On a clear day, the view from Chart House Dana Point extends 50 miles down the Southern California Coast all the way to La Jolla. As one of the best Dana Point restaurants with a view, Chart House is seated atop the majestic bluffs overlooking the Dana Point Harbor and the pristine azure waters of the Pacific Ocean. Simply put, Chart House is one of the most romantic restaurants in Dana Point, year round. In the spring, the ocean comes to life with the mass migration of grey whales as they travel past Dana Point on their trip south. From our restaurant, you can view not only these majestic whales, but also dolphins and seals. Sailboats from the Yacht Club and Harbor streak across vibrant blue waters and fishing boats dot the horizon. Eve…

Chart House was a really nice restaurant! It had a great ambience; great views of the city, dim lighting, and good music. The food was really good as well. We got the Crispy Coconut Shrimp, Calamari and the Salmon. Everything had surprising flavor! The meal was a bit pricey but I think it was worth it. The Pacific ocean is beautiful! They do have a happy hour and believe when I say it is well worth it! $6-$8 drinks. $9, $11 and $13 appetizers. You could definitely leave full and feeling great for not too much money. The only catch is that the happy hour is only available in the bar sitting area (not the dining room) and it is first come first served from 4 pm- 6 pm and fills up pretty quickly so get there a little early to ensure you get a seat. They offer valet parking in their parking lot, otherwise there is limited street parking. If you prefer the dining area be sure to make a reservation! All in all this place is a vibe!

Our server Heather was incredible! We came for happy hour and dinner at sunset. The sunset views from this restaurant have to be the best of our entire trip. Heather was incredibly nice, gave great recommendations for the rest of our vacation, and even offered to take our photo during sunset. Cant wait to come back!

We went for the view. In my reservation, I wrote, “Celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday, so a nice table/view would be greatly appreciated.” It was clear this was a woman requesting a table for her and her girlfriend. What followed felt discriminatory.
We were seated at the worst table in the restaurant, the only one facing a wall instead of the bay or ocean. Our server was kind (the one positive part), but when we asked to move, she said to talk to the host.
I politely explained, “It’s my partner’s birthday, and we came here for the view, but we’re seated facing a wall. We see several open tables.” The host replied, without empathy, “It’ll be an hour and a half to two hours.” That was it.
We finished our $25 espresso martinis (below average) and an appetizer, then left. Why stay and spend hundreds more for that kind of treatment?
The strict dress code made things worse. It bans shorts and “baggy clothing,” so I had to scramble to find something to wear as a lesbian uncomfortable in feminine clothes- only to see a white man nearby in a graphic T-shirt and shorts. The double standard was frustrating and hurtful.
We left feeling unwelcome, dismissed, and disappointed. I rarely write reviews, but this was disheartening enough to share. We just wanted a special night for my girlfriend’s birthday and instead were made to feel out of place.
Oh, and no need for Chart House to come in and comment that you “appreciate the feedback” or “thank us for choosing your restaurant.” Address your blatant disrespect toward minorities instead.

We made a reservation (definitely recommended) and visited on Valentine’s Eve. We had the choice of outdoor seating or indoor, and we chose to sit outside on their grass terrace. They had plenty of heaters and in fact, we were actually a little too warm! Thankfully they turned the heat down a little. What a spectacular view of the harbor lights!
I ordered the filet and lobster bisque and the filet was tender and cooked just right. My wife started with their beet and carrot salad and I thought it was one of the best presentations I’ve seen! She loved it. For her main course she ordered prime rib. She likes it brown which is not easy for prime rib, but they cut a piece and cooked it just right. We enjoyed and finished with dessert. I had the famous mud pie and my wife had their creme brulee flight. It was the first time I’d been there in decades and I didn’t know what I’d experience but it was just as good as I remembered!
Because it was Valentine’s weekend I had to park quite a ways away and took a 5-minute walk to get to and from.

Went for happy hour and the place was packed already at 4:30pm! We originally hoped to get a table outside but that was clearly impossible. Landed the last table inside near the entrance. The view was definitely better outside but we felt lucky to even get a table. Nicely decorated and cozy feel to the restaurant. There is a main dining area and happy hour is in the bar / patio area. I heard from our waiter that people start waiting for HH tables at 3:20pm! We had the truffle fries which were good and drinks. The table was unstable so when I pressed down on my side our drinks spilled all over the place. Luckily the service was amazing! Smore (sorry, not sure if I am spelling his name correctly) who was standing nearby at the time jumped into action and got everything cleaned up, switched out the wet chair AND brought us a new drink! Get there early if you are going for happy hour. Valet parking in the lot, or if you arrive earlier (before 4pm) lots of street parking available.

Views: spectacular
Service: below average. Super slow. You’ll be waiting over an hour for your food and receive little attention. Your service may depend on your ethnicity.
Mahi: way below average. It’s basically fish jerky. It was so dry and hard that a knife won’t even cut it.
Filet mignon: we sent it back bc it was overcooked.
Prime rib: average
Lamb chops: above average.
Drinks: average, doesn’t taste good but looks fancy.
Lava cake: get this!!!! It was delicious 10/10
Oysters: ok
Parking: there is paid valet but we found free street parking and walked a few mins.
Overall, the view and the restaurant was so beautiful. We were prepared for mediocre food. We were disappointed by service. So it evens out and I’d say it was an ok experience for the price. I would give 3.5 starts but that’s not an option here.

I dined on a Friday evening table for 1 at 5:30. Although I made my reservation the same day, I was still able to secure a seat. I felt bad for my server, Heather. She was the only competent person I dealt with this whole experience.
I arrived around 5:35 because parking was hard to find and the host had me wait until 5:50 for a seat even with a reservation. There was no real explanation why. I did request a nice view so a simple “we’re getting the best view cleaned for you” would have done but nothing was offered.
During the15 minutes I spent standing awkwardly in the lobby the host’s were talking rudely about other customers and offered a walk-in table of 4 a 10 minute wait time even though my reservation took 20 minutes to seat and I was one person (sat at a 4 top by the way. So please don’t assume it was a different party size and different tables were available. This was poor customer experience stemming from mismanagement of the seating chart).
As I mentioned before, Heather was the shining star of this experience and takes her job seriously. Her recommendations were spot on, she was quick to stop by if I needed something but wasn’t hovering, and she showed patience with me as she was sat a 10+ top table and I had questions about a dish. Truly a gifted server.
I will say, the food was incredible as well. The flavors and sensations were quite good. Not necessarily Michelin quality but very much fine dining.
It’s a shame the support staff for the servers was completely missing. I sat with every single one of my dirty dishes from appetizer through main course, as I sipped my dessert drink. Once I finished my drink and packed my leftovers myself, I sat with a second set of dirty dishes until there was time to process my payment. See both sets of dishes in the photos, please.
There were no bussers and Heather had to clean my table herself, while juggling a full section and a 10+ top who continued to add guests (no idea how the host let that happen in a fine dining restaurant).
I guess the Happy Hour is difficult to manage or something because there were children running around screaming outside in the court yard, no one was cleaning, and the only polite staff was Heather.
If you’re looking for good food with an excellent view, I recommend this location. Unfortunately, their standards do not match the pricing and I’d be cautious if you’re trying to impress someone.
