call me old school but the Chart House is not what it used to be. I grew up in SoCal and used to go to the ones in Redondo and Malibu. they would have a basic steaks, seafood menu. the menus were actually wood planks. They now offer all this new cuisine which basically adds up to smaller portions for more money. They used to serve humungous Australian Lobster tail...now it's iny "cold water lobster". The Chart House would be a place for hungry sailors and surfers. Now it's more of a corporate chain trying to compete with the McCormicks and Shmidts of the world.
