After searching for a few steakhouses, The Chart House stood out because of its beautiful view and great reviews. We decided it was a must-try and made a reservation through OpenTable for 7:45 PM. We started with the kimchi calamari, followed by the New York strip and the 14 oz. prime rib. When I tell you it's rare for a steakhouse to get both land and sea dishes just right, this place truly knows what they're doing! Everything was cooked perfectly, tender, hot, and full of flavor. Nothing was lacking. The customer service was also wonderful. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and helpful. And, just as the reviews described, the view was absolutely beautiful, especially while watching the sunset. We're already looking forward to coming back to celebrate special occasions. We didn't get a chance to try happy hour, but the prices and options looked great--definitely another reason to return! read more

We were only in Tahoe for a couple of days..and before we even arrived my boyfriend said he wanted to take me to Chart House to celebrate my birthday. I'd read the reviews beforehand some were glowing..others not so much but I still wanted to experience the views and the food for ourselves and decide from there. We arrived a little early for our reservation and didn't mind waiting. My boyfriend had specifically requested a window seat so we could enjoy the scenery. After about 10 minutes the hostess came over and said they didn't have a window table available right then..but they did have a booth one seat back from the window. I asked if we could see it first. It wasn't actually near the window..so we politely declined and said we'd keep waiting. She was wonderful about it and more than happy to accommodate us. Another 10 minutes later we were seated at a table right by the window with a beautiful view. I was so glad we held out and didn't settle for the booth. Charlotte was our server. It was very busy..but she tried her best to be attentive..and honestly we didn't mind being left alone with the nice view and conversation with each other. Shout out to Charlotte! She was great! We shared a Cobb salad as an appetizer..and Charlotte happily made a bunch of modifications for us since neither of us likes a lot of different vegetables. For our entrées my boyfriend ordered the steak + lobster tail and I got the Chart House 10 oz prime rib. I told her I wanted my meat rare "if the cow is still mooing..that's fine with me" and she delivered. It was perfectly red and delicious. The mashed potatoes were wonderful too..and the pomegranate mojito was strong but really good. My boyfriend's steak was cooked exactly how he likes it (medium rare) and the lobster tail was excellent..he said it was actually bigger than he expected. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service at Chart House. Don't let the mixed reviews scare you away..come experience it for yourself and decide. We don't know when we'll be back in Tahoe..but when we do return..we definitely want to come here again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

This was a rare opportunity for me to sneak away after getting off work a little early. So when I did some research, chart house was the first restaurant that popped up. From start to finish everything was great, my halibut was cooked very well, buttery and delicious. The sweet corn purée and succotash were a good complement, the oysters were nice and sweet, fresh. The Baja shrimp was tasty as well. I will be back for sure as the menu really spoke to me, with other fish offerings I want to dive in to. I guess my only adverse thought would be that I would have loved to have sautéed heirloom cherry tomatoes instead of sliced 5x6 tomatoes. Brie, my server was on point, answered all my questions and took good care of my dining experience. The view? Well how could you not like a a view of Lake Tahoe as a bright red sunset, bathed the mountains with reflection on the waters so regal and colorful. Bravo guys, this experience is well worth another trip. See you again soon. read more

Had a reservation here for a party of 12 on a Monday evening for dinner to celebrate a birthday. The place was packed and we were seated about 10-15 minutes after our reservation time. They have plenty of parking in their parking lot. They also provided a while coloring book for each kid with colored pencils. Service: Service was very slow. It took 25-30 minutes after we sat down to get our drinks. My son's kid's meal was supposed to come with milk (which I asked for) and it never came. I had to ask a few times for a refill on my iced tea, which I felt they should have noticed and brought one without asking. Food: Food was very good. They started us with warm, complimentary house bread and butter service. I really enjoyed the kimchi calamari and was pleased it was a large portion. I ordered the Miso black cod for my meal, which flaked easily with a fork and was on top of a bed of Asian style vegetables and broth. The kids menu offered some healthy options as well and I got my son the grilled chicken with vegetable (broccolini). Our large party ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees, and everyone spoke highly of the food. They brought out a red velvet cake dessert for the birthday celebration. I didn't see the bill, so I'm not sure if it was complimentary or not. Ambiance: nice view of the lake and sky during sunset. Overall, good food and lake views, but service was lacking. read more

