We have visited this location for Sunday brunch many times over the last five plus years and recently started attending music events. The food has always been wonderful and the music has been well worth the trip. One or favorite musical events was the recent White Side Walls. read more

We came here for the brunch buffet on Sunday at noon, we had a reservation and were seated right away. The food was amazing and always restocked and warm. It is a bit noisy in there but not too bad!! All of the food was very good and we left feeling full! We will 100% be back, and you can't beat the $8 bottomless mimosa deal! read more

On the website the Charter House is doing false advertisement. The Sunday Brunch is 25.99 ...It says with bottomless mimosas..... but we were charged $8 additional for drinks. The food, atmosphere and staff were great, but we were shocked when the bill came to the table of 5. if we knew that, we would drink something else.. The ad is very misleading and should be removed from the site. read more

First visit! Loved the atmosphere. Food and service were good! Live entertainment by Mick sterling was fantastic!

Located about 20 miles south of downtown Minneapolis, the Chart House is a comfortable supper club, with live music - currently showcasing tribute shows produced by Mick Sterling, a legendary Minnesota Music Hall of Fame inductee. With a group of seven, we ate dinner and saw an Amy Winehouse tribute show. The food was well‑prepared and enjoyable, and the service team kept everything smooth without ever feeling rushed. The performance was tight, heartfelt, and very well‑produced. Not sure I'd make the trek to Lakeville just to eat (although if you're in the area it's worth a shot), but I recommend it as a place for a nice dinner and a great place to sit, listen, and enjoy live music read more

This place is amazing! Ignore the low reviews, wildly inaccurate. Lisa was a great server, live music was amazing, dinner was delicious. 10/10. read more

Mother's Day brunch was less than acceptable, to say the least. We made reservations ahead of time, arrived, and were seated in the bar area in a corner. We asked, "Please move us", as there was seating in the main dining area. However, they had set up the main dining room for larger parties, and if you only had a few, there was no seating. In the bar area, we didn't see the wait staff while the bar service was in use, so we had to ask for water and another beverage ourselves. Then, when our bill came, we had a gratuity for a large party already included. We asked for it to be removed and were not greeted with the not-so-best resolution. Please improve, as we live here in Lakeville and value people who value us. The price of the brunch was also increased by double the regular brunch price every week. read more

Great Steak, lake views, the ship, and some little ducklings. Would do again; would absolutely recommend.

Executive Chef Jeff came on board and my favorite quinoa bowl walked the plank. I don't even like cilantro and I found this quite tasty. Kudos, Jeff - as an omnivore with a plethora of vegans in my extended family, I appreciate when there is effort made to please the eye and the palate for our finicky friends! read more

First I want to say it has been years since we tried this restaurant. It is obviously a staple in the community and has a great look with the ship and lights. Our daughter went there a few weeks ago and said it was not that good, but we decided to try it regardless. The service was very good. We enjoyed our waitress, who was attentive and very pleasant. The food, however, honestly, it was on a scale of 10, maybe a 5? Basically, there was no taste to what I ordered. As if they left out salt and anything to add flavor. The salad dressing was one of the strangest things I have ever eaten or tried to. I almost did not finish my salad. I think it was their version of a vinearette? I don't know it was very strange, and I am typically not critical on such an easy ingredient. There was 0 flavor. The mashed potatoes were over-mashed as if they had been in a blender for an extended amount of time and now a paste. The walleye? What sauce they put on the top is a mystery; I would need to refer to the menu to tell you what it was. I made my way through one piece, not sure if I will attempt to save the other I brought home with some flavor. So with a bill of $140 dollars. aside of a fun atmosphere and a nice waitress, it was not a palatable experience for dinner. I would say the bar in the summer would be a blast but not a dinner place you would walk out of saying that was great let's come back with our parents and friends. Sorry- we tried! :( read more

We have been there a couple of times on Sunday for their brunch. The last time was around Easter I believe. No one ever came up to our table to offer us the free mimosas or anything else. They never even brought us a bill. After asking three different people for a bill we finally just left. I guess it was free for us that day. As for service poor. The food it was pretty good. read more

I had a very bad experience at Sunday brunch this weekend. I wrote a negative review on Google. The owner of the restaurant George Maverick responded to my review with a novel of libelous comments. It was as if he use ChatGPT to write the response and set it to "snarky". He accused me of being inebriated. I have two girlfriends that were with me that can testified that I was totally sober, and he also accused me of poking his manager in the chest and getting loud which I never did. When I telephoned him, he was unapologetic and refused to give me a public public apology. So if you go to this restaurant, I hope you get good service because if you don't don't complain or the owner of the restaurant will publicly libel you. read more

