What more could you ask from a restaurant? Great food, great service, full bar. Happy from beginning to end of my meal. They have an amazing view right on the beach. I have to stop here atleast once a month, I recommend anybody try the Lava Cake, I'm not much for dessert but its truly amazing. There may be a wait so its always best to call in advance and make a reservation. Perfect place to take a date as well. 10/10 in my opinion.

Location is beautiful, be prepared for a long wait with a reservation for poor service and average food. We had a reservation at 6:30 on a Saturday night. We asked the staff when we arrived for a window table, they said the wait would be 10 minutes and that we would get the next window table. We waited for 50 minutes and they gave the table to someone who came in after us. When we asked about our table, their solution was to put us on the patio with a view of the rocks and partial ocean next to a baby. It went down hill from there. The drinks came out in shifts, the appetizers arrived at different times as well as our entrees. The service was extremely slow and the food was just average. Very disappointed!!! It appears they don't care about repeat business.

I had been a big fan of the charthouse for the past 15 year, coming here regularly for seafood until last year. Went again this week on a week night, had made a reservation. They could not find my reservation when we arrived, but still had a much coveted window table for us. Great, when was the last time we managed to get a window seat? But then nothing but bad things happened. Although there were plenty of waiters, and the restaurant was less than half full, we waited forever for everything. The drinks came after the first course was served. We had appetizers, salad and seafood, beef and chicken entrees. The octopus appetizer was very greasy and without any taste, they serve a very spicy sauce with it to cover that up. The salad was wilted and awful, the poached salmon tasted like someone had tried to season it with Hamburger Helper. I cannot believe they charge these prices for this below mediocre food. All the time, the waitress was never to be found, only cruised once by the table within reach. They obviously think that they are still living off a good reputation and the great location. Not for me anymore. That was my last visit to that place, even the gorgeous view was ruined by the terrible restaurant experience. Get it much cheaper sitting on the beach with a take out picnic from a good store.
