    My wife and I were celebrating our 49th anniversary. It was so wonderful . They greeted us with a happy anniversary message in our being seated. Gave us an anniversary deal on our dinner. The food was great. Service was excellent. They even gave us a dessert for our anniversary. Ashley was our server, a great asset to the Chart House. We’re going to go again, hopefully soon

    My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with lunch at Schooner’s and it was perfect. We had a table outside overlooking the water. We ordered Shrimp tempura, Seafood Tostada, Garlic Parm Fries and a salad. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back when in Monterey.
