| asti99's Full Review: Chart House |
I have eaten at two other Chart Houses before in Rhode Island and Connecticut, I don't think either one is opened anymore and had fabulous meals. Last week while on vacation in Daytona Beach my husband and I decided to have dinner at the beautiful marina location. The building is beautiful with a awesome view of the Halifax river. It is two floors with a nice bar downstairs, and that's about all I have to say that is not negative about this visit.
We made a 8:00pm reservation and we arrived a few minutes early. The hostess stated that our table was not yet available so we decided to go th the bar. I ordered a fuzzy navel that came in the smallest glass I have ever seen and so not worth the money. Our table was ready around 8:20 which I felt was a bit too long. We get to the table and wait for around ten minutes until our waitress shows up. She asks if we were all set on drinks and then disappears for another ten to fifteen minutes. She comes back finally and asks if we would like appetizers my husband says he would like the shrimp cocktail and I order the Lobster Bisque. She comes back another ten minutes later and informs my husband that they don't have any shrimp left, he orders a clam chowder instead but is very displeased. In the meantime we see another table who was seated after us get a order of shrimp cocktail, my husband was very upset. We waited for another fifteen minutes before our appetizers show up. The bisque had way to much sherry in it and not much lobster. She asks for our dinner order and I order the baked stuffed shrimp and my husband orders the fillet. Not once did she even mention the salad bar. We waited over a half hour for our food and I have to say by this point I was tired and pretty much full. Well I was in for a surprise, they brought my shrimp out uncooked. The stuffing was not cooked and the shrimp was raw. I have never had this happen to me before in my life, I was shocked. It took at least ten minutes before I could get our waitresses attention. She brings my meal back to the kitchen and comes back and informes me it will be a few minutes. Are you kidding me? I was livid. My husband in the meantime feels awful that I am waiting and wants me to eat his steak which I would not do and insisted he eat his meal, why should we both have cold food. She returns about ten minutes later and I have to say the dish was not that good. The stuffing had no flavor, the best thing on the dish was the rice. The waitress kept saying how sorry she was for the long waits but after the third wait I am sorry does not cut it anymore. The bill came to around $80.00 and what I am still a little shocked at is that they did not even offer to take the shrimp off the bill. After sitting so long we were exhausted when we left there. I can honestly say I would never return to this location again.
