Chart House

It took forever to get the food. The waiter was rude and made racist remarks. I was with Business Clients so didn’t want to make a scene. I did call the manager later and complained and she apologized so points to her for that.

So disappointed. This is our «nice evening out» restaurant but I don’t know if we’ll be back. The salad bar has gone downhill with many fewer choices and the Caesar salad was mediocre at best. My husband ordered a $ 30 steak and at least half of that was fat and gristle. I’m not sure why he didn’t send it back. I think next time we want a nice meal we will try someplace else.

Food is priced WAY TOO HIGH. I enjoy fine dining and don’t mind spending the money if the food is delicious. I was so disappointed. Their cheese plate is $ 20 and the cheeses were so bland. The server neglected to name and describe the cheeses. I requested honey (commonly served with cheese plates) and it never came. The cheeses all tasted the same. The salad bar is $ 17 and the quality, freshness, and selection is equivalent to Sonny’s BBQ. For $ 17, I expected a lot more. Very disappointed in The Chart House and won’t be returning. I would much rather visit Yellow Dog!

Nice atmosphere with nice view of the river. Dirty plates in the salad bar. Decent food.

I found the service to be decent and the food just ok. Well, in fact my entrée was very oily. It was okay but definitely not worth the cost. I don’t think I’d return mostly due to the food.

Great for special occasions.
Good food.
Nice Salad bar.
Upscale service with a nice atmosphere. Not too stuffy, but upscale, with some nice views of the bay from some tables.
Steaks and fish are recommended.

Overpriced place, ok food (nothing special), ok service, never again.
Nice view. Good location. Thats all this restaurant has.

We definitely made the right choice in dining here. The food was superb and the service was fantastic. Totally what I would expect from a restaurant like this. But the most impressive thing was the spectacular view of the bay, which added to the ambience. On the recommendation of the server, I chose the Key West Spiced Grouper. The dish was cooked to perfection and the habanero sauce had a slight kick but wasn’t too spicy. We also order the King Salmon which included the summer vegetables… also cooked to perfection. Just make sure you save room for their signature Hot Lava Cake… which was rich and decadent. Will definitely make it back again the next time I’m in town.

We celebrated a wonderful wedding anniversary at the Charthouse Melbourne. Superb!
They have recently renovated and it is lovely.
The service was spectacular! Our server definitely made this a special event.
The salad bar is always great. From salad, to fruit, to cavier! Hello!
I had the Snapper Hemingway for my entrée but seriously considered the Key West Spiced Grouper… maybe next time. Snapper was delicious. My husband had the Filet, cooked to perfection. Dessert at the Charthouse has always been Mud Pie for us, a tradition. Wonderful as always.
I hadn’t realized they have Sunday Brunch, a must add for our next FLA trip.
Renovated space is a little loud, however the manager stopped by and said they were «working on that». It’s a beautiful spot, not to be missed!

My husband and I went to the Chart a house today to celebrate our 19^th wedding anniversary. We didn’t make reservations but the wait time was minimal. We had an amazing waitress Michelle whom like us was a native of Boston, Ma. She was phenomenal with recommendations and catering to us as first time patrons. The food was awesome and the prices for the portions were adequate. We had the fresh salad bar, clam chowder, I ordered the fish and chips that was cooked to perfection. My husband ordered tilapia topped with lobster with rice and veggies. For dessert even though we were stuffed we shared their amazing mud pie. I will definitely be retuning. Great meal great ambiance and an overall great time.

Go for the happy hour! 4 – 6 it’s such a good deal, but space is limited so get there early!

This was our first visit since they took out the devider between the bar and reastaurant. They gained 20 seats at the bar but the noise was horrible!!! The food I must say is still excellent! Prime rib that melts in your mouth and the best salad bar around.

Usually very good, but my Mother’s Day dinner was a disaster. I ordered Med. Rare Strip Steak. It came with a dry gray center. Sent it back twice and it came back overcooked both times. The second time there was liquid in the dish which appeared to be from improperly drained pasta that was served with it. Took a long time for these repeat separate servings and my dinner companion was uncomfortable eating his dinner while I nibbled bread. Ended losing patience & cancelled my order. AFTER the bill was paid, the manager came to our table & offered us a dessert coupon for a future visit. I told him to keep the coupons, that I would not be back for a future visit.
Very disgusted at the lack of concern by the manager, that my special day had been ruined. Very expensive & a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT !!!

Celebrating our anniversary and we were treated wonderfully. Our server Rachel was so friendly and the right amount of attentive. The food was delicious and the view was amazing. I highly recommend the bronzed swordfish & the lava cake — it’s well worth the wait!

