Chart Room is one of those spots that checks all the boxes, especially for waterfront dining without the hassle. There’s plenty of free parking, which is always a win, and despite how popular it is, there was hardly any wait thanks to the large dining room and many tables.
The restaurant has a nautical, coastal vibe, with decor that fits perfectly with its location by the water and adds to the overall charm. The menu offers a wide variety of options, so there’s something for everyone, and the fish and chips are an absolute must—classic, comforting, and even better enjoyed right by the water. Once we ordered, the food came out in a reasonable amount of time, which was much appreciated.
The food overall was comforting and satisfying, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. When the restaurant gets busy, it can be a little noisy, but it feels more lively and energetic than annoying, adding to the atmosphere rather than taking away from it.
Outside the restaurant is also a great spot to enjoy views of the water, and it makes for an awesome photo opportunity—perfect for capturing the pier, the boats, and the coastal scenery. And honestly, the best part is the view—sitting by the windows watching the sea lions on the pier feels like dinner and a free show.
It’s a fun, uniquely Crescent City experience and definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area. 🦭🌊
