the SA Marathon weekend so great timing haha), you can see the tall skyscraper aka the restaurant/space! We got there a little bit early before our reservation time, so they gave us the option for us to wait in the bar area until our table was ready or wait on the main floor, we opted to wait in the bar so that we can get a sneakpeak on the views. They first take the intro photos with the background of the skyscraper (green screen type thing) before you head on up. Then we are off, the bar/lounge area is on the second to top floor of the tower, below the bar is the restaurant area. We probably spent about 15-25 mins before we got a text saying that our table was ready. Drinks while we were waiting, hubby got a beer and I wanted to try one of their concoctions, I opted for their "Butterfly Effect" which is basically Casamigos Blanco Tequila, Combier Orange Liqueur, butterfly pea flower brew. It was basically like a mini show itself from the bartender! She was really nice and great at explaining what was going in the drink itself! It was also really tasty! Added bonus! Once we got seated to our table area, we actually got a corner table area, looked a little confined at first, but it wasn't too bad! I had to try and remember to not put my arm on the side since the wall was moving (slowly). The view is definitely nice! It rotates 360 degrees in a slow pace. Our server Vivian, who was on it and very nice! Helped with some suggestions on what to order. She was also prompt! Definitely enjoyed her! We got their: Coconut Crunchy Shrimp - it was good, but not outstanding and for 5 pieces of average sized shrimp for the price, not sure about it being worth it. Parmesan Crusted Chicken - came with mashed potatoes and capers: my husband's meal, which he thought was good. I didn't have any so I can't say on my end on how it tasted. Lobster + Shrimp Roll: I thought it was good! Lots of chunks of meat mixed with their mayo sauce dressing and some chopped celery as well. Also came with side of fries (it wasn't a lot of fries, maybe a cup of it at most?) Lava cake: we got lucky and someone didn't want it so we were able to get it quicker than 30 mins! Unfortunately, it only came slightly warm, not hot, the ice cream didn't even melt and when I tried to pierce into the middle, there wasn't much of this "lava" from this cake. It was ok to me. I did a candle to help me celebrate my birthday. For a "elevated" food experience I guess I was expecting a little more, but overall it was ok. For the view itself was already a nice touch. Servers/bartenders were great, friendly, and attentive! Parking: $20 self served for that area. read more

The WORST dining experience that I have ever had at a Landry's Select Club location! For starters, Apple navigation led us to the back of the parking lot where all of the gates were locked. There was no clear signage on how to access the correct parking and the entrance door to the tower. I called the Chart House number 3 times, and went through all of the automated selections; I failed to reach someone at each number! How is someone supposed to receive customer service if no one answers!? After finally figuring out how to access the parking lot, we were charged $20 to park. Why on earth would parking not be complimentary for guests of the restaurant!? Upon entering the Tower, we were told that we would not be able to have the window seats that we requested when we made the reservation. There were several elevators to reach the Chart House restaurant, at the top of the tower. Only one of which was working. We had to wait an extended period in line, to board the elevator. The air conditioner in the building was either not functioning well, or not on at all, because it was hot and uncomfortable. The elevator car was packed to full capacity, and we were standing on top of the other dining guests that they packed into the car. Once at the top, we had another lengthy wait, for a hostess to seat us. We finally arrived at our table around 7:30pm, which again was not the table setting as requested. Our dining party ordered waters and cocktails. After about 20 minutes, our cocktails finally arrived to the table. Quite possibly could have been the longest wait I have ever had for a drink order. We attempted to order the most costly appetizer on their menu, the Seafood Tower. The waiter took the order, and later came back to the table to inform us that the Seafood Tower was only available on weekends....we were there on a Thursday night. There was no notation or information on the menu for us to be aware of this. Furthermore, why offer something on your menu if it is not readily available!? We instead had to settle for another mid-grade appetizer. An attendant, not our waiter, arrived with our appetizer after some time. No small plates or silverware were provided. We had also ordered lobster bisque that came later. It arrived with no spoons. We had to wait about 15 minutes for spoons to show up! Our dinner entrees did not arrive until 9:07pm. Over an hour and a half of waiting! I ordered a filet steak medium rare. My steak was cooked medium well. I also had a lobster tail that was so overcooked, I was unable to eat it. My father ordered the halibut which was also gravely overcooked. My mother had the chicken which was flavorless. My wife had a bowl of lobster bisque, which was decent, except for having to wait again for a spoon. The chefs were unable to make a basic grilled cheese for my one year old son. Laughable! We made the mistake of ordering desserts; the lava cakes that the Chart House is "known for", according to our waiter. We were informed when we placed our entire orders that it would take approximately 30 minutes to bake the cakes "fresh"; so we went ahead and put the orders in. It took 57 minutes for them to arrive with our desserts! At this point we were COMPLETELY over the disgrace of the Chart House! We requested our desserts to be boxed up, and our ticket to be brought so we could pay and get the heck out of this horrible establishment!! By the way, their "special" lava cake was terrible, and easily bested by a Molten Chocolate Cake from Chili's that takes all of 10 minutes for the kitchen to prepare!! Upon trying to leave, we again had to wait in the line for the single operable elevator. We were stuffed in like sardines, again for our decent. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! WE WILL NEVER RETURN! And I question how many more Landry's Select Club locations are being run with such poor quality!! read more