Warmly greeted and seated within reason of our reservation time. However, it seems Chart House has continued its downward slide. The meal started out well with a very nice shareable Shrimp, Avocado + Mango Stack. But my starter, the Caesar Salad, was bland and unremarkable. It was more like a prepackaged salad from Costco. It was lacking enough dressing, cheese and any seasoning -- and anchovies would have been nice for the price. My entree was uniquely spicy for salmon and the entire entree on the small side. It was flavorful and cooked to perfection, however. The Mini Lava Cake would have been a nice way to finish to the evening, but by the time was got utensils to eat it, the ice cream was melted on all three and fell off the top of the cake. Annoyingly, someone in our party had to ask for utensils after each course. Perhaps they were overwhelmed with it being Father's Day. Which reminds me, I booked my reservation months ago. Chart House called me a few days prior to advise me that it was a Holiday Menu only, and asked, "Is that okay or would you like to cancel your reservation?" I don't think that will be a concern going forward. read more

Chart House in South Lake Tahoe is definitely worth a visit. The view alone makes it a great spot, especially if you can get a table overlooking the lake. I had the coconut shrimp with rice, and it was really good. The customer service was excellent--everyone was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We finished with the chocolate cake and ice cream, and it was the perfect dessert. Great food, beautiful scenery, and awesome service. I'd definitely come back. read more

Came here cuz I was looking for a fine dining place hoping to get some high quality food. Thankfully we came during happy hour because if I would have paid full price for most of the items I would have been super pissed. I'll start with the positive the kimchi calamari and the firecracker shrimp were pretty good. The one thing that was fantastic was the king crab. Now for the crap the mussels were over cooked and tasted terrible. And I feel like that's an understatement . The lettuce wrap were seriously underwhelming the chicken was dry and even the sauces weren't that tasty it was just overall very bland. We also order a few drinks I asked for a vodka sprite and lime and whatever they served me had no carbonation in it and almost tasted like just water and vodka. Just an over all not great experience. Probably won't ever be back. read more

We were greeted warmly, and seated at a beautiful window seat. Warm fresh bread arrived, but thats as far as the good portion of our experience went We ordered a bottle of wine and a couple cocktails. It took almost 30 min just to recieve them! In the meantime, we ordered our meals. 38 minutes later our COLD lobster Bisque came out. Im talking straight out of freezer. Normally I dont send food back, but it was like lobster ice cream. My friends clam Chowder was exactly the same. The service was soooooo slow, and when we finally got our meal, (we had to ask for silverware, a bucket for our wine which should have been 1st priority).......disappointed at best. Mashed potatoes were excellent. The steak (i asked for medium) came rock hard. The seabass always sorely overcooked, my Husband had to chew it vs the soft flaky nature it should be. We come here 2x/year and this will likely be our last. Hoping there is some better management in place next time read more

The location atop of a grade overlooking the lake and trees, wow. We had an incredible table that had a unreal sunset, too. Again, wow. But the food was okay, but inconsistent. One of our party sent her Sea Bass that was overcooked and was rubber. She then ordered what I got, the Swordfish, and it looked far from mine and was not cooked as well. The service was not great, especially for a Chart House location. Not attentive. Rather inexperienced. It's a nice choice for a date, it's definitely romantic. read more

The score is low due to our initial interaction when we walked into the restaurant, the unwelcoming tone of one of the hostesses, and the lack of flavor for the prime ribs. Food 3/5: The Caesar salad was delish and it came in a cheese bowl which was cool. The brown and white bread that they bring complimentary was warm and tasty. The steak was cooked well, but honestly lacked flavor. We ended up adding salt and pepper to taste. But, the horseradish concoction was a nice addition. For the price, it was underwhelming. Bar and drinks: 5/5 stars!! The bar staff were kind and fast. The mango mojito was sweet and minty. The on tap beer was crisp and cold. The Moscow mule had strong ginger flavor and was bubbly. The blood orange margarita was so unique. It was sour and tangy, so good! Waiter: 5/5 Kelly was so great! He visited the table frequently, had our waters filled, and offered a special birthday dessert since we were celebrating a birthday. He really turned the experience around! He made polite conversation and honestly took an interest in hosting us at the Chart House :) Service 2/5: Unfortunately, the front hostess drop the score. Originally, she had said there were no tables open besides reservations and we could not wait at the bar in case a table opened. There were two of us at the time and she said there was no room at the bar right now. Another hostess came up right away and she said she would look if there was room. We were able to wait at the bar until our reserved time. At about 10 minutes after our reserved time to be seated, with no text message, I went and asked about our table. The first hostess we talked to had given our reserved table to a different group! The other hostess rushed to get a table (originally set for four) to be bussed and set for our group of five. We were seated 30+ minutes after our reservation time. read more

