Chart House

I visited Chart House for my birthday and it was fantastic. The ambiance of the restaurant, the location being right on the water, and dining with a view of the Manhattan skyline were unbelievable. Ran into a slight issue where our table was not ready when we were called and ended up waiting an additional 10 – 15 minutes. Ordered coconut shrimp, oysters, and the crab meat avocado mango stack as appetizers and was not disappointed. Ordered a New York strip steak Oscar style and was cooked perfectly. Not overpriced for the value and location. Cannot wait to return.

Decided to have a celebration brunch at Chart House for my daughter for graduating from her master’s degree program. I made a reservation for 10 people for brunch several months in advance and noted the special occassion via open table. I confirmed via phone as well. When we all showed up, we were forced to use the valet as the valet was hoarding spots near the entrance and beyond. We had to wait for our table and when we were told it was ready, we were brought to a dirty table and had to go back and wait. The hostesses did not have their act together. We were eventually crammed into small circular table which was difficult because it was a buffet and four people would need to slide out anytime someone needed to get up. Waiter was overwhelmed. The special occassion was not acknowledged at all. Food was ok but we were disappointed overall. Not what I expected.
When I received the survey, I expressed my opinion and was contacted by the manager, who assured me that this was not the norm and that he wanted fo make it right. So, he invited my daughter back for dinner and sent $ 125 gift card to cover the cost. She showed up yesterday and there were 30 cars waiting for the valet because there were two weddings and no regular spaces. She had to wait ½ hr past her reservation time. But, once she was seated, all was well and she had the celebratory meal she should have had the first time. Parking and the hostess stand still seem to have issues but at least they made it right.

Came to Chart for graduation and had a wonderful experience. Starting with seating host who was extremely accommodating. NY skyline is simply spectacular. And of course the food was amazing. Amazingly prepared and delicious. Our server was outstanding, facilitating all our demands, taking time to explain items on the menu and delivering superb service.

Spectacular evening thanks to our server Swee. She went above and beyond to make the evening special.
Food was delicious. Key LIme pie for dessert, very good.

Wow, this place is amazing. One of the best I have been to in NJ. Great view of Manhattan, food is expensive, but not crazy expensive, party of 4 you are looking at $ 200-​$ 300, Services are great, you can walk to the balcony for fresh air after dinner. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a fancy place to celebrate or impress significant other.

I came here with many expectations regarding to all the reviews that i have read… But this was really disappointing experience.
We had reservation but we were supposed to wait 45 min to be seated.
After we were seated the waitress came and ask to order everything in ones.
We wait for drinks 10 min. but after that everything was very quick.
We have order for appetizer calamari and cheese plate, they bring us the appetizer and after 10 min the main course– we haven’t even try our appetizer. I told to Food runner that we are not ready for our main course, he took the food and bring it back after another 5 minutes… Are u kidding me? The main course was very small and overpriced nothing special that u can not tray in a regular restaurant where u don’t need to pay 40 $ for one dish.
Our waitress never came to ask us how do we like our food, do we need anything else…
After 2 minutes when we finished our main course they bring us dessert and the check.
It was our anniversary and we really wanted to enjoy our night but they rushed us and destroyed our special night
So we paid over 200 USD for 45 minutes waiting and 45 minutes dinner.
Just the view of Manhattan is the one thing that is worthed .
I don’t recommend this restaurant i and we will never come back !

Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m accustomed to an approximate wait of 5 – 15 minutes at a restaurant when making a reservation at a certain time. Maybe I’m spoiled but if I make a reservation at 8:30 I expect to be seated by 8:45 at the very latest. My reservation at the chart house was for 8:30 and we were seated at 9:45!
«What’s the point of making a reservation?» I asked the manager.
She told me that they would do their best to seat us shortly.
With a 1 hour and 15 minute wait time (with a reservation) one would at least expect to eat some mind blowing phenomenal cuisine.
Simply put the wait time isn’t justified by the quality of the food.
…the view is nice though

Visited Chart House for a friends 30^th birthday– the view and restaurant are stunning! The food was very good, a tad overpriced for what it was, but the experience was worth it. Average plate price was $ 30-​$ 40.
Our server John was amazing– well spoken, friendly and checked in just enough to make us feel good.

I will be back for drinks on their patio that was just opened for the summer!

Good food, great service and overall amazing ambiance! The NYC skyline in the background is the cherry on top. This is my second time here and I love it more and more. It truly is an exceptional restaurant. Highly recommended especially for couples. Great idea for a romantic date.

