    We went here to celebrate my son's and DIL's birthdays and we were all glad we did. My son made a great choice. He enjoyed the prime rib once again, I loved the shrimp linguini, my husband enjoyed his crab stuffed sole, and my DIL loved her seafood bouillabaisse. Our appetizers were tasty, too - hummus and the crispy, spicy tuna. The atmosphere is very relaxing and located at a great spot along the water. Such a nice touch - the added birthday boy's name on the menu. Too cute! In the area? Check Them Out! PS The Sangria was tasty and the beer was nice and cold. The bread basket made everyone happy, too! LoL

    Christmas dinner was good. Unfortunately I wasn't hungry so I didn't get at it like I wanted to but what I had was better than I thought it would be when I saw it. I honestly forgot what I ordered when it came out and I was confused as to what it was when I saw them bringing it until they told me what it was. Once I tasted it, I was completely surprised by the taste and that I enjoyed it so much. That's a slice of tomato that they put the crab cake on. That tomato was cooked to add the right amount of flavor to the crabcake when eaten together although I ate half together and half separately because it was so good that I wanted both experiences. I should've started with the drink because it came first and it was the feature of my night but they say you should save the best for last. If you like chocolate and bourbon or any type of whiskey, you will likely love this drink. You can taste the chocolate in the drink but it isn't overpowering and it doesn't make the drink too sweet. Next time I will see if they can smoke it. I did say next time because I do have to come back and try a meal since I only had an app however, I will say that this app was in the shareable section and I just can't see how you share one crabcake. It was good but it wasn't large enough to share, especially since it was good. It was good enough to share but only large enough for one (of me).

    Seafood linguini
    Jocelyn D.

    It's been 6 years since we dined at Chart House. We had a late lunch Saturday, March 14, 2026 & to our surprise the quality freshness of both the seafood & steak was outstanding‼. Definitely recommend Chart House. I intentionally gave 4 stars bc when we entered there was no line yet the 3 employees behind the host area desk were busy having a conversation & didn't stop until my husband asked if we could have a table for two. Also there was a male young Caucasian server that didn't speak in a mild voice, rather more like a blow horn that waited on a table next to us (thankfully our server was not like that).

    I came across thos place while being a tourist in Alexandria. The restaurant is huge and beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was just okay and so were the drinks. I did recommend this place to my husband who took 5 clients out that might and they all loved it!

    The team at the restaurant was amazing. Our server was so attentive and the team gave us special birthday menus. As much as I wanted to love the food, it just wasn't the best. But love the views of the restaurant right next to the waterfront!

    We had a reservation for 2:15 on a Friday and were seated right away but it wasn't very busy. We got the ceviche and the beet chips were awesome with it. Light, crisp with a good flavor that paired well with it. I do wish there was more quantity with this dish. My entree was salmon. It was really good and the orzo was flavorful. We had a nice water view at our table by the window. Our server was Bob and he was great.

    Shrimp Tacos w/ fresh sweet potato fries
    Dee W.

    I haven't been to Chart House in years until just a few days ago for lunch. The restaurant ambiance was calm and inviting. Our server, Elle, was friendly and accommodating. I ordered the shrimp tacos which were good, but could have used a little more shrimp and possibly a salsa. The sweet potato fries were freshly cut and fried to perfection with a hint of salt. I would order my meal again. Others I had lunch with indicated their meals were good as well, especially the crab cake sandwich, clam chowder and fish and chips. The weather was nice so there was a great view to enjoy and socialize by. If you're in Olde Town check them out.

    Black miso cod
    Rachel W.

    This place has a wonderful selection of seafood and a nice view of the harbor. I had the black miso cod and the fish & veggies tasted very fresh. Also enjoyed the sauce that was given to pour over it. The one thing it could have used was a touch of course salt for finishing. Our server Cameron was super friendly and personable. The restaurant has a very classic look akin to fine dining waterfront restaurants. Very enjoyable experience.

    Lemon herb salmon with potatoes
    Doreen B.

    It is my birthday and we made our reservation a month in advance because it is Valentine's Day as well. Got here 10 minutes before the time and check in and there was a wait. The restaurant is old and in need of an upgrade. There was no ambience. The salmon was just ok, the table next to us returned her meal twice. I gave my waiter my knife because it was dirty and he never brought a clean one back. I had to asked the server who delivered the salmon for a knife. This was a first and last visit for me. Nothing to write home about.

    shrimp & grits
    Aruni G.

    While in the area for my friend's son's graduation from the Naval Academy over Memorial Weekend, we met up with one of my cousins in the area for brunch/lunch after we went to Arlington Cemetery. The weather was beautiful. They didn't have outside seating available but were able to fairly quickly seat us inside with a window view of the water. We enjoyed the food and the view. Service was quick and helpful. There were many good choices on the menu and I'm glad we tried the crab items in addition to shrimp & grits and chicken & waffles.

