text: I made a reservation late on a Saturday for me and a friend after a long day of moving seafood sounded good and we ended up with the best seat in the house for a romantic dinner LOL My girlfriend Kristen and I found it quite enjoyable too hahah Look at the photos it was the only table in the corner facing the waterfront with two walls of windows nnI highly recommend the baconspinach chopped salad Yumyum I do not recommend the small salad bar for I do want to try their Cesar salad it looks quite delicious I do not recommend the soup samplersave your self the hassle and just order a full bowl of the lobster bisque or the clam chowder nnThe Calamari is called Calamari Friendsget it without the friends It comes with fried vegetables mixedin carrots peppers etc I personally like my veggies fresh not fried and my calamari lonely with lemon They did accommodate my preference when I asked for plain lightly breaded and fried calamari And they did not over fry it to death like many places do in the valley nnI have eaten at Chart House a few times with my friend Kristen and she has gotten the crab cake every time so I think it is safe to assume it is delicious I have had many of their fish dishes halibut mahi mahi and salmon and all have been good Nothing particularly stood out but it was all great to eat which is why I come back Good seafood can be a rough find in the desert nnService here is a bit dicey you never know what you are going to get some are better than others I also always feel like they are trying to hard sell me on more food which annoys me Many times when I opt for seafood I am trying to eat lighter and I do not need somebody hounding me to eat a four course meal nnI have had the lava cake here once and I give it two thumbs up It is quite large for a lava cake too so you can definitely shareif you want nnAs for location obviously other Chart Houses are on the beach and have amazing locations but for Scottsdale I guess it is as close to waterfront as you can get
