    Grilled Salmon - with chopped avocado
    Ana A.

    The food was great ! I was not expecting the plates of the appetizers to be so much! Ordered three appetizers and all were tasty and fresh ! The dinner plates were good as well but I do feel for what we ordered it was overpriced. Service was good but needs a little bit of more effort when it comes to making sure everything is good- The view is breathtaking and to be able to see the whole San Antonio before sun set is perfection- I do recommend, but choose wisely and make sure to read other reviews to make sure your pickings are the right ones.

    I mean you come here for the view and the ambiance. The food is pretty high quality when it comes to fish, king crab, sides, salads, etc. Pretty much anything you have will be fulfilling. The service used to be wonderful years ago. It seems to be going downhill, lots more younger people working here that don't exactly carry the same old school hospitality the Chart House used to have and needs.

    Tomato and Burrata
    Darlene K.

    We visited Chart House primarily for the views, and the appetizers really set a strong tone for the meal. We had the tomato and burrata, which was phenomenal--my parents' first time trying burrata, and they couldn't stop talking about how much they loved it. The tomato preparation was incredibly flavorful and well executed. The kimchi calamari is also something my husband and I always order. While I'd describe the flavor more as a sriracha/gochujang-style profile than traditional kimchi, it's still very tasty. The crispness was light, airy, and perfectly done. Unfortunately, the experience changed with the entrées. The price for the entrées was not worth it considering the quality we received. It felt like the kitchen was overwhelmed, and the mains had likely been held under a heat lamp too long. There was no glisten on any of the proteins, and everything arrived dry and overcooked rather than fresh. The mahi, in particular, was very dry and stringy with a texture closer to fish jerky than a properly cooked filet. The lobster risotto fell short. It still resembled rice, but had formed into a solid mass rather than anything creamy or cohesive. The lobster component lacked depth of flavor, and the sauce appeared broken and uneven. Timing was another issue--we essentially made a full roundabout of the tower between appetizers and entrées arriving, adding to the sense that the kitchen was struggling to keep pace. Overall, excellent service from Justin and strong appetizers, but the entrées did not justify the price point that night.

    I made reservations for Friday at 7:30PM. I requested a table for two near the window--my request was honored! We ordered the Seafood Tower, Kim Chee Calamari, and the Bone Marrow Beef Tartare. Everything was delicious. I can't remember the name of the drink, but it was also amazing, I ordered two of them. Our server was attentive and sweet. Our food came out fairly quickly and was served as fresh as can be. The ambiance is low lighting, so it's very romantic and intimate atmosphere. The views are great, I always enjoy coming for a nice date night or to celebrate a special occasion.

    This place was delicious! From start to finish! I was visiting for a business conference and decided to try dinner here. I had already been up to the tower and did not know it was a revolving restaurant Z so that was pretty good! I had the Burrata, heirloom tomatoes, oh my gosh this was so good! Next I ordered the shellfish linguine. Shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops and half a lobster. Again beautiful! Followed by some of the most lovely cream brûlée. Staffed by lovely people! Would return! Thank you.

    This is a great location for a date or special occasion. We were from out of town and wanted a neat experience. All of our food was delicious! We went at night but all you saw were lights. If you go during the day you'd obviously be able to see more. Our server was so nice. Food came out at a good pace. Drinks were delicious. Is it worth the drive?...yes

    My spouse and I enjoyed our lunch together at the chart house. He was a bit disappointed that drat beer was not available as an option. The Cesar salad, butterfly shrimp and calamari with vegetables were delicious. I enjoyed the slow moving 360 degrees view while eating our meal. I would recommend visiting during lunch time as it was pleasant and prices were alright considering our location. We did have to waited a few minutes for one out of two elevators to transport us back down. I would recommend this as a place to visit. The dress code is not as strict as some are led to believe. Best is smart casual clothes, not revealing or with holes and the rest is acceptable. Go enjoy a nice meal!

    This was an all around good experience here. The prices are what you would expect them to be. Keep in mind if you go in the evening you will just see lights. The service was fantastic. Didn't feel like we had to wait for anything and the food came out with good timing. My meal was delicious and portioned perfect. Everyone in my party was pleased with their food.

    Confused by all the low ratings but we had a stellar experience with a Group of 15, on a Monday lunch mind you. Reservations were easy to make online. Came after a graduation at the alamodome and was easy to get there walking distance wise. Our table host Bryan was great! Attentive, patient. Cocktails were on point! Try the Basil yuzu if you're a gin person. Their cocktail fauxjito was also refreshing! Starters try the calamari and mussels! Flavorful. Fish and chips were perfectly battered. Clam chowder and lobster bisque, get a bowl, won't disappoint. They don't rotate the restaurant until evening service. We still had great views of the city! Great price points on food and drinks. Definitely a great spot for date night. Will be back!

    We were told this was a tourist destination, however being part of the Landry's group we had a certain level of expectation that was certainly not met. Went on a Wednesday when the restaurant was about half full yet the service was so slow. The entire dinner service took two hours. Normally appetizer, couple drinks, entrée and dessert takes all around 1.25-1.5 hours. I received a dirty wine glass, requested a new one. Waitress brought out another dirty glass and requested yet another one. We ordered the largest prime rib, which is their signature item. Parts of it was so salty. It was simply inedible. We ended up not eating half of it. And you could tell the managers are really neglecting this location judging from the overall service and the bathroom. The door handle on the bathroom was broken for some period of time, you could tell by the marks left on the door. Highly recommend avoiding this location.

    Great for happy hour - the deals are good and the bar menu is the best option. The apps and fun drink flights are delicious and much more worth it. The entrees are okay here but I don't recommend it. The location and views are the reason to come visit. Service can usually be pretty fast and attentive even on busier nights.

    The view here is great and we loved the moving floor where you get a 360° view of the city during your meal. We got the ribeye, pork chops, coconut shrimp, and swordfish. The ribeye and pork chops were phenomenal. However, the shrimp and swordfish were just okay. The service was good, so no complaints there. I do expect more from a high end restaurant though. I expect them to have every dish on point with nothing left to be desired after the meal, especially for the price you pay. I would come back here for the pork chops and possibly to try other dishes.

    Service was slow so you need to be patience. Food was okay. Cosmos were great. Shrimp was good but risotto was Luke warm. Lamb chops not cooked to satisfaction. However the salmon and calamari was excellent. Astomshere was lovely.

    I would recommend a reservation. But if you go without, you can try the bar. In the bar, you can eat from the same menu, but it doesn't revolve, so you get about 1/2 the view.

    No, but you have to have a reservation.

    What is the dress code? Is it okay to go casual (shorts)?

    Although you see all attire there and nobody would kick you out, it is a bit of a 'nicer' atmosphere so you may feel a bit out of place going that casual.

    Yes they did when I was there 11/2020 but we had to as for it

    Hey I haven't been here in a while. I know it's a seafood place, is the seafood pretty decent since SA isn't near an ocean?

    Hey Bryan, it's not a seafood place it's a steakhouse but they do have sea food and it's ok. Don't go there if you're starving! The drinks and views are nice, that's why we go there. You also get a free observatory pass.
