It was perfect. It was a little chilli so they brought my wife a blanket. Food was excellent and the view of the ocean was exactly what we were hoping for. I LOVED it! The hotel itself is also very nice. We may come back and stay at a future date.

Upon arriving at Chandler's the hostess had no record of our reservation, even though we confirmed with OpenTable. The food was not good and mine was cold. The service however was excellent and our server was right on top of refills and celebrating our birthday. The view was spectacular but I'm not sure I would be back because the food was not good.

The best sunset over ocean dining view I have seen since my time in Key West. Absolutely beautiful. The food was delicious. I had the steak it was cooked to perfection came with great side. The tuna was delicious also! My service was slow the waitress didn’t come around very much. But she was really nice!

Hostess was friendly and the view was stunning. Dirty chair at my table, dirty glass made the view blurred. My waiter brought water in a soup bowl for my Service Dog (that I didn't want) which spilled all over the table and my coffee mug and saucer which was on his tray. ? Waiter left to get a new saucer and napkins but left the wet mug. ?‍♀️ I had no utensils or napkins for my coffee while I waited. When I poured my own water from the carafe there was something black floating in the water. ? I left at that point. 4 strikes is enough for me.

Host and waitress moved our table to accommodate our preference which was so nice and really made our evening! Loved the personalized service and kindness. Definitely will be back!

We had a wonderful experience visiting friends who live in the area. Jill provided outstanding service, she was super friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate my dairy and gluten free intolerances without me asking. Food was delicious, portions are on the smaller side and I wish they had specified that the crab cake is fried and not baked. The sourdough boule was excellent and the homemade pesto to die for!We would come back in a sunny day to sit outside.

Tyler & Zack are best bartenders, aka “Bartenders in Blue”, They are professional, creative, funny, & provide great recommendations & service! Nice bar menu with terrific options. The fresh piping hot sourdough with pesto dip, hit the snack spot.

Not sure if it was because of what we ordered but our experience here was noticeably better than last time. The service was excellent (server Amanda) and all the dishes we ordered were delicious (lamb shank, ahi poke, clam chowder and sourdough). Amanda was also nice enough to seat us at a great booth with ocean views and bring us a dessert for my daughter's birthday.

Nice view - if you can sit outside. Good place that has parking available. Food ok (ordered the avocado toast b/c doing brunch), but there for the view/vibes.

Our server was horrible! Zero personality and rude. I would fire her so fast if I were her employer. I have been to Chandlers several times, always great service, but today was pathetic.

We ate here for dinner after a long day of travel. We weren't sure what to order so we started with some appetizers and sides and 2 kids meals. Our waiter never addressed us again except for a "you good" after we asked for our check. The bus guy worked harder and we wish we would have rather just tipped him. What we had tasted good and the patio was great.