First date night of 2026! Got a baby sitter and everything. Show up to a long line to check in...then a looooooong wait for the elevator and then while we came here and see the views of San Antonio only to hear the restaurant doesn't spin during construction. Oh well...went for happy hour, only to find out no happy hour food on the weekends...oh well. The first course was the fondue - and it was great. Very creamy with a decent amount of shrimp. Even my wife liked it. We did catch an AMAZING moon rise which probably made up for the not spinning restaurant. Then the bread service was great - 3 different kinds, nice varied tastes of bread. Then for main course we split the filet and calamari - filet was VERY tender. Excellent consistency, I thought it was a tad over cooked for medium rare, but my wife actually prefers that so it worked out. The potato's aren't anything to write home about. The calamari was a HUGE plate...but the flavor was missing. I don't know if I wanted more sauce or a different sauce. It was well fried but bland. Lastly we split a lava cake. I hate toffee but I didn't get it for me. It was fine...there was no lava in it. I don't know if it was overcooked or if it's not supposed to have lava... Our server - Kylina (s/p?) was super sweet and attentive and really made up for any of the disappointing parts of the food. But then we had another LOOOOOONG wait for the elevator...I'd say we spent over 10 minutes waiting and in it between up and down. I think I'd go back for lunch when it spins again...maybe... read more

I came here Sunday with my fiancé and had such an amazing experience that we decided to come back with friends tonight (Wednesday). Unfortunately, our second experience was completely different. If you have Gabriela as your server, good luck. The only real request we made was politely asking if we could move closer to the window for a better view, and after that, it felt like her attitude and service toward our table changed. She was also extremely inattentive throughout the entire visit. Our drinks were never refilled unless we specifically asked, and we frequently had to get her attention when we needed something. On top of that, the restaurant was out of two different items we wanted to order, which was disappointing. Every time Gabriela approached our table, she was also chewing food while speaking to us. At a higher-end restaurant, this is definitely not something I would expect from our server. My friend then found a piece of a broken plate in her food. I completely understand that accidents happen, but unfortunately the issues continued from there. When it was time to pay, our checks were placed directly on the table rather than in checkbooks, which becomes important because we immediately noticed that we had been charged incorrectly. Gabriela quickly corrected the amount and returned with the proper receipt. We then gave her our card to pay, but when she came back, our customer receipt showed a charge for DOUBLE our actual bill. She had charged our card for someone else's tab. At that point, after everything that had happened throughout the night, I no longer felt comfortable having her handle the situation and asked for a manager. Thankfully, the manager was very helpful, corrected the charge, and gave us a bottle of wine to make up for the experience, which we genuinely appreciated. It's disappointing because everything outside of the service was great. The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and our first visit on Sunday was amazing. Unfortunately, Gabriela's lack of attentiveness and the multiple mistakes throughout the evening really took away from what should have been another great experience. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected a much higher level of professionalism, attentiveness, and attention to detail. I honestly receive better and more attentive service at my local Texas Roadhouse. read more

Sometimes I get in the mood for Chart House's prime rib so I have to go! It is melt in your mouth good so if you love prime rib it's worth a try. I love the photo opportunities that the Chart house has to offer and the views of the city that it offers. Service is hit or miss and I wish they had more consistency with quality servers. I am also hoping for some updates in their dining area and decor so that they can elevate their dining experience. read more

Came here for dinner with friends to the magical dinner viewing spot for sunset at the bar with friends from New Orleans. Its a great place to bring guests from out of town for a unique experience. The food and the service was excellent. We most shared a bunch of apps and had drinks. The bartenders were very friendly and kept us full and happy. Definitely recommended for visitors. read more

Disappointed in the food and the service! It was all about the view! We were there for 2.5 hours celebrating our granddaughter's birthday. Everything came out one at a time each 10 to 15 minutes apart. Kids meals ordered first, kids drinks without straws ( each time another 10 minutes until straws came) ice tea but no sweetener... back to kitchen. One kids meal back to kitchen, one drink back to the kitchen... ( rinse and repeat) An hours for appetizers again one at a time... another hour for entrees... Everything seemed to be soggy or overcooked or just sat under the food lights too long. Best thing was dessert.. lava cake. Our server was sweet. She just seemed like she needed assistance. Hamburger was horrible, Mac and cheese - good. Bouilliase broth good but scallop was rubbery, Ribeye was good, black cod was sitting under lights and vegetables that came with it seemed drowning and not fresh. The experience was fun but hoped for better with the coordination of service and quality of all of the food. 5 for the view 4 for the steak 2 for the service 2 for the rest of the food. Enter at your own risk. read more
