Sad to see what has happened to the Chart House chain letely. While the setting and the view at the Montara Chart House are wonderful, and the "team" seems to trying very hard, the menu changes that have taken place have reduced the pleasure of dining several notches from the past. The steaks and seafood have alwasy been wonderful at these restaurants, but the corporate changes that have taken over have reduced the number of steak offerings to a limited few (hey, whatever happened to my baseball teriyaki?). And now access to the the salad bar is not included with your meal, but an ala carte extra. Hmm, I think that most of us will vote with our feet and not make a return trip until some of the old standards return to the new corporate environment. Management, please take heed... less

On the expensive side, but that's to be expected to something with an ocean view. I've always loved this chain's Prime Rib, but last time they were too tender (if one can complain about that), maybe next time I'll tell them to cook it a tad more. Very much enjoyed the staff's Hawaiian outfits. Even though it can be a romantic place, but the weekend I was in, it was crowded and noisy enough to made it no my ideal date restaurant. Should put some tint on those Windows panes, afternoon's sun can be brutal (for a supposely romantic place). less

Lobster excellent. Ahi Tuna a little dry, but will cook to order. Excellent Prime Rib (Two sizes) Excellent salad bar. Good wine list at reasonable prices. Service friendly and helpful. A good view of ocean, especially at sundown. Nice ambiance. This restaurant is part of a national chain. Building fits nicely into natural surroundings. Next to Montara State Beach. This Chart House is trying to recover from the loss of business when Devils Slide was closed. We will return. less
