Chart House was the perfect place for us to have our last dinner of 2024! The ambiance was jammin with great tunes and lots of people out. I ordered an old fashioned to get things started and wow was it a generous pour! We decided to start with the cream of crab soup and butternut squash salad. The soup had lots of lump crab and was a great start. We then had the eye of eye the ribeye and Chilean sea bass. Wow!!! The sea bass was cooked and seared to perfection with perfect flakiness and the lobster risotto was amazing. And the ribeye was cooked and seared with a nice char on outside and perfectly medium rare on the inside. The mashed potatoes was delicious and nice and garlicky. And to finish was had the key like pie and mini lava cake. There were even fireworks over the water at 9pm right as we were starting our main course. Amazing night!!! read more

Very busy place, though it was Valentine's Day. I assume it's probably bustling most days. The ambiance was great and included a dj. Very spacious restaurant with plenty of seating. I started with a glass of wine and the smoke + luge. The beef tartare was nice, though I wished it had a tad more seasoning. The bone marrow butter was a nice touch. I followed with the monarch margarita that was quite delicious and refreshing. My last dish was the belly + the beast. The pork belly was good, however the sauce crystallized a bit in some areas, so it was a little hard to chew at times. Wished the flavor was slightly spicier, but it was fine. The charred octopus with the chimichurri wasn't as good as I had hoped. The octopus was cooked perfectly, however I wished there was a touch of citrus or other flavor (chimichurri was very herbaceous). The sweet peppers were a nice touch. Overall, a busy place with a great view that most likely will require reservations, unless you get there at the right time. read more

Food, top quality from the starters to the main course. Teaa (waiters) explained everything making this an unforgettable experience. Orderded the Infused and Fogged drink and let's say more like an experience. The drink was properly made, flavored, and just as described, smoothed the gyn to the point of enjoyment. Ambiance, area and plenty space between parties, allowed for a great time, lighting and the view was just as expected, seaworthy. Will return for sure, that Clam Chowder was something especial. read more

Always love going to Chart House. Staff goes above and beyond. Food is beautifully presented and many unique flavor profiles. I have never been disappointed with Chart House. The room is spacious and high ceilings like in a boathouse. It's not too loud and the house dj does a great job with choosing music that flows. read more

First time at Chart House in Annapolis. We had a gift certificate from a friend, which is the main reason we went. My wife and I both had the 10oz prime rib - medium rare. Both came out grayish-brown and bland. There was nothing special or enjoyable about it. The dish comes with garlic potatoes which had way too much garlic and was inedible. We also ordered the crispy brussel sprouts which were overly sweet and crushed - not handled very well. Even the bread was boring. The only item that was ok was the Ceasar salad. On the other hand, the service was very good. We liked our waitress. However, we won't be back. Yes, the view was nice, but not even close to being worth the $165 for two (includes tip). read more

Sarah was our server, she was wonderful very attentive, professional and made our celebration enjoyable. The food was delicious and of course the setting was beautiful. I would recommend Chart House highly and especially Sarah. read more

My wife and I recently brought my parents here to celebrate my dad's retirement, and I still think about how incredible the experience was. We were served by Gio, and from the moment we sat down, everything felt unhurried and thoughtful. We never once felt rushed or overlooked--in fact, he made us feel like the only table in the restaurant. Gio has that rare mix of attentiveness, warmth, and genuine presence that instantly puts you at ease. He took the time to talk with us, celebrate this milestone with my dad, and made the entire evening feel personal. As we were leaving, Gio realized it was drizzling outside and offered to walk my dad to the car with an umbrella. We initially declined, but he insisted in the kindest way--and sure enough, he walked alongside my dad, making sure he stayed completely dry. It was a gesture we'll never forget. It really showed how much care goes into the experience here. The assistant manager, Akeem, also stopped by our table to acknowledge my dad's retirement and made him feel like the coolest person in the room. You could tell how much that meant to my parents, and how genuine the care was from the entire team. This wasn't our first time here--my wife and I usually come for our anniversaries--and it's exactly why we chose this restaurant for such an important family moment. We'll absolutely be back and can't wait to return. If you're looking for a place where the food is excellent but the service is truly next level, this is it. P.S. Sorry to have taken so long to write the review. read more

