    The Chart House continues to deliver one of San Diego Counties elite beachside dining experiences! Being "eye level" with the surf, waves within feet of the dining room, surfers, beachcombers and seagulls energizing the North Coast vibe and then, those sunsets! We love it!

    My daughter was visiting from a recent move to NYC and this was where she chose to go for our farewell dinner together. Service was very attentive and fun. Food was excellent and she loved it. She has not been since too young to really appreciate the experience. Now her favorite !!

    Great place to watch sports for sure. Cocktails and beer selection is fantastic! We had crab cakes for an appetizer, outstanding. The shrimp and grits is very authentic New Orleans style. Great burger too. We are adding this to our rotation.