A restaurant this expensive with a 3.9 rating is concerning but after eating here, I can say we definitely didn't even experience 3.0 quality. I will say the view is very nice, but the photos were definitely taken before some of the trees grew in because it is mostly obstructed. That being said still beautiful. The restaurant itself seems nice. We were a group of six and our table had pop-up wings that were crooked leading to drinks being spilled and other shenanigans. Waitress was a very interesting person, a highlight being when she took our drinks for almost 15 minutes to refill them (Shirley Temple and Dr Pepper). As far as food goes our appetizer, some sort of tasting platter was very good, one in our group ordered salmon also good. Everyone else's food extremely disappointing. We added the Baja shrimp to two of our steaks, and they popped it on top of it to cover the fact that it was a terrible sear. The steaks were probably a five or six out of 10. But for the price you're paying, it should definitely be more than that. I believe the ahi was $48 on menu and it is the photo shown above, quite literally the worst thing I've ever eaten. our waitress recommended switching the furikake rice to the mango sticky rice, which I did, and then when my food was brought out to me first off that was the presentation I got. Second, they didn't include the bok choy. Which is listed on the menu. We asked our waitress about it and she said oh don't worry the bok choy is disgusting. You're not missing anything. By the way, that is exactly what she said.. later that night, one of the people in our party got extremely sick with food poisoning we believe that it may have been the Baja shrimp. eat here with caution know what you're getting into. We definitely won't be coming back. read more

Breathtaking views. Nice spacious restaurant. It's always a great experience here. The service from Amy was great...she was smiling and optimistic, fast, attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu. In fact she was so prompt that it was the quickest steakhouse dinner we have ever had. The new twist on the Caesar since our last visit was a pleasant surprise. Steak was a little overcooked but still delicious and fish was cooked perfectly. Table side espresso soufflé martini was fun to watch and a light, sweet, smooth cocktail. read more

It's crazy to see that (at the time of this review) this place only has a 3.9 star rating. By far, some of the best NY Strip and Prime Rib I have ever had. The blue cheese butter is a must! The swordfish and calamari were delicious as well. And the chocolate lava cake.... I'd order 3 more if my body could handle it (also it takes a while for preparation, so make sure to order early.) Serving sizes are huge and great to share with parties of 5. Customer service is amazing too. David is a very friendly and fun employee. Thanks for dealing with our shenanigans and obnoxious jokes haha. Also if you're lucky to have a table right by the windows, the sight is beautiful as well, especially during sunset. I definitely see myself coming back here multiple times, just gotta save up a little bit because it sure isn't cheap haha. read more

EXCELLENT service! Phenomenal crew. They have an amazing staff at this location. Five star easily! Food was great. Ambience amazing. But the highlight is the STAFF! Everyone was beyond accommodating! We came with two Littles for happy hour and they were not on their best behavior. The staff went above and beyond! We are so thankful for this lovely evening!!! They all deserve a HUGE RAISE!!!! read more

It's a beautiful spot. Unfortunately service is a big issue. The wife and has a 7:15pm reservation, we didn't get seated till 8:15pm. No waters or any sign of the bottle of wine we ordered for another 20+ minutes. A Tuesday night and they were completely overwhelmed by what looked like a modest crowd. I hear the happy hour is good, but can't imagine trudging them with dinner again read more

Driven past this place multiple times but finally got the chance to eat here for a business meeting. They had a set menu we could choose from. Started with Cesar salad. I got prime rib with mashed potatoes and my friend for the Baja salmon with shrimp and rice. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Got creme brulee and cheesecake for dessert. It said it was supposed to be served with raspberries but they ran out so they gave us a side of blackberries instead. Service was great! Would eat here again read more

DISAPPOINTED! We arrived for our reservation of two 15 minutes early and were told upon checking in that they were running about 10 minutes late. Not a problem for us, we will sit at the bar, but were then told the bar was full. Not a problem again, we are patient. We visited with people in the entrance area and it was great people watching! A woman came in with the same reservation time for two as us and apologized that they were a bit late and her husband would be in as soon as he parked their car. They also told her there was a delay so it was ok. We proceeded to watch as tables of nine, tables of four, and tables of five were seated. A party of four came in and asked if they could sit at the bar and they were immediately taken back. A single came in and asked to sit at the bar and she was seated as well. I continued to watch the other couple that came in after us question the host and even get upset until there was just our two parties waiting in the lobby. Guess who got seated first...the angry couple and not the patient one. After waiting for 35 minutes, I told the hostess to cancel our reservation and stated the facts of what had just happened. She did apologize and said she had told the other hostess that we were next, but apparently it didn't matter. DISAPPOINTED! We called another Uber and headed back down the hill to a great meal with excellent service! read more

