    It has been awhile since I've been to Chart House. Everything was top notch!! Our sever was Leslie, she was amazing. She was attentive and professional. We were having a business dinner and she was amazing, she asked if we were ready to order and we were not, she respectfully gave us time. Made sure we had drinks and checked in with us until we were ready to order, we never felted rushed. Food was delicious and well priced. I am coming back next month...

    Great bartender/cocktails with creativity. Treated super well by server and GM who presented a complimentary bottle of champagne to celebrate a very special occasion! Meals were wonderful from the soup to sandwiches to eggs benedict to dessert! All amazing and let me say the price is SO WORTH IT! You would pay the same for ordinary restaurants and this one is EXTRAORDINARY! Enjoy.
