Chart House offers an excellent dining experience with a prefix-type menu featuring prime rib and salmon as popular choices. The location is unbeatable, providing a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean in Cardiff, which adds to the overall ambiance. The restaurant is known for its good food, including highly praised salads and lobster bisque, and the rich but delicious warm lava cake. Service is generally attentive and friendly, with some staff members going out of their way to make guests feel special. For example, one waitress arranged a special anniversary dessert and even took a picture to mark the occasion. Valet service is courteous and professional, helping to start and end visits on a positive note. However, some diners have experienced slow service during happy hour and have been overcharged more than once, indicating inconsistency in service quality. The restaurant’s location makes it an ideal choice for a special meal, but there are some concerns about tight seating for larger parties and accommodations for seniors with walkers. Reservations are recommended, especially in summer. Guests have also suggested that complimentary birthday desserts could be larger, but overall, the food and service make Chart House a great spot for memorable dining.