Great food with a relaxing atmosphere. The fauxjito was a little watered down though. The servers could have done a better job replacing your utensils for each course. My group didn't get spoons as soon as we wanted for dessert. We had to ask for them. By the time we got spoons, the ice cream had already fallen off the top of my lava cake. The staff may have been overwhelmed since it was Father's Day. read more

We're traveling with two little ones (1.5 and 4.5 years old) and two grandparents, and tonight was our last dinner before heading back to the Bay Area tomorrow. We decided pretty last minute to celebrate our trip here. I was worried we wouldn't be able to get a table on short notice, but I called twice to explain our situation, and both ladies I spoke with on the phone were incredibly nice. They managed to get us a reservation around 7pm, and when we arrived, they actually seated us at a window table for around 7:35 -- right overlooking Lake Tahoe (trees have grown taller so some of the view has been obstructed a bit, but still good views), where we got to watch the sunset go down behind the mountains. Such a beautiful view. As the sun got lower and the light got a bit too glaring, our waitress even came by and thoughtfully raised the curtains a bit for each of us so it wasn't so harsh on our eyes -- such a small but lovely touch. Food was fantastic across the board: * Fried calamari -- biggest portion I've ever seen, and it tasted great too. Our 1.5-year-old kept trying to share it with the grandma sitting at the table behind us, and we eventually had to ask our server to take the plate away, otherwise he would've kept eating every last crumb off it * 18oz ribeye -- so juicy and delicious, we shared it at the table, and even our older son, who's usually not a big meat eater, kept going back for more * Miso sake glazed cod -- tender with great flavor * Salmon topped with crab -- generous portion, super fresh * Herb roasted chicken -- a hit with both the grandparents and the kids * Chocolate lava cake -- hands down the best I've ever had Both the hostess and our server were professional and so warm throughout the whole meal. Dining out with young kids and grandparents can get chaotic, but they made the entire evening feel relaxed and easy. One last thing worth mentioning -- there was a long line out the door the entire hour and a half we were there. Yet somehow it never felt rushed or chaotic. The whole place ran like a well-oiled machine, but one that never lost its human touch. This was hands down our best meal in Tahoe, and we'll definitely be back next time we're here. read more

Parking can get tough on busy nights. We grabbed a spot in the lower lot. Happily we had a reservation. Wait staff was efficient and friendly. We had the halibut which received rave reviews. Two in our party had the filet mignon. I sampled a taste and the meat was perfectly cooked. I had the lamb chops which were ample and delicious. Was hoping for a lake view as requested. Unfortunately with the rush of patrons we ended up in a tucked away alcove. Delicious happy hour is served only in the bar area. We've done this on previous visits and they have lots of tasty bites. read more

We've been going to this location for many years and I have to say that they were either having an off day or their quality has taken a deep dive. Our food lacked luster. The prime rib was warmed over (definitely wouldn't expect that from this location). My husbands pasta sauce was flavorless as was the salad dressing. Our server wasn't attentive so we never ordered our second drink. Barely came to check on us, the service was slow and we had to box our own leftovers. We never saw a manager that night. Not sure if the views are worth the food anymore. read more

Don't get me wrong for giving it a 3, but I think customer service is poor given that it is a fine restaurant with a great view of the lake and potentially the sunset if you get lucky to be seated in front, or by the glass window. We didn't have any uncomfortable experience. However, people at the front desk are quite snobbish. From my perspective, as a customer, I would always want to feel welcomed. Our server, Ms. Lani is a nice lady but I cannot say the same thing for the rest. I understand that it is busy but I don't think that should be a reasonable excuse since this is a food business. Additionally, the food isn't that great either. My fillet mignon steak (medium rare) was dry. The drinks tasted bland and sugary to the point that you could not taste even an inch of the alcohol. Bathroom is clean and the restaurant's atmosphere is intimate. Complimentary bread* read more

Our wedding celebration dinner at Chart House in Tahoe was fabulous! From scheduling, to accommodating a large party, they were so professional and gave us the experience that we were envisioning for our special day. We loved our waitress, who was very attentive to all of us. All of our entrees were so amazingly good, and we were all very satisfied will our meals. I thank everyone at Chart House for such a great experience, and will definitely patronize this business again when we visit! read more

The happy hour is off the charts. We enjoyed the food. The table overlooks the lake. The service was impeccable

