We made reservations awhile ago for a window table and were told we would have to wait to get one. Instead they sat us in a booth that faced the side of the Plaza Hotel. We were not impressed. While the food was good it could have been better. The Caesar salad was soggy, the clam chowder was delicious, mussels... More

Wife and I dined there one night while traveling down the coast, spent a few days in Monterey and Carmel. We have been to several Chart Houses and were looking forward to having dinner at this one. I made reservations for 7PM, should have made it for a later time. The restaurant was packed and our table was not want... More

Great salad bar and views by the window, only open for dinner. Other menu choices are also good, but Salad bar is really plenty enough for most people.

Last Fri. night we dined here for my birthday dinner while in Monterey. I had booked a reservation on opentable requesting a table by the window. We had to wait awhile and were given two tables before the perfect one was ready and it was worth the wait. We were seated near the back of the restaurant by the window,... More

Enjoyed a great meal but did not get a very good table view. As usual the salad bar was excellent and the service outstanding.

We stopped in for the happy hour and made a meal of their wonderful menu! The prices were reasonable, the food was fabulous, and the view of Monterey Bay was spectacular. Would have liked to stay to enjoy the salad bar which looked great, but we were really too full from the ample appetizers!

We have had the opportunity to visit a lot of Chart Houses around the country and this one is one of the best. With Location right on the Bay the food was only part of the experience. Go Visit when your in town.

On our last night this was a great find! The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and we witnessed a lot of sealife activity during dinner...sea otters, dolphins, starfish, and a rainbow too! So glad we found it!

First of all, make sure you make reservations as soon as you know when you will be in the area. You don't want to miss the Chart House. When we arrived we were greeted warmly by the hostess. We were seated promptly at an amazing corner table with a panoramic view of the bay. The service was perfect. I ordered... More