Better training of staff, distancing the garbage disposal from the entrance, and cleaning drinking glasses so that the dust from drying towels don’t linger in them are all things that the management can achieve easily. I wish they had done that.
In addition, my NY strip steak, which I asked for medium rare, was so dry and tough that I had to tell myself that a cow died for it in order to finish my steak.
None of my party had enjoyed the food. Won’t come again

Love love loved Chart House. Came here for a celebratory anniversary dinner.
Our waitress was super nice and knowledgable about the wines and all of the dishes. Good thing… since I had such a hard time choosing off the delicious menu! I wish I remembered her name :(
For an app, we went with the Mediterranean Hummus Platter, since my boyfriend doesn’t eat fish. My favorite was the Roasted Red Pepper. Went perfect with the Pita and Plantains. The wine she recommended (a California Cab) was the perfect balance of dry and light. For the main course, she recommended the Mac Nut Mahi. I was between that and the Chilean Sea Bass, so went for the recommendation. It was nothing short of amazing. The peanut sauce was not too overwhelming and the crust was the perfect amount of crunch. The fish was cooked perfectly. The Bok Choy was tender and the Purple Sweet Mashed Potatoes were DELICIOUS (made with coconut milk) with the soy sauce on the side!
My boyfriend ordered the NY Strip and he enjoyed it. The Grilled Asparagus was also cooked perfectly. I wanted dessert so badly, but was so full. The waitress sent us a desert on the house anyway. Obviously, I ate it even though it was gluten and dairy filled, BUT oh my goodness was it amazing. Oreo crusted coffee ice cream with a chocolate hazelnut sauce. Need I say more? Can’t wait to return when the weather is nice and sit outside!

Spectacular views from their upstairs dinning room! The ambiance of this restaurant is worth it. I had an event that was held here so I was not able to partake in the dining experience however I will be coming back specifically for this. This place is slightly easy to find, it’s the amount of traffic one has to plow through to get there. I happened to be going during rush hour, which I really couldn’t change due to the fact that the event was at 7.
Each staff member I spoke with were helpful, attentive, and consistently tended to their guests. The owner was extremely nice while making sure we set up in tine and did not interfere with his wedding.
Parking is a long pier that is free but can be hard to find parking around 7, opt for the valet service for $ 6, it’s easier.
Overall this place is somewhere I would love to go on my own time and enjoy the service and food.

I give this place a 5 star for ambience and food. Upon arrival, you are able to valet your car. Immediately walking in, you just know you’ll have impeccable service. There’s a host to greet you and seat you. The place itself is pristine and immaculate. The view is absolutely incredible.
Try the crab, shrimp, mango, avocado stack. The blend of flavor is quite nice. For entrees, I ordered the flounder. It was super fresh. Also, they will recommend the chocolate molten cake. That was really rich but delicious. Order in advance though as it does take a while. Your server will advise that though because they’re just that informative.
This place is charming for a romantic dinner. I would try the happy hour next as well for a casual evening.

I get that they have a nice view, but that alone just isn’t cutting it with me…
Walked in around 7~7:30 pm and found seating at the bar in a reasonable amount of time.
Bartender was warm and welcoming. Drink selections were good and the cocktails were not overly sweet. Considering the price point, it was slightly above average and certainly enjoyable with the view.
Had the crab cake appetizer to start. It was probably the highlight of the meal. Taste and texture both very good. The only thing to note is that the portion is on the small side. However, to think that the portion would be overly generous and filling at an establishment like this would be to think that the Easter bunny would be bringing you whatever presents you wished for at Christmas. (You’ve basically got to be completely delusional and all sorts of messed up…)
The entrees were meh. I returned the first fish entrée (barramundi) because it was just flat out bad. It had this breading on it that made Long John Silver’s look gourmet. If it wasn’t for the bartender and how he handled it professionally, they would’ve gotten even less stars.
Second entrée attempt was the sole/​flounder, and it was slightly better since it wasn’t breaded like a brick. But by then I just wasn’t into it anymore. Just to note, they cooked the shit out of that piece of fish. The chef must have seen the color turn white, then proceed to cook it for another 10 minutes just out of pure spite. Sorry fish. You gave up your life in vain.
0.5 star for view. 1.0 for service. 0.5 for that crab cake.
Your kitchen owes that sole an apology…

Your paying for the views. AMAZING VIEW OF THE NYC SKYLINE. Went for lunch food was okay. Service was quick and polite.
Definitely would recommend the lava cake for dessert
For two ppl for lunch: soup two sandwiches two glasses of sangria and dessert was 70 $
Would recommend to everyone to come atleast once for lunch and once for dinner ;)

Came here with my bf for my 22^nd birthday and to my surprise the paper menu handed to us actually said at the top «Weehawken Chart House Wishes You a Happy Birthday» — immediately already off to a great time due to the hospitable gesture. We came at around 5:15 when the restaurant reopens for dinner and had a choice to sit basically anywhere close to the Windows to get a first hand VIP look at the beautiful NYC skyline. I ordered the lobster tail with mash potatoes and we had Prosecco to drink.
Our waiter checked up on us constantly and made sure we had everything we needed. He also gave us solid recommendations on what to order for entrees and well as dessert.
The overall price for the whole experience was $$$$, but really it is worth it. The food made a party on my tastebuds, the service was more than accommodating and the view was beyond mesmerizing.
Definitely a perfect place to take your loved ones for special occasions.

