    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 It was an evening that far superceded my expectations.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 😃

    This place is very cute to go out with your girls! Super pleasing to the eye but you definitely need a reservation I don’t believe it’s smart to just walk in to be honest but other than that everything was amazing! I loved the Alfredo pasta!
