Chartroom Restaurant

Nice waterfront restaurant. Wish they had better seats. These bones aren't what they use to be. Good service and food. Prices were fair.

Decided to head to the water in Racine because the weather was unexpectedly beautiful and this seemed like a nice place for a fish fry. We were greeted by the most polite and welcoming gentleman as a host. He offered us our choice in booths and we were seated quickly. Although it was Friday and we tried to be understanding of the larger than most weekday crowds, we felt the food service didn’t match the warm welcome from the host. We watched other tables receive a fair amount of attention, even visits from the cooks, but we were not checked on and when we flagged someone down for refills on drinks, and a missing condiment we had requested, they offered but ultimately forgot so we went without. This service level for the price was discouraging. After dinner, we waited a very long time hoping to get a To-Go box and our bill. Our bill was quickly dropped at the table finally with an, “I’ll be right back for that”, as the server skirted off before we could ask for the box. Another member of the waitstaff noticed and went for a box. We get “busy”, trust me, but it should have been better. Maybe just an off night for our server?? Anyways- the food… it will tempt us to give the place a second chance. We each had a special that was offered with a side salad add on. The walleye was breaded lightly and the fillet was large and flavorful. The baked cod was perfect and a nice sized portion. The veggies were cut fancy, a nice variety and well cooked. The fries were crisp and hot. The side salads were delicious and colorful. Everything was a nice variety and provided a color and flavorful balance. Although disappointed by the table service on this occasion , the very kind host and the quality of food will likely convince us to give Chartroom another try- especially considering they have outdoor seating and it will be nice to have quality food, on a deck by the lake. Hopefully this can be updated to five stars in the near future.

I wanted to try a fish fry from a place I hadn't experienced before and I think I found my new favorite. The pieces were big and cooked just right. The potato pancakes were also perfectly seasoned and cooked. Something as simple as tartar sauce was also exceptional. Even the PUP meals were a huge hit (looked good enough for me to dig into). The dogs probably didn't even taste their food as it was gone in mere seconds. I will definitely be ordering here again! (I would've posted a picture but everyone just dove right in and pictures of empty containers wouldn't be appropriate....) My only complaint is that only one of the fish dinners had lemon (I ordered four). That's small based on the outstanding quality of the food.

Loved the lunch Linda suggested. The chicken salad was on point and the bread was great. Linda is now a favorite for the Racine area. Go say hi.

We came for the view and will be back for the courteous service and yummy food! Our group opted for burgers, soup, salad and sandwiches, however there were so many other options on the menu. Portions seemed like a good size. Dee was our server and he was so friendly and attentive. He brings such a great vibe to the table and around the restaurant. Everyone else seemed just as welcoming. I’m so happy Chart Room is open and will definitely be back.

We decided to go back for their Chartroom Chicken and it was just as good as before and only $16.95. You get coleslaw, a roll and choice of a side. There is plenty chicken as it's 4 pieces. Our server, Dee, was top notch and he checked back with us often to make sure we didn't need anything more and that we were happy with our meal. We sat by the river side and enjoyed the view. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
