J and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary this year. We originally didn't think we would be able to spend the day together, but things worked out and we got to spend the entire day together. J surprised me and made reservations at the Chart House Restaurant. Seafood is one of our favorite cuisines, so this place was perfect. It's located in Penn's Landing, right on the Delaware River.

The views from our table

J ordered the pan seared jumbo lump crab cakes, served with broccoli. He was pleased with them.

I ordered the mixed grill which included a jumbo lump crab cake, salmon and grilled shrimp. The shrimp was slightly overcooked, but nothing too major and I enjoyed the meal.

We couldn't pass up dessert and had to order their famous Hot Chocolate Lava Cake. J, who isn't a big chocolate person, even enjoyed it. It had warm Godiva Chocolate and vanilla ice cream coated in a Heath Bar Crunch. We ate every last bite.

I would recommend Chart House to anyone looking for good seafood and relaxing views. The service was also good and you can't go wrong with the Lava Cake for dessert.

We ended the night by reminiscing over our wedding night. We absolutely loved our photographer Jen Lowe and decided to view our online wedding slideshow. Here's to many more years together!