Don't waste your money, but more importantly your time and sanity! As a longtime Santa Barbara resident and former loyal patron of the original Chart House location, I came into this evening with high expectations and a sense of nostalgia. Unfortunately, what was meant to be a meaningful sendoff dinner for my daughter, who is heading to the U.S. Naval Academy, turned into a night of disappointment, frustration, and embarrassment. From the moment we walked in, it was clear something was off. The hostess was visibly sweating--because the place isn't adequately air-conditioned. That set the tone. Once seated, it took far too long to receive even a glass of water. Bread didn't arrive for over an hour, and only after we reminded the staff. Water glasses remained empty unless we flagged someone down. The service was inattentive at best and completely neglectful at worst. Our dinner--two appetizers, two entrées, and one side--took so long to arrive that we nearly closed the place down. We were seated at 7:30 PM and were still waiting on food well into the evening. This wasn't a multi-course tasting menu--it was a simple order that any properly managed kitchen could have executed with ease. To their credit, the Alaskan king crab was outstanding. But the New York strip? Unremarkable and far from the caliber expected at these prices. For what this restaurant charges, the experience was nothing short of unconscionable. It's like being robbed in plain sight--paying fine dining prices for what feels like a second-rate operation. Chart House used to represent quality and consistency. Today, it's a joke. A sad shell of what it once was. If you're considering spending your hard-earned money here, don't. Annapolis has far better options where service is valued and guests are treated with basic respect. read more

Service was phenomenal and the food was exceptional - especially the crab legs! We were the only ones celebrating a birthday on Mother's Day and the staff made it so special even on a busy holiday. Our server (Scott) and the manager (Tia) and the host team took such great care of us. We will be back! read more

Well, I'll make it quick and not so sweet. The service was horrible. Waited 1/2 hr for drinks and menus. Another hr for appetizers and another 45 minutes for our meals. Arrived 1:15 left at 4:45. To put the cherry on top my wife got food poisoning on Mother's Day. They had a set menu which they were charging premium prices for. We've been eating here for years but the last few visits have been less than stellar. Will probably be our last visit here. read more

We enjoyed a two day getaway in Annapolis and my husband booked reservations here as our main date night dinner. It came highly recommended online and by friends. We arrived early for our reservation and sat at the bar - it was very busy but the bartenders were quick to greet us. Our table was ready quickly so we didn't order a beverage here but could see this as a nice place to enjoy a pre or post dinner cocktail. The atmosphere is upscale with white tablecloths and dark exposed beams, grand and modern chandeliers, and cozy fireplaces throughout. The lighting is perfectly dim, casting light from the fireplaces to make diners relaxed and looking their best in the glow of the fire...a plus for photos! I began with the Not an "old" fashioned - their old fashioned. It was simply perfect. Balanced and delicious and highly recommended if you enjoy bourbon. Our appetizer was the crab cake served over a soft shell and sliced tomato. One word - DIVINE. It was just so tasty and an ample portion to share. We also ordered the crab dip. It was decadent - rich and creamy with a bit of spice on the finish. It was served with a mini baguette. For dinner, I ordered the herb-crusted 10 oz prime rib and my husband ordered the heart of the ribeye - 10 ounces. Both ordered medium rare. Sides ordered were creamed spinach and double cheese-bacon potatoes. My prime rib came our first along with the spinach. Followed in seconds by the ribeye and potatoes. My prime rib unfortunately arrived raw. It was cold all around with not a hint of herbed crust and the smell of raw meat was strong. I touched it to see if it was at all warm, which it was not. Our server came right over and noticed that it wasn't cooked to my request. She took it back to the kitchen. So it wouldn't be enjoyed cold, I insisted that my husband enjoy his. He did and he really liked it. It was perfectly prepared, lightly seasoned, and he ate every bite. My prime rib was brought back and it was obvious that they flashed it as it was overly cooked throughout and tough. They took it back and prepared a new cut for me. Unfortunately, it too arrived just not prepared right. By this time the sides were cold as well. I took a few bites and really didn't want to make an issue of it. We had a lovely day so far and the appetizer was so yummy. The staff was great and accommodating without me even having to ask up to this point. They were also working very hard as it was the day after Christmas and they were busy! So, we simply moved on. Dessert time!! Hot Chocolate Lava Cake was ordered in advance as it takes some time to prepare. It was rich and decadent. Ice cream and heath bar topped the sinful delight. Definitely a winner. At the conclusion of our meal, the GM came over and apologized for the prime rib and acknowledged that it wasn't acceptable. She noted that we didn't get to enjoy the dinner together or sides due to timing. She kindly and without prompting removed the prime and sides from our bill. We were grateful and really impressed with the service and the communication from our server to management, even though we never complained. The team clearly takes pride in their jobs and in how their customers enjoy the experience. I am confident that the prime rib issues were just a fluke and don't represent their best. I'd try it again and we will definitely go back. Even when something goes not 100% right, you can still have a 5 star experience. As customers, it's important to understand that and give grace. We had a lovely date night and experience and look forward to dining at Chart House Prime again. read more