Generally, I prefer not to leave negative reviews or comments as I believe it can fuel unnecessary conflict. I met two friends for brunch at Brianno's Chart house, and although we were excited to catch up, the experience was marred by a few issues. The $25 menu offered some good choices, but the roast beef was overcooked and too salty. To make matters worse, we were asked to leave twice by our waiter and then again by the manager due to a misunderstanding about reservations. It was disappointing that we couldn't simply be moved to another table to resolve the issue. I was shocked to see my friend being treated unfairly by a manager, but she remained calm and composed, expressing her concerns despite being asked to leave multiple times. The manager's aggressive response was uncalled for, especially since my friend had only had a couple of mild mimosas and hadn't poked her fingers at the manager's chest, as falsely claimed in the Google review. I'm heartbroken over what happened at my old hangout spot . Their patio was always lively with great music and drinks, but now those memories are tainted by a terrible experience . read more

Great food, service and ambiance! We enjoyed our evening out on Friday with friends. Shrimp, scallops pasta dish was excellent!

I believe our server's name was Becca and she was wonderful--attentive and friendly. (9/17 6pm) I am disappointed the Chart House took their parmesan crusted walleye fillet off the menu since that's what has brought me in when I visit family in MN. You can still get it in pieces as an appetizer. I tried their new walleye offering and didn't find it nearly as good. They offer salmon parmesan encrusted instead. That doesn't sound good but I didn't try it. Had a fun night all the same. I love their patio with lake view. Recommended. read more

We've lived here for 25 years and through multiple owners the Chart House just can't figure out service. Patio is great. With the addition of Briannos Italian options the food is good enough. But none of that seems to matter when you wait 15 minutes for your server to come out so you can get a check. Then you catch her inside and wait another 15ish minutes for her to come out-without your check! read more

This is a lovely spot, especially in the summer. The menu looks amazing and knowing that Burnsville's own hidden treasure Brianno's is behind it .... I'm sure the food is excellent!' The problem (for me anyway) has been finding out when to go an and when they are open. I'll keep trying! But, sharing so that others will know that they might not click the first try ... and so far, the service here has not matched the deli counter. I am sure they'll catch up! read more

Visited here for dinner and was SO surprised at how amazing it was. I loved the look of the restaurant driving up to it, looked like an old ship!! The inside was so cute as well, had port holes throughout that were actually fish bowls. Really unique! When visiting, they had a live jazz band in another section of the restaurant - you had to get tickets to get into the concert but when looking in it seemed like a blast! After being seated and looking at the menu, there was so many great sounding options was definitely hard to decide. The waitress was amazing and gave great suggestions on what was most popular. I ended up ordering the Brussel sprouts for the appetizer (highly recommend!), and the Walleye Platter with seasonal veggies on the side. The walleye was delicious and is one of their most popular dishes! Definitely recommend getting fish when visiting here, it's definitely one of their specialties. From the service, to the quality of the food, to the price - definitely recommend this amazing restaurant and can't wait to visit again for a jazz night and enjoy the lake views once it warms up outside. read more

Lakeville's hidden gem! The Chart House has such a fun summer lake front feel to it! We said it was hard to believe we were in the Twin Cities here! We chose to sit outside and said multiple times how happy we were that we did! There was live music playing and a beautiful sunset view over the lake front! We also saw some tables were large fire table for guests which is a fun summer addition! Our waitress was so sweet and helpful with the menu! She provided insight on what her favorite meals were, and answered all our questions! She was quick and attentive and that seemed to be across the board with all the staff! Now for the best part: the food! WOW! We started with the crab cakes and they were delicious! I did think they could be a slight bit crispier but that's my preference! We also had the Minnesota walleye and the Cajun shrimp pasta. Highly recommend both! The portions were excellent for the price, enough for dinner and leftovers to take home too! Everything was fresh and hot when we were served as well! Super happy to know this spot is less than 10 minutes from home, and can't wait to return soon! read more

Live music almost every night and the food is top-notch. The first Monday of the month Swing night has a 18 person band that can really wail. The nautical decor can be a little kitc, but I think it's cool. read more

Walleye was decent; too many mashed potatoes and frozen vegetables ( a few pieces of squash)!! The waitress disappeared and they ok a long time to get out desert order; the entertainment was decent except trying to get the amps balanced (huge feedback noise several times). No espresso continuing the new ownership is Italian. Better luck next time! read more

My grandma lives in the senior living facility next door to the Chart House, so we come here frequently for early dinners. Pros: 1. Outside area overlooking the lake 2. Walleye dinner with mashed potatoes Cons: 1. Inconsistent service and food 2. Expensive for what you get Overall, it is fine for a quick happy hour or if you want to sit outside, but don't set your expectations too high for amazing food or service. read more

Very unique restaurant. Tucked away which is nice. Service is always great. I love their flatbreads.