I made a reservation for a Saturday evening at 7:30 with a request for outside or window but we arrived there at 7. They sat us immediately outside at the table of our choosing. Perfect view of the sunset as boats were returning to dock. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly to us. The Lobster Bisque was creamy with nice sized chucks of lobster. The sizzling mushrooms were ordered as an appetizer and delicious! The main dishes were the Prime Rib and Filet Mignon. Both were cooked to our request. The desert was the raspberry sorbet. So light and pallet cleansing.
We had a relaxing, romantic dinner and I would definitely go back.

Went there in Christmas Eve with the family. It was packed. The reservation time was honored. The service and food were outstanding. The limited menus had all the best items from the regular menu. We had several appetizers, entrée’s and desserts and all were very good. A must is the mango mojito.

We were displaced Thanksgiving day guests and decided to give the Chart House a try. Let’s just start with it was a holiday and it was busy. This was actually my first Thanksgiving where I went out for dinner and I must say I felt a little guilty about going because I hate that people have to work that day. Everyone we encountered from the bartender to the servers were very nice and professional and seemed to be okay with working that day.
The Chart House has been remodeled and it appears that it is pretty much complete. The bar that once was hidden is now wide open and I hear a 60 inch television is going against the wall. While it looks great it does increase the noise level in the place. It also allows for wide open views to the river.
We had drinks at the bar while we waited for our table. The bartender John was friendly and fast!
Our table was ready about 15 minutes after our reservation but it was so busy they were doing the best we could. The tables are close together so if you plan on having a private conversation this is not the place. However if you want to ask for a divorce and want to make sure that your soon to be ex won’t scream at you this is a great place.
We started off our meal with Coconut Crunchy Shrimp. They were good not fantastic. You have to try really hard to screw up fried shrimp.
We both had the salad bar. For an additional $ 8.25 with a meal you are allowed access to the salad bar. It’s a good salad bar. The cesear salad station was my favorite and that is probably because I love anchovies and croutons. The server manning the salad bar was working hard all night. Be careful when you pull a salad plate because a few of them were dirty but I am sure it was because the place was jam packed last night.
For dinner I had the filet with mashed potatoes. The filet was perfectly cooked and the mashed potatoes were tasty. My boyfriend had the Hemingway Snapper which was a very big piece of fish with crab meat on top. It was cooked perfectly.
For desert we had the Hot Chocolate Lava Cake. I am not a huge dessert fan but it was good. My boyfriend loved it.
They have a pretty good wine selection and a bunch of speciality drinks.
The Chart House is good restaurant. It’s not at the same level as Yellow Dog Café or Crush Eleven but they are a solid restaurant. I am not sure why the Chart House is getting slammed on Unilocal!
On a side note they have a great happy hour if you want to just go sample a few things and have some cocktails.

Excellent!!! Went here for my birthday dinner and the food and service was great! Jerry was our server and treated us great! We had grouper and salad bar… fabulous! A birthday surprise came at the end. We highly recommend this restaurant!

I visited this restaurant for the first time over Labor Day weekend. I made a reservation and requested a water view table. They did not accommodate this request. Not a huge deal. On the other hand, the service was a huge headache.
Our waiter seemed annoyed that she was working on a holiday weekend (complained right to me about the place being too busy) but worse, seemed to have no clue how to interact with the elder company in my dinner party. She was not attentive to their needs and was condescending at times. Overall, the service was just completely awkward and I couldn’t get out of her company fast enough.
Thankfully, the food was good and fresh. The salad bar was nice and had a lot of options. The place is pretty pricey but the portions were a good size. The views are nice, just try for a water view.
At the end of the meal, the waiter tried to have us sign up for some points club, was pretty insistent on this even though it costs $ 25 to join. She seemed annoyed when we declined. Shocker.
I might go back at some point and try this place out again. The service really ruined it for me.

This restaurant is great. They have valet service. You are warmly greated when you arrive. I have never waited more than a few minutes for a table. The view from our riverview table is stunning.
Drink orders are made promptly and delivered in reasonable time. Cocktails here are very good. Today I ordered oysters on the half shell, lobster bisque, and alaskan king crab legs. The oysters are very nice and served with cocktail sauce and horderadish. The lobster bisque was so tasty and served at just the right temperature. The king crab is to die for and it comes with a baked potato dressed any way you want.
For dessert I had the raspberry sorbet. It tasted fresh made which is a big plus. I also sampled the key lime pie, the cheesecake, and the crème brulle. All were excellent.
The service here was very good and our server was very helpful and attentive. Consistency is the secret to this restaurants success as well as being able to maintain an atmosphere of charm and elegance.
Definitely a great place for a night out with someone special.