I was in town made reservations and realized we were at the other location. I called to see if we were able to push our reservation and they were very accommodating. There was a short wait when we arrived. The atmosphere was amazing. I felt like I had the best seat in the house. We sat right by the fire and right behind the Dj who played a very good mix. Aiden was our server and he was top tier he gave the best service! I definitely will request him when I come back. Drinks: pomegranate tequila lemon drop 10/10 tiki 10/10 espresso martini 10/10 Food: blackened sea bass 10/10 side of shrimp 7/10 lobster risotto 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND creamy spinach 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dessert: cheesecake with strawberry 10/10 I camt forget the bathroom had a nice vibe as well there was a candle lit and a cart with feminine products. I love that. Overall an amazing experience, phenomenal food. We had one mishap and they were so quick with fixing it and making sure we were happy! read more

Really good food, atmosphere & service. The rolls were phenomenal and fresh. Only advice is to expand your ingredient list for drinks - they didn't have lychee which was shocking for a full service bar serving seafood, which is normal to have with lychee martini! overall 10/10! Will return. read more

We went to Chart House Prime the first time for my son's birthday. We made a reservation ahead of time, however we still need to wait for 30 mins to be seated. Then it took another 15-20mins bread. Is on memorial weekend, they said that they are short staff. I felt like the management could do some work here. High end restaurants, shouldn't let customers waited for 30 mins if you have reservations. The service is extremely slow. On the other hand, the food is really good. And the restaurant is beautiful. I think I might try one more time and hopefully will be better next time read more

For the past 20+ years (except for the short period when this restaurant was closed after flood damage back in 2003), we have taken our daughter to dinner at this Chart House for her birthday in December. This year was her 30th, and we were really looking forward to this dinner. For context, our family (adult "kids", their spouses, their kids, etc) is a pretty big party -- these dinner reservations are typically for 6-10 people. Last night our reservation was for eight plus a baby - and I made the reservation roughly 3 weeks in advance. When I made the reservation, I was told that I couldn't get all of us together at the same table - but we would have two adjacent tables. Early on the day of the dinner, I called the restaurant to let them know that our grandson (the baby) was sick - so our reservation would be for 7 instead of 8 + baby. I figured that was considerate (for the restaurant's management and other patrons), and I again asked about being put together at one "table," but I was told that we'd still be at two adjacent tables on this special birthday. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly of this review - now that you have the context. (1) Yes, two tables. BUT... despite being told earlier that day, and despite being told we'd be adjacent at the hostess table -- No, not adjacent. No, not the same server. The second table was sufficiently far away that we couldn't see our daughter - and obviously could not communicate other than by TEXTING across the restaurant. Also - there were tables that "flipped" literally 5-10 minutes after we were seated that WERE adjacent to our 4-top... We would have been happy to have waited 10 minutes to make that happen... (2) Yes, the food was very good. We ordered both seafood and beef. Speaking for myself, my blacked Ahi was sublime - simply amazing. My son-in-law couldn't say enough good things about his prime rib, and others at our table loved the seafood that they ordered. BUT... when ordering, we asked if there were any specials that night, and we were told that "it" was sold out - Really?.... at 6:15pm? (3) Ambiance? Well.... Wow... the music was loud. This isn't a bar in downtown Annapolis - it is a restaurant, where I'm spending about $500 for dinner. As such, it was difficult to talk across a 4-top table. Also, I can honestly say that I never expected to hear AC/DC played at dinner at THIS restaurant. Are there times when I'd love to hear AC/DC... Yes. Then? No. BUT.... the holiday decorations were very nice. (4) Service? Well... while our servers were pleasant and professional, they were very busy, and the resulting service was sub par for our tables. For comparison, on our 40th anniversary in August at this restaurant, the service was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about that service experience - so, it should be said that this restaurant CAN do much better. On this occasion, however, the server that seated us, took our orders, brought us our drinks, and we seldom saw her again. I think she was pulled to help with another table(s) (maybe the private party?). Consequently, I was never asked if I wanted a second drink. At the end of dinner, we had been told that the two servers for our two tables would coordinate, but it didn't seem like they were talking at all (especially when I was trying to pay). I hustled across the restaurant, collecting two bills, giving two tips, etc... That could have gone so much easier. With all of that said, I'd have to say that the title of this review should be, "Disappointed." read more

