Chart Room Restaurant - Crescent City (CA)

4 /5 Ashley: The service here was very good, and the views were great! Our party of four had the fried mushrooms, the sampler platter, an order of fish and chips, and the shrimp tacos. Everything was tasty and had large helpings, but my fish and chips were pretty tough/chewy and a few pieces were soggy. Overall, I would give it 4.5 stars. We would visit again.

5 /5 Mariah Scholtz: Stopped at The Chart Room on our way to the Redwoods and were pleasantly surprised by how great the staff, food, and location were! We even got to watch a few sea lions sunbathing near the restaurant, which made the visit extra special. We ordered the fish and chips, and out of our entire week-long trip, they were hands down the best we had!

5 /5 Ty and Shev Hinkley: The food here was so good. The fried calamari was perfection, tender with a light crisp batter. The fish and chips were also absolutely delicious, and chowder was pretty good too. Im used to Monterey area chowder which is slightly better in my opinion, but that could be regional bias. The menu has something for everyone, and I included a photo so you can see that there is a lot to choose from. Ill definitely be back. We beat the crowd, and had zero wait right around 4:45 pm after a long hike. The food arrived fast, which I appreciated because we were hungry by then. Also, business did pick up quite a bit over the hour we were there, so I recommend to arrive early or be prepared for a short wait once the dinner hour begins. Service was friendly and there are views of the water on both sides of the restaurant.

4 /5 Tabbie Holmes: Great spot to eat on the water and you can see the sea lions. Service was quick and maybe about 15 min wait for late lunch. The food is good, a little pricey. The clam chowder was delicious.

2 /5 Tyson Torres: Took my wife here for anniversary dinner. The location on the jetty was outstanding: beach on one side, sea lions on the harbor on the other. Our entrees were $40 each, but they were vastly overpriced for the quality of the food. When I tried to get grilled shrimp instead of fried, I was told that he (presumably the cook) was “kind of a jerk” and refused. There is a bar, but they can’t make mixed drinks beyond a Bloody Mary. There is no happy hour here. I’m admittedly a big guy, but the chairs were small, wooden, and uncomfortable. Finally, they tack a 3% fee to use credit cards, and I no longer carry cash, so it was like adding insult to injury. We won’t be back.
