- CCraigVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoThis fine restaurant has lost a little of its "edge," as it undergoes renovations. Much of the allure of the place was the wonderful ambience and views inside the dining room. The relocation of the dining area during renovations has eliminated much of that. It also seems to have taxed the service staff, who were slower than usual. The presence of a band, although a nice touch in some venues, seemed a little out of place in a fine dining establishment and was loud enough that it interfered with quiet dinner conversation.More infoPacific's EdgePrice: Very Expensive• American• Carmel•4.5
- JJakeCalifornia Central Coast •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe’ve been coming here for over 10 years. My wife and I only come for special occasions. Everytime we’ve been here, Chart House gets it right. The drinks are strong and the food is impeccable. The service is always pleasant. And we always get a great seat in the restaurant. If you want a fancier dinner, this is your place! Tip: Make a reservation. They book up fast!More infoChart House Restaurant - MontereyPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.5
- PPaulVIPCalifornia Central Coast •42 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food and service were terrific. Our server, Nick, was very friendly and helpful and had great suggestions for which menu items went well together, when they should be served and everything came in the order we requested , not too soon or too late. Nick also arranged for us to get some special items not on the menu. All-in - all a very special evening and a special meal. Thanks, Paul Best.More infoTarpy's RoadhousePrice: Moderate• American• Monterey•4.6