Nine years later, and my original criticism remains: Chart House still suffers from multiple personality disorder. On Saturday evening, I was looking forward to an upscale dinner on the water, but things started off inauspiciously when Chart House seated me (after my reserved time) in the bar-adjacent area. I was then treated to the musical selections of DJ "Track Playa," and while cacophonies like Sabrina Carpenter's club remix assailed my ears, I sat in increasing darkness as the sun set with nothing but disquieting blue light emitting from the restaurant's sparse lamps. Several nearby patrons had to use the flashlight functions of their phones to illuminate menus, and the staff confessed that they have trouble seeing during food delivery. Chart House: please increase the brightness of the lights (and get rid of the blue) during dinner time. Nobody wants to eat a $500 dinner In Da Club, but if we're forced to, we'd at least like to see our food. read more

Went here for a co-worker's going away, the food was good and plenty. It is on the "pricey" side but as one expect when you visit a high end place. I'm not a big seafood eater (yes I know it's surf & turf place - but this was the choice of the honoree). So I found it kind of hard to choose something I wanted - but ended up getting a wedge salad which was quite good. And chicken with potatoes (sorry I can't recall the name). Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It is right by the water and there is no designated parking for the place, you will need to make sure you arrive in time to find a spot in the lot across the street. I suppose you do get what you paid for - I would recommend to those who want to go someplace different and try something new. read more

Waited for over an hour. Had a reservation for 6 pm Dec 13 which was made in February. They were so packed people were siting for HOURS, and people left without being seated because they were no help in even trying to seat anyone. No accommodations. People EVERYWHERE. The manager at six PM on Dec 13 was walking around making small talk with the regulars barely even doing anything. They need to plan better when they know times will be bus. They are poorly managed, it's a shame me and my family truly liked this restaurant and have been here many times. No one was happy and were just waiting for people to finally leave. I do not recommend this restaurant if you are not okay with eating 1-4 hours. read more

Absolutely fabulous my favorite restaurant in AnnapolisI brought my wife for our first date 40 years ago and I've never been disappointed.

Chart House has a great happy hour (I go for the food), so I stopped by to treat myself. I started with firecracker shrimp which comes with a side of crisp rice noodles. It's tempura fried, lightly breaded, coated with kimchi sauce, & it's yummy. It's supposed to be spicy but it's not which is I'm fine for me. The prime lip sliders are delicious. They are melt in your mouth good. Just a right amount of horseradish, a little bit of cheese, caramelized onions, lots of thinly slice to meat, lightly toasted bread, & au jus. They only gave me one small container of au jus, so I would definitely recommend getting two. read more

I was with a large party for a meeting. They had about 5 wait staff for us. They were attentive .All of them were great..1 Hispanic woman had a very heavy accent so we had to constantly repeat what ever we asked her. When she would respond back we had to have her repeat herself,but she did get it right.A mixed green sald was good and cut into smaller portion so as to not have a half of a lettuce leaf stuck to your fork. The dressing and heirloom tomatoes were a great combination.We ordered the medium sirloin, and sides. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was a little dry but was very good. The sauce they had with it was a good addition. The lumpy potatoes were good. Inside is designed very nice with plenty of bottles of wine. They also had a sushi bar sitting in the middle of the entrance area. We will try something else like the king salmon next time.. read more