Came here for my boyfriend’s birthday and wowwww What a beautiful place. Perfect view of Manhattan. The complete staff was very welcoming and the service was one of a kind thanks to our attentive waiter Frank. Frank was one of the best waiters I ever had. He was willing to take pictures of the both of us, was very knowledgeable about the menu and he recommended the fleur d Lis drink and what a great choice.
I Had the stuffed flounder is was so fresh and very well seasoned. My boyfriend had the blackened salmon with the extra lobster topping and there was nothing left on his plate. To finish our amazing experience we got free complimentary lava cakes with happy birthday written in chocolate fudge.
We are so glad we picked chart house to celebrate his special day.

My bestie gave me a gift card to a Landry’s chain restaurant… never even knew there was a chain… so we decided to choose Chart House.
Can’t go wrong with the view here… it’s beautiful. Service is always friendly BUT BUT BUT the bathrooms were horrendous. The food on the other hand was ehhh… I don’t know what happened to this place.
So I gave it a rating of 2 stars for friendly service and the salad and desert and a delicious pomegranate martini.
My lobster Bisque wasn’t as warm and it was just ok. I like my soup piping hot and the flavors weren’t there. It tasted a bit bland.
My entrée… Mahi Mac Nut comes with a side of peanut sauce and smashed purple yam… sounds delicious right… well all the sides were but the star of the plate was DRY. I had to give it back and I HATE doing that but I had to. They were nice enough to take it off the bill.
The goat cheese kale salad was delicious. And the famous lava chocolate molten cake (ORDER IT ONCE YOU SIT DOWN)…it wasn’t as good as the first time I had it 15 years ago… still destroyed it.
I was disappointed that the food wasn’t spectacular but it happens.
They really need to keep those bathrooms clean… it was digusting.

After spending 2 hours in the city driving uptown, downtown, uptown again … And downtown again lol looking for parking on a Sunday because I had a few spots in mind Richie says «I know a great spot just outside of the city. I’ve been there a few times». I checked it out and realized I had the Chart House bookmarked!(excited) it’s super easy to get to and there’s plenty of parking. We did Valet parking and the guy was told to keep the car close, which he did so we got the car as soon as we walked outside.
The restaurant is beautiful, you get a clear view of NYC. Go around sunset when the building lights are coming up. We got a window seat which had the perfect view. The Mango drink was great, along with the Estancia Pinot Grigio. I had the cheese plate since I don’t eat a lot and didn’t feel like being tired after dinner. He got steak that came with a few other things, which was extremely delicious. Now the reason I’m giving this place a 4 start and NOT 5 is because our waiter took forever to return to the table every time and his steak took about 40 mins. I don’t like long waits. It even took a long time to pay the bill but the beautiful view of the city distracted us

Classy restaurant located on the Hudson River overlooking Manhattan in the Weehawken area at Lincoln Harbor. The panoramic views of Manhattan’s skyline including the Empire State Building to Wall Street is quite breathtaking. It’s gets no better than this.
We celebrated my Auntie’s birthday here. She absolutely loved the scenic view, drinks, and food. Service started off with a bang but towards the middle of our dining experience our waitress Kim disappeared. Granted by the time we received our apps CH became crowded but that’s no excuse. Service should match the elegance of the restaurant, on point and thorough.
We started off with the Lobster Bisque, Crab Cake, Kim Chee Calamari, and the Shrimp, Crab, Avocado Mango Stack.
The bisque was creamy although the lobster meat was not heavily present. The calamari was just okay, nothing to write home about. The Shrimp, Crab, Avocado Mango Stack was colorful and full of mouth watering surprises. It was chilled with the perfect accompaniment of sweet and flavorful spoonfuls with each bite.
Entrees consisted of Filet Mignon, Alaskan King Crab Legs, and Baked Stuffed Shrimp. The sides were the Yukon Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Asparagus, Creamed Spinach, and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Everything was presented nicely and tasted amazing.
They even surprised us with two Hot Chocolate Lava Cakes that said «Happy Birthday» to my Auntie. I thought it was a nice touch, albeit I did not particularly care for the chocolate heap of lava. I enjoyed dining here and would recommend it to anyone who is well versed in fine dining.

Was für ein Blick auf die Skyline des Big Apple! Da wird das tolle Essen fast zur Nebensache!

meineserachtens der schönste Platz zum Steak essen in New York mit spektakulärem Blick auf die Skyline im Sundown. Zudem kann man mit der Fähre von Manhattan aus direkt dorthin übersetzen!
