   It was a wonderful experience. They were very attentive. Only drawback is that it took awhile to get our entrées. I guess they had steaks under heat lights as they were cooked over what was requested. Everyone who ordered steak enjoyed it but mentioned it was cooked longer than requested. We also had large party Final word I would recommend this place. Good food,ambience and service.

   We have not been here recently and was disappointed compared to our past experiences. Our server was personable and told us he was a recent addition to the staff. His lack of training was apparent. His menu knowledge was limited. We ordered oyster Rockefeller which wasn’t on the menu but I called ahead to see if they could be made and was told that it could be done. We ordered them and was served raw oysters. It was corrected. The Caesar salad was not edible because of old slimy greens, definitely not fresh. We didn’t order the salad bar but noticed on the way out that it was not replenished or clean. It took way too long to get a piece of prime rib and a spinach salad which wasn’t served with warm bacon dressing as stated on the menu. It appeared to have come straight from the refrigerator. I had them heat it which took as long as most of my partner had time to eat his meal. Our server wasn’t aware that the meal included dessert.

   We had a 7:30 PM reservation but we were not seated until a little after 8:30. I had checked in with the hostess at eight and was told we would be seated next, but we still had to wait another half hour. I have been to many Chart House restaurants over the years but this was my first time at this location and it was not a good experience at all. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation but had to wait standing for over a hour before being called. Once seated, we had to request several times to get napkins and water. The appetizers were good and so was the lobster bisque. The entrées, however, took almost 2 hours to get and the mahi was way over cooked and the Chilean Sea bass came out raw. The prime rib was a little overcooked, but was good. They took the fish back to remake it, but it took them over an hour to get two pieces of fish to the table. It was a few minutes after 11 PM when we finally got the check. We still had not gotten the fish and were leaving the table when the waiter arrived with the fish. We were going to leave without them, but they showed up as we were walking out and they packaged them to go. It should never take 3 1/2 hours to be seated and get your food at any restaurant and others were experiencing the same problems with the service and food.

   Waited 25 minutes past my reservation time to be seated. Service was about as well as you would've expected when the server is waiting on more tables than usual. My wife ordered Lobster Bisque and I ordered the New England Clam Chowder. Both were served cold. It is beyond me how soup could be served cold. Entrees came out and hot. Mahi was great. My wife's filet mignon was also good. A little disappointing but to be expected with the number of guests who were dining on Christmas Day.

   Food in this location really hasn't recovered since COVID in my opinion. Salad was just OK, main course was good although they ran out of lobster tails which is what my wife ordered. My wife asked for her dessert to go and the server packed everyone's up. While I am sure the server was tired since our seating wasn't until 7:15, he still didn't seem to be as professional and attentive as the Chart House price point deserves. Bathroom downstairs was closed due to a plumbing back up. We have eaten in this location for holidays and special occasions off and on for 25+ years but I am not sure I would go back. Locations really needs a freshening up and server training.

   We had a nice experience for Christmas Day. The place was packed but well organized and our server Zack was great. The food was very good, would definitely go back for a holiday meal or any meal. It was wonderful not to cook or clean on a holiday for a change!

    Excellent choice for the 2 of us for Christmas. Food was excellent, service was perfect. Noise low enough that we could have a conversation. My now favorite restaurant for special occasions.