Chart House Prime - Roasted lamb chops with carrots & parsnip puree was fantastic! - Seafood Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Our table of two couples arrived on time for our 4:30 reservation on a Sunday. The restaurant was only about 2/3rds full during our 2 1/2 hr visit. There were problems with the food and service. I had the tomahawk Wagyu steak. It was clearly sliced without resting, so that most of the steak's juices had run out and was on the serving platter. I ordered it medium rare, but it was served rare. Further, the 32 ounce steak was undersized. Very disappointing. Others ordered the rockfish with crab. That was served under seasoned and bland. The fourth entree was not available (scallops with bourbon peach sauce). We were not informed of this problem until the other entrees were almost ready to be served. The substitute entree was limited. The appetizers and wine were the highlight of the meal. We had the calamari and crab dip. Desserts were good, but very slow to be delivered. It was clear that the restaurant was understaffed based on the service and upkeep of the restaurant. For example, the men's room had an overflowing trash container. We were having a special celebration. I could not recommend this for a full meal. Drinks and appetizers would be fine if that's all you wanted. read more

Loved this restaurant. This was our first stop for dinner when we got to Annapolis. The vibe is fantastic, the tall ceilings, ocean view and the Christmas decor were outstanding and made this a lovely experience. The Caesar salad was so amazing, served in a hardened cheese bowl and with peppers, among other things, we raved about the salad. The cream of crab soup was also very good- a little salty but very good nonetheless. The Eye of Ribeye was cooked to perfection, and was so so tasty. I added a crab cake which was okay, it came in some sauce which I would've preferred to have on the side but the crab cake itself was fantastic. The only reason this didn't get 5 stars was slow service. Our waiter took a long time to offer us refills, forgot to bring our bread until after the meal while we were doing dessert cocktails. Speaking of dessert cocktails, we tried the soufflé espresso martini. It's kind of an experience for the price of the drink. They make a frothy whipped topping at the table and pour it over the drink itself which gives you something to eat with a spoon while drinking the cocktail. I personally didn't love the froth, but it was tasty and a cool experience. Overall, very pleased. The food and atmosphere are fantastic! read more

I had such an exquisite time here. What a way to bring in the New Year's. Everything was delicious, from the warm bread and 3 dipping choices, to the cream of crab soup, the Lambchops were cooked to perfection and juicy to the most creamiest mash potatoes I have ever tasted. The Crispy Calamari was the best I have ever had. The cherry cheesecake and chocolate lava cake was perfection. I always finish off my meal with an espresso martini, very "Impressive" lol. Plus the Butterfly Effect Cocktail was so beautiful to watch being made. The atmosphere was chic and relaxing. And that ocean view, oh my. I will definitely be back to try more fabulous dinner options. read more

It could and should have been much better. With family in from out west, a nice brunch by the water in Annapolis we thought, would be a great idea. Wrong. We have been to Chart House's across the US but not to the Annapolis location in many years. While we had a reservation and arrived about 7 minutes before, we were told our table was being set up. When it was past our reservation time, we were told again our table was being set up. There were about 20 seated parties in the restaurant, so setting up a table should not have taken 10+ minutes with a reservation. Strike one. Our server was pleasant enough, but the table we sat at (7 in the party) was tight for us to fit in. We ordered our brunch items. As non-alcoholic drinkers, most ordered Iced tea. When they arrived, we could see right through the glasses. They were so watered down in appearance and taste. Even the refills were the same. It's almost as if they were short on tea bags and were stretching what they had. Strike two. When the supporting staff placed our meals down, they noted the plates were hot. When we tasted our brunch items, 6 noticed that while their plates were hot, the food was not. The 7th was served a cold plate because of the item. We had to ask for water refreshes 2x during the meal as some of us didn't drink the watered-down iced tea. Based on other reviews, dinner seems the better meal to choose. If searching for a brunch location, look for another one. Nothing we ordered was exceptional in flavor or worth returning for...so, Strike 3. Water views don't make that much of a difference if the meal is not enjoyable and you leave frustrated after the dining 'experience.' UPDATE: A few days later, at a great Italian restaurant in DC where our party met up again for another meal, all suggested i amendment my review from 2 stars to 1. They were still, days later, dissatisfied with the meal and experience. read more