The Chart House's Valentine's dinner tonight was Supper Club worthy in my mind. Atmosphere, beverages, food, service and entertainment checked all my boxes for a nice experience Martini, tender oysters,fresh salad, filet with shrimp, Brussels and mashed, cheese cake, wine.. all good. The place is currently under remodel but it didn't really matter to us. The entertainment was perfect. Courtney Burton and Band are easy listening jazz as smooth as butter. You can even dance if you like. read more

I've only been here once. It was in June for my birthday. Our lunch was okay. The patio was beautiful. The hostess and server were friendly. They gave me a free slice of ice cream pie - that was super kind! My son noticed the Tiki boat and asked about renting it. They told us no. They said you had to be older because they serve alcohol on board. About two weeks later, my son noticed the tiki boat stuck out on the lake...and went to rescue the people on board. The restaurant never acknowledged that this happened or thanked those brave young men, but the ladies on board sure did! Here's the story: https://youtu.be/M0bTBWBPBDQ Here's more: https://kathrynegly.com/2020/07/19/knights-in-shining-rowboats/ It was certainly a day they will never forget! read more

We went here for my birthday dinner, and no regrets. Our food was very good! Great service, and tasty sandwiches. The pickle fries were SO dang amazing. I had a Cajun walleye sandwich and my husband ordered the chicken parmesan which was really good. They gave me a free dessert for my birthday, and it was pistachio pie. YUM! We will definitely be going back to try the flatbread pizza or appetizers. They have live music and a nice patio by the lake. We went on a Wednesday night, and it was very busy, so I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. read more

My wife and I decided to go here for many reasons. It was our 28th wedding anniversary, they had a live person for music, we had a gift card to the Chart house (or so we thought), it was not far from where we live and it was our first time. Unfortunately the meal was one of our worst ever. I will say our waiter was good. Then again, we waited almost 10 mins for him to greet us after being seated. Once we ordered, food came out quick. Salads looked like they had been prepared earlier in the day and been sitting on the plate for a while. We both ordered the filet mignon with lobster tail $45/ea.. The filet mignon was cooked to the correct temperature and was extremely tender. However they had absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. Extremely bland and disappointing. A complete cooking failure! Even one of the lobsters had a small section that tasted mealy. The Vienna style bread tasted good. Far too much mashed potato's and the vegetables were just okay. The food temperature was lukewarm at best. Our dessert, carrot cake, was very dry. Lastly, we learned that despite all the signage outside, on the website, etc. this place is not associated to the Nationally recognized Chart House and would not take our gift card! They had a tiny 1inch box on the menu saying they don't take them. Sorry, that was misleading and disingenuous! Make your wait staff say it up front. Put a warning on the website when booking reservations. Despite the close proximity and good music, we will never go back here again. read more

We recently moved to Lakeville and had heard good things about the Chart House so we decided to stop and give it a try. First off, the moment you drive into the parking lot, you are aware of the uniqueness of the location. The restaurant is built on a peninsula that juts out into Kingsley Lake, which is a good size lake almost devoid of any development. What that means is a beautiful, wild lake that offers some great views of water fowl and other critters. Since they are on such a great view, they offer a large patio and surrounding green that offers many views of the lake and surrounding areas. Did I also mention that they have a sailboat built right through the whole building? Pretty cool. They carry that theme throughout with kitschy nautical decor, fish tanks, and dark hardwoods - which personally, I absolutely love. The menu when we went was limited due to COVID-19 but there was a decent selection of sandwiches, wraps, and main entrees. The appetizers are served as platters and a pretty big. If you get a wrap or sandwich, go with either the sweet potato fries or onion rings - both are great options. Portion size to price range is a little more spendy than other places but then again this is billed more as a white collar country club than just your local Applebees or other chain supper club. The one downside that I knocked a star off for is that sometimes the feeling of a white collar country club bleeds into the atmosphere a little bit too much. When we went, there was a very large table of polo wearing, cigar smoking, beer jugging dudes that were very loud and obnoxious. This kind of ruined the whole patio experience as they got more and more drunk and loud. It would have been nice to have placed that table in a corner of the lot instead of right in the middle of everything. That won't stop me from coming back. The locale, view, and food are plenty to bring me back. I am excited to see their live music and entertainment make a comeback once this pandemic subsides. If you are looking for a unique place to get away from it all for a couple of hours and experience more of a laid back country club feel in the suburbs, this is a great place to check out. read more