Place was so good. We went here a second time three days later this time everybody had beef or chicken to New York steaks one chicken and one prime rib the New York steaks were excellent, tender perfect the chicken was tender and juicy and to die for. Last but not least the prime rib was just so so a little stringy! To tell you the truth, I've had better prime rib ribs at Texas Road House! Appetizer of coconut shrimp the shrimp were butterflies and they didn't need to be. This took away from the taste of the shrimp because the shrimp was divided in half, didn't taste much coconut on it again. Could it get better at Outback restaurant. Last but not least we got the lava cake cause we didn't get that last time and guess what it was just lava cake nothing to ride home about actually some of the sponge was a little dry did like the crunchy burnt chocolate attached to the bottom of the plate. read more

Visited at 7:45 on a Tuesday without a reservation. Stood at the hostess stand for 5 minutes or so with no acknowledgment. Started wandering around looking for an employee or to sit in the bar. Bar was untended. Got a server to seat us. Super nice server, food was good. Spinach salad was delicious as was the clam chowder. I had the coconut shrimp hubby had the miso black cod. The mojito sampler was terrible. Too much syrup, no crushed ice, no soda water, mint or garnish. The Basil Yuzo and Chocolate Soufflé drinks were yummy. read more

I was a bit concerned with some of the reviews, but after our dining experience, Id definitely return and recommend to friends and family. Our server Megan was the sweetest, kindest most attentive staff member and really helped make our evening special. The front of house staff a young woman with dark hair was very welcoming and the view of the lake was phenomenal. My boyfriend got the prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes and I got the chicken sous vide with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, we also opted to start off with coconut shrimp and lobster bisque. We finished with the lava cake and they gave him a complimentary mudslide ice cream cake for his birthday, we shared our desserts and they were both incredible. Overall a lovely dining experience with top notch atmosphere, service and food. We will most definitely be back. read more

Been to the Chart House at least a dozen times over the years and it may be our last. Sad. read more

I came here with a group of 6 for dinner on vacation. We made an 8pm reservation on a Saturday night and there was absolutely no wait time to get seated. Our table was very crammed and not sturdy as the extension pieces on the top were loose. The ambiance is cute, dress up or down and I'm sure it's a lovely view when it's still light out. The food itself was amazing, though is was cold when it came out. Our waitress Megan was so kind to switch my dish out to a fresh one, which I appreciated. I'd definitely come back for a regular dinner next time I'm in Tahoe. read more

It's a nice restaurant, went on a Wednesday at 6pm, they seated us near the window (not against the window), so still a nice view, until the sun came shining on my face! Needed to scoot myself over to avoid it! Food was generally OK. I had the 10oz prime rib, medium rare. It looked like it was cooked just right, just expected it to be a little more tender. Hubby had blackened salmon and loaded potato, he thought both were just OK. What was really delicious was the side order of Asian green beans! And, finally, we also enjoyed the chocolate lava cake.

Best coconut shrimp in S. Lake Tahoe! Happy Hour was great service with great food! They even brought a birthday cake surprise!

Came here on a recent trip to Tahoe for a nice dinner with a large group. It is considered to be more of an upscale restaurant in the area and the interior is quite nice. However, I thought the food was just so-so, nothing really stood out to me about the flavors in the dishes. They were decent, but not good enough to justify the price point to be honest. More thought could be put into the composition and flavors of the dishes. read more

Wow! At 4:30pm on a Saturday, this place was packed! Glad I booked this instead of the 7:45pm available on OpenTable so we could see the sun set over the lake. What a view! We started off with a couple libations: the torched apple Manhattan and the butterfly effect, made tableside which had all the bells and whistles. At $26 and $20 respectively, they better bring it. 4/5 Four of the mussels in our starter were shut tight indicating there could be better quality control in the kitchen. In retrospect, some were a bit off tasting too. 2.5/5 The crispy ahi bites cleared our sinuses with the raw jalapeño and the wasabi sauce. The presentation was very nice and we enjoyed this after getting over the spicy shock. 4/5 My prime rib was well marbled throughout and cooked a perfect medium rare. The accompanying mashed potatoes were also good. 4/5 The side of sautéed mushrooms was superb! I would definitely go with the large next time. 5/5 My fiancé got the sea bass which was a very good sized portion with the addition of the lobster risotto. Cooked well, a very rich decadent dish. 4/5 Our service was very good. We were checked in on server times by several staff snd left wanting nothing. At $250 for 2 (including tip), this is a bit of a splurge. We want to come back and check out their happy hour Monday through Friday 4-6pm! read more

Every time I come to the Chart house, it is an enjoyable and excellent culinary experience, the last one being equally as good
