    I don’t mind paying the $110 Easter brunch amount but with that there is a minimum expectation that was not even close. Food temperature and service were sub marginal.

    Easter Brunch Buffet was outstanding! The food was excellent. My personal favorite was the lamb and the creme brulee. Definitely something I would do again.

    Good food at a time when we were really wanting a steak! Lightly seasoned medium rare filet mignon was really good! It allowed the cut and quality of the meat to be the focus. Instead of the way it was dressed up (too many seem to delight in seasoning a good piece of meat). The onion (shallot?) that accompanied it on the side was a little more than my particular taste cared for. But, the way the dish was plated and presented was done very well!

    This is at least my fourth visit to Chandler's, and it's always been great. The food is good, the staff is friendly, and the view when dining outside is wonderful.

    The food and location were very good. The service was not. We got our apps and salad in a timely manner, but we waited for 50 minutes for our meals to come.

    This was a great experience. Our server was the best we had had in a longtime anywhere. She and her team took great care to make sure we enjoyed our dinner. The food was was amazing, we had the salmon after sharing a great salad and warm sourdough bread. The dessert was delicious way to end the meal.
