   We have been coming for years and the food is in a serious down spiral. The New York and filet were cold and over done, sides with meal came out 15 minutes after the mains were served. Grilled Mahi Mahi was hard and chewy. Salad bar was great. Server was amazing. View, outstanding.

   Had a great birthday dinner. The view is like no other, and Mazie, our servierwas so patient and helpful to us making our dinner selections. She was attentive throughout our meal and gave us great service. Excellent drinks (pomegranate martini and Basil Yuzu.) Crab cake was filled with lots of crab and well seasoned (though a little undercooked.) The prime rib was excellent as was the Lobster and shrimp carbonara. The carbonara was a little unusual as it was much creamier than usual. It was enough for two so you could split it. The lava cak was delicious (though a little overcooked) and the mud pie was the best we've had. All-in-all a 5 star experience.

   We have been going to Chart House in Monterey for many years. Unfortunately last night may be the last time. The service was slow (20 minutes for a shrimp cocktail?) and just not very good in general. Also it was COLD in the restaurant. For the prices we paid I expected much better. Disappointing

   We had an interesting evening. I’ll start by saying the food was excellent. Through our reservation we were sat at a table so we could view the windows, however it was the furthest table back and we felt in the aisle since my husband kept getting bumped by people walking between the narrow walkway of our table and hallway. Our friendly staffer Desire was kind and took our drink order after about ten minutes. After 30 we still did not have our bar drinks but we did receive an excellent shrimp cocktail. Finally received drinks and entrees including excellent prime rib and filet mignon. We ordered another drink but I changed from a cocktail to wine. The drinks came quicker this time but my drink was incorrect and then completely spilled on the table, me and my husband. We promptly stopped eating and prepared to leave. Manager came and comped one drink for us. We were grateful but left.

    My husbands food was excellent, he had the Filet and Lobster tail, but we both had the Mashed Potatoes, which were served luke warm I would say. I had the Sea Bass (regular item) It was cooked perfectly but the taste was a little fishy. He kindly shared a few bites of his dinner with me. The wine was very good, and the desserts were to to die for, we had the Creme Brulee' flight and the Cheesecake with strawberry sauce. The couple seated behind us were having an issue with their payment and the man talked very loudly throughout our sitting, so sort of spoiled the experience, and I initially was not feeling well when we arrived but after eating I felt better. Needless to say I was hoping for a better experience overall, we had not been to this Chart House for many years, and it seemed for the prices they charge the food should have been beyond excellent.
