Chart House

Excellent location and wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and super great happy hour for sure! James is great and super attentive with any questions and suggestions. One suggestion for management * You should offer parking for your guests since you have a parking lot available. We shouldn’t pay for valet parking when we are dining at your beautiful and expensive restaurant. Just a friendly suggestion 🙏

All about the ocean view. Attention to detail in the service knowing it was our anniversary and brining out a complimentary sweet desert. Recommendation by the server on the wine was spot on, but mostly just enjoyed the Dana Point Harbor ocean views during a romantic dinner. The filet and salmon were good but not great but that was a minor detail as the overall experience was as tremendous.

As a wedding photographer I recently shot a wedding at the Chart House in Dana Point. It was such a success! I was really impressed with the venue. The wedding started in the morning approx 11am so it worked out great as the entire restaurant was used for the wedding. The restaurant has different large rooms that were perfect for the pre-wedding prep of both the bride and groom. The bride and her bridal party had one large room and the groom and the groomsmen occupied a large room the other half of the restaurant near the bar. The outdoor grass area was perfect for a first look and the Dana Point Harbor panoramic views were just a stunning backdrop for both the first look and the ceremony. It was a Jewish Wedding and everything went off beautifully. The Outdoor ceremony was very pleasant and then they held the reception indoors. Tables were placed together to form larger long tables and the dance floor was in the middle of the room. The food was delicious! Family photos and bridal party photos were shot outside incorporating the ocean in the background. It was really beautiful and there was plenty of space and atmosphere. The bride and groom did a grand exit complete with bubbles and it was a short drive to the beach to shoot some bride and groom romantics at the end of the evening. This was my first wedding shot at the Chart House but it really did work out nicely. The bride and groom were very happy with the results and I would recommend it to other couples in the future.

We have been coming to the Chart House for special occasions for decades! They never disappoint. We had a wonderful dinner last night. The food is delicious as always and the ambiance is pleasant for an intimate dinner for two. The mud pie is a classic for them and delicious as usual. We haven't been here in years as we live in Texas now, so pleased to see it is still a great place to eat.

7/23/2023 Finally got to bring my wife and family and to celebrate her birthday made it even better. The food was amazing as are the views. Out server was super nice but was maybe given a couple too many tables but was still great. One of my favorite places when I visit. Original Post All the food was amazing. Probably the best crab cake I've ever had.. It was $17 for one crab cake. As good as the food is, the architecture and view are the best part. I want to come back and bring my wife.
