    Hans Nielsen the general manager of The Chart House is one of the best there is. I had my wedding there in 1997 and he made it perfect. We came in for dinner last night (27 years later) and the food, ambience and service was AMAZING! Our waiter who was from Belgum was super attentive and always smiling. The Ahi Tuna was THE GREATEST QUALITY OF TUNA I HAVE WVER HAD!! The lobster tails were the way a lobster tail should taste. The filet could not have been better. The experience was a 5 Star plus. It was an evening that far superceded my expectations. The view of the city is remarkable! If you want an out of this world experience go immediately to The Chart House in Weehawkin and please tell Hans that Danielle Bennett sent you 😃

    We went for brunch during the holidays. Service was perfect. Attentive and professional. The food and drinks were awesome. We had peach Bellini’s which were made with a real peach puree. Appetizers we had the Ricotta dip and Fried zucchini- so good especially the Ricotta with honey and crisps. Entrees were delicious and hot. We had affogato for dessert and espresso martinis- both perfect. Very memorable meal!

    I love this place! The guys who run the restaurant are really nice and the staff are thoughtful. They really pay attention. The food is so delicious! My friends and I have made this our celebration restaurant. Only one thing, I left my camera accidentally and called them within the hour and they said they had it so I could come back for it. I thought it was strange that they didn’t call me to tell me that I left it because they had my number from the reservation. When I collected it the next day I realized someone took pictures with the camera of the decorations in the restaurant which is strange but I did get my camera back.