    Brunch PRIME RIB HASH + EGGS (shaved prime rib | hash browns | bell peppers | onions). This cost $27.
    LaShanta H.

    I went here for brunch today. The menu selections are uninspired and much too expensive. The restaurant and the location are both gorgeous. And the service from Caleb was exceptional. He was very kind and attentive and professional and helpful and patient. He did an outstanding job. But the food was terrible. This prime rib hash dish seemed like it was made up of leftover items that were in the kitchen this morning. And it cost 27 dollars!! It was made of the same type of meat that is used in cheesesteaks. But less meat. They should be ashamed of themselves. And the cheddar waffles were dry and flavorless and not good at all. The only item that was passable was the calamari. But that was cold. The flavor was great and the sauce in the top was good. But it was cold. They need to do better.

    I am incredibly shocked to see this place only has 3.5 stars. I did not check Yelp before coming here, which I usually do, and I usually only pick restaurants with 4+ stars due to experience. I am glad this was a fluke because this places deserves FIVE STARS. Everything was fabulous. Our waitress Caroline was very sweet, attentive, and helpful. We brought our small kid and he got a birthday Sunday at the end with a candle. The hostess was wonderful and allowed us to sit at a table next to the window over the water. The inside was very elegant with a low ambiance. Low lights and clothed tables. The bar was fabulous and had amazing cocktail options. The menu, in my opinion, was not overpriced. The prices were fair for seafood and the experience and worth every dime. They had a great selection for the kids menu. We ordered the Mac and cheese with the broccolini, which was a nice size! I ordered the shellfish dish with scallops, shrimp, and mussels. It typically comes as a boil with bread, but our waitress recommended adding pasta, which was a fantastic choice! The sauce was amazing and light. It was very light but flavorful. The seafood was cooked excellent. You also get starter bread, which was delicious. The crackers and pumpernickel bread were a fan favorite. The butter was fluffy and the bread added perfectly to my dish. I also ordered a small side of the asparagus, which came with a decent portion and was cooked with melted butter and bread crumbs. My boyfriend had the meal with a clam chowder (could choose salad), the prime rib with mashed potatoes, and a lava cake. The clam chowder was excellent. Not fishy and very creamy. All the potatoes, veggies, and clam were small sizes not large chunks. It was amazing. The lava cake was PHENOMENAL. By far one of my favorite desserts. I would order this as a stand alone it was so good. It was perfectly molten with chocolate sauce and nuts on top. It had a crust with a gooey inside. Truly a fantastic experience and would come back!

    Mariella M.

    This place was great! Service was okay, but I get it they were busy, so I didn't take any stars off. Food was on point! Like usual. Noise level was a bit loud but not to the point where you couldn't have a conversation with your meal guest. Overall will come back and I recommend you come too!

I ordered the mushrooms lasagna and it was just OK...very bland...& lacked flavor... The noodles were also a bit over cooked. I wasn't expecting crispy noodles. The sides were very good. We went with Brussels sprouts minus the bacon and the roasted sweet potatoes. Was a perfect date night. Perfect restaurant for date night, girls/guys nights out... Check them out! I'm glad we did.

Lots of wood and dark colors. Great service from Shawn. We tried the Ribeye and NY Strip. Both were ok. Not much seasoning. Lots of marbling. Both had significant sections of fat. For me, wasn't the best cut for either. Both were ok steaks. We had the fries and cream corn. The fries are made with a beef fat. Tasty. The cream corn has a lot of cheese on top and throughout (see pic). That wasn't a favorite for me. Was more like a mac and cheese. Pricing was for a Ruth Chris experience but fell flat on delivery. As an example, went to The Wharf a few days later and had their NY strip, with crab cake, and sides all for the same price. It was a much superior cut of steak and the flavors were fantastic.

It was delicious too! I don't even like oysters, but I liked these. Next came the Betty's buns and beet salad. The beet salad is such an interesting preparation with ricotta, raw and cooked beets, some herbs, orange segments and pistachios. I really enjoyed the brightness of the dish. And who doesn't love a good warm bun with butter? The entrees were really beautifully plated and delicious too. The catfish was our favorite with a delicious broth, poured table-side. I've never had a bison steak before - but this one was perfectly cooked with cippolini onions, chimichurri and sweet potatoes. The plating on everything was absolutely gorgeous. And for dessert - a spongy apple cider cake and creamy chocolate cremeux. I don't even like apples, but this cake was amazing. It had beautiful accompaniments as well. And the chocolate cremeux was served with beautifully poached pears and cranberries. We loved both. Our waiter kept our water glasses full, knew all the details about the menu and was so pleasant and prompt. Absolutely love it here!!!

The red sauce wasn't seasoned & the crabmeat was questionable. I was shocked to see a spiny lobster in my entree instead of a regular lobster. My lobster was mushy and had to be replaced. The 1/2 piece of bread pudding and cup of strawberries was alright. I appreciate the manager for what she did to fix the problems, but the quality of the food unfortunately has gone down.