I've lived in the S Metro all my life and never had ventured to the Charthouse. It has a great nautical theme. We were asked if we wanted to sit in the lounge (music was starting at 7) or in the dining room. We chose dining. They did have bread service and slightly bummed it wasn't warm. We ordered the Vegetarian platter & Cajun walleye sandwhich. Both were good. Also had pickle fries which were a great add and have usually only tried pickle chips before. Giving 4 stars because it took almost 5 min for someone to greet us after having been sat. Our server was good once we were spotted. read more

There are two sections the bar and music and dinner venue. I was in the bar. My first time my server, Brooklyn was a great guide, It's got to be connected with Brianno's deli in Eagan cause there is a great Italian selection. The menu is very seductive. I was drawn to the lasagne, a risk this NY Italian was ready to take. The piece was huge, stuffed and the plentiful red sauce more than delivered. I got a salad on the side with ranch. I loved the delicious ginger ale from the bar. I have to say the atmosphere is as cool as the menu. You feel like you're at the marina. I brought home the Italiano sub for Basil. It was delicious as well. Local entertainer Mick Sterling is the show organizer. He is featured as well as many other acts. Boomer draw, but all ages will enjoy this scene. I can't wait to go to the other side. Check out the website. They offer so much that you don't want to miss. read more

My wife and two other couples took me out this fall for a nice birthday dinner. They had a little combo band, that played on a nice patio setting in front of a big water display. We stayed around after the sun went down, laughing, chatting, And may be a little drinking. The spotlights all came on for the water feature after dark, and appeared to synchronize with the music being played. All in all it was a fantastic night. Oh by the way, I think everybody's food was really good too read more

Amazing place to go for a lunch, dinner, or a drink. The staff is attentive and friendly, providing top-notch service. Can't say enough about the chicken with wild rice soup. so amazing!!

I was just about to write this review, telling how disappointed I was with my croissant sandwich, because the croissant was dry as a bone. Could only eat half of it. Took the other half out of the fridge, intending to warm it up and opened the box up upside down. Here's a picture of what I saw! My friend ordered a $25 entree and her fish was cold! Potatoes Luke warm. Whole thing had to go back to the microwave. A huge white tent covered the outside view, so the ambiance of fire tables were a bust. My advice? Don't bother with this place. read more

Great - if you are a smoker? So excited to join friends on the patio for dinner. Gorgeous evening, beautiful live music, and great service... unfortunately a table of smokers were placed in the middle of the patio, so we left. Apparently, the patio is not a smoke-free patio? read more

Patio is lovely and it was a beautiful night to sit and enjoy the view. Parmesan walleye was good. Cobb salad was great - quality greens, loved the cashews and honey poppyseed dressing. A piece of bread would have been a nice addition - but I get that some people order salad to avoid bread! Not too pleased to see the hostesses taking their masks off more often than keeping them on. One was chewing on a pen and they both had snacks and drinks at the reservation stand so.... Service was meh. Beverages took a while as well as the meal. No mention of dessert or drink refills. In COVID times I know we need to give folks a break so we will probably give them another try. read more

Food is mediocre at best, and over priced. It's sad when you have to pay almost $20 for a hamburger , and add $5 more for fries, and it's not even that good. Personally, the fries are the best thing on the whole menu! Meat balls don't come with any pasta, that's extra, and the chiclets you get for bread are a joke. They are like bagel chips. It's supposedly Italian, right? Where is the bread, olive oil, balsamic , and or butter, anything? Really disappointing, from what the Chart house used to be. It's great on the patio for a drink, but that's about it. read more

THANKSGIVING BRUNCH This was one of the best brunches I've had in a long time... and especially here. It was a 120 degree turn around from the previous brunches here Everythinf was delicious, not mediocre. Everything was hot. They even had mac and cheese and tator tots for kids. It was laid out very well so there wasn't any clusters. This was the best meal I've had at this establishment for a long ti?e. It was sort of pricey but well worth it. I will be returning next Thanksgiving. Kudos to the people who put the brunch together. Very well executed! read more

Way overpriced for mediocre food. Brian is should take a hint from their Eagan location and bring that menu to Lakeville with a few specialties. The only thing they have going is music and a great patio. If they changed the menu it would be SO much better!!!! read more
