The food is good when you stick to the simple items.. stockpot, fresh shrimp boil, etc. When you venture too far off you will stumble into a tragic version of Crapplebees. I love the location and...

I used to go to the shack a lot when I lived in San Diego but it's a bit of trek for me to go to this one. It is totally worth it though. I like it better than any other seafood chain restaurant. If...

Everything is steamed and over cooked. No flavor. I will never go back and suggest that you go anywhere else BUT this place. I eat out a lot and this place is an overpriced joke!

This place makes Red Lobster look like MORTONS! Staff was very friendly, but the food was awful. We ordered the Beantown Bake (2 Lobsters, 1LB clams, 6 shrimp, 1 sausage, 2 potatoes). The lobster were so tiny...

The atmosphere is great. The food is very good. We went early evening and the service was great. The price is what you would expect for a nice restaurant.

great food, good service, and valet parking. Awesome view of the city after dark. If you have not been to The Chart House, take your Gold Card and wife and go. Worth the dining experience.
