Met the Chef! So, for those who love the taste of food, Chart House get an A. The seasoning was balanced...all flavors came through. Kendall did a fabulous job as hostess. If you want a beautiful experience in excellent culinary skills and service, it is here. Kimchi Calamari: a light touch of heat to fried Calamari. New Orleans Style Oysters. Not buried in butter...great flavors

This casual dining restaurant has something for everyone! We sat out on the shaded patio and felt like we were having a private dining experience. Our server was friendly and attentive. From the moment we walked in the door and being greeted by employee, seated and drink order taken, was maybe 5 minutes. Wednesday and Thursday from 4-7 is Happy Hour with a limited food and drink menu. You must however sit in the bar area or outside on the patio. We found that the menu had a variety of items that satisfied everyone in our group. Our meal was served hot and had an excellent taste. The quality of food and drinks, along with a great value and service for a casual dining experience, makes this a must to try again.

Came for the oysters and they did not disappoint. French dip was amazing too. Love the view. All around wonderful experience. Definitely recommend. They take reservations but accommodated us walking in.

Came for the happy hour which is very popular. You need to get there before the doors open because a line will start to form. The happy hour is in the bar area only. If you choose to sit at a high top table be prepared to share with others as these are considered "communal" during happy hour. The food and drinks were amazing and at great prices! Really enjoyed our time!

Excellent service and very nice atmosphere. The food was exceptional and everything came out hot as expected. The sea bass and the salmon plates are some of the best we have had in any restaurant. Love the views.

This spot is a must. The manage went above and beyond to help our large party. We originally had a reservation for 18 but last minute it turned to 24. The manager didn’t bat an eye at how he could help accommodate the rest of our party. We had set menu due to our large party size and it worked perfectly for us. The steaks and redfish were both amazing quality. Drinks were coming out fast despite how busy they were. Great view in the back near water. If staying at the golden nugget, walk out the back of the pool area to get here. If staying at the hotel next to this one, one may want to drive but if you don’t mind a walk, the boardwalk is perfect to get you there.

If you’re at the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles, (yes we have one) You have to make the short walk to the golf course and the Chart House. A Texas steak house with west coast cool. Views of the lake and the stellar sunset. The bar keeps will keep you happy. The service is friendly and first rate. And the food? Amazing. Get a steak or the killer prime rib, you have to get the sizzling mushrooms. Get the tuna, get the fruit salad. I could go on, but I’ll ruin it. Come see for yourself. When Vegas meets Lake Charles, magic happens

Dining at the Chart House was a really pleasant experience starting with excellent service from Austin, our server. We ate a delectable wedge salad followed by flavorful prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes. Paired with a Daou cabernet in a cozy ambience, our meal was exquisite.
