| - From me, the Chart House gets 5 stars for location and ambience, both of which are very sadly lacking here in Scottsdale.
Unfortunately, what is also lacking in Scottsdale is quality, and the Chart House suffers a little from that as well. That is not to say that the food isn't good. It is. But it isn't something you will rave about.
But get a waterfront table in the evening when the candles are burning, have a martini, and enjoy the salad bar if nothing else! The nicest overall experience in the area.
Update: I returned to the Chart House about a year after this review. And while it still retains a wonderful atmosphere and good service, I do have to agree with many recent reviewers that the prices are now out-of-line with the quality of the food. $30-$40 for a very basic seafood dish, and $16.00 for a nothing-special salad bar, are beyond the quality they are providing.
Further Update: 07/15/12: Leave it to Landry's to destroy another fine dining establishment. For 20 years I've looked forward to visiting The Chart House in many cities. But it is now just another chain establishment, and with each visit, it slides downhill. I must shed a tear and move on. RIP Chart House.
