Chart Room

The outside seating is lovely, where you get to watch the sunset. Considering how crowded it was, the service was really excellent. The food was good, tasty, and well prepared, but I was disappointed with the menu selection. It was a bit pedestrian, very "average", and I expected more creativity in the menu. It was classic New England seafood... Scallops drowned in butter with breadcrumbs, stuffed shrimp, assorted fish that was baked or broiled, crab cakes, lobster. Nothing you couldn't get anywhere else... Except for the gorgeous sunset, of course :-)

I heard the food was not good. Boy was that information wrong! We were six and everyone liked their meals. The chowder, the steamers and the crab salad sandwich were highlights. To say nothing of their mudslides which have been legendary for years. The view is nice, the parking is easy. The service was okay. All in all, put it on the list when in town, I'd say.

Beautiful location on the harbor, cool breeze blowing in from the water and awesome piano player setting the ambiance. Our server was very sweet but was in the weeds and struggled to manage our two tables of five. Drinks came out sporadically and an entree was forgotten so everyone ate at different times. No kids menu which only meant lots of leftover food and a higher than necessary bill. We had a few apps (Fish tacos were delicious with a little kick, chowder was very sweet-not a fan favorite for our chowder connoisseurs, Caesar salad was good, steamers were great, shrimp were good but were lukewarm) and then as the entrees rolled out we were unimpressed. Halibut special was dry and sitting in a pesto soup. We had to ask for the starch for two entrees which were forgotten and the summer vegetable on the side was turnip...pretty sure mashed turnip is a winter vegetable. Swordfish was bland, baked stuffed shrimp was heavy and greasy. Sirloin steak was under cooked (we know how to order steak so don't worry) and the baked lobster was good (when it finally came out). We ordered dessert and Ice cream for the kids which was good (cheesecake and Brownie a la mode are a must have) but overall, for the price, the food has GOT to be better and the server needs more support. We wanted this to become a favorite destination but we won't be back especially when we can get much better food for half the price!
