There was an absolutely gorgeous Chart House in San Juan, PR. Sadly, it closed--or maybe moved. We ate at one in San Diego and were disappointed in the setting. The one on Longboat was okay. Neither was as beautiful as the one in SJ, in an old house with its gorgeous tile and covered porches. You could hear the coquis chirping in the trees on the property. A real gem close to the old Dupont Hotel that was embroiled in a terrible fire set by employees and subsequently closed for many years. I often wondered if that had anything to do with the Chart House closing.
