    Went on Thanksgiving and though we did not have turkey for dinner the experience was fantastic and the service was just wonderful. Great food, friendly staff, what more could you want. Our table was perfect in a quieter area surrounded by glass, perfect for my hard of hearing father who is 95 years old. Just the perfect evening!

    Our Thanksgiving dinner experience at Chart House in Cardiff was sensational! From the exceptional service (shout out to our server, Raye) to the outstanding food and ambiance, we were truly impressed. There was a price fixe menu for the holiday (at a reasonable price compared to most places in town), and the turkey entree was excellent. The turkey was moist and plentiful, the stuffing tasted just like mom's, there was a choice of potato, a vegetable, and cranberry sauce. Everything on the plate tasted so good, just like your traditional Thanksgiving, and my husband thought the serving size was very generous. The price fixe menu also included your choice of starter and dessert. The lobster bisque and kale salad were both wonderful. There were also about 9 other entrees to choose from. I had the filet and shrimp combo and it was absolutely delicious; prepared to perfection. The restaurant was packed. Be sure to get your reservation early next year. I highly recommend it!

    Reservation is as easy and there was no wait, ambience was perfect, food was great and service was excellent. Three of us had the prime rib (very tasty and cooked to perfection), one had the mahi mahi and loved it, and the other one had a vegan dish and very happy with it. We shared the calamari and Brussels sprouts and had the hula pie, peanut butter torte, pumpkin pie - all excellent. Thank you for staying open for Thanksgiving.
