I took my 80-something parents. We had a great table, our waiter Justin was great! I had the Thai Zoodles and I loved it!

We spent Thanksgiving on the patio eating from a 3 course prix fixed menu. The food was good except for the turkey. They claim it was turkey breast but it was actually processed turkey. It was not good at all and tasted very processed and salty. Very disappointing and sub par for a nice restaurant such as this.

Always love Chandler's. Our meals were great. Only one comment about the Black Cod with a very mild lemon sauce. Although it was very good, there were pepper flakes or something small that was very hot in the sauce or on the vegetables. Whatever it was got in my throat and made me cough and my eyes water numerous times. I didn't expect the mild sauce to have any hot peppers in it or I wouldn't have ordered it. The pomegranate & pear salad was excellent, as was the squash soup. The short ribs and the prime rib my dinner companions ordered were delicious. The creme brulee was good but the sugar must have been carmelized earlier in the day so the dish was cold without the treat of the warm carmelized sugar topping on top of the cool custard.

We had Thanksgiving dinner here for four. The restaurant was so noisy it was really unpleasant. It was hard to hear a conversation! It was weird because several of the tables were empty. Our food was pretty good except it was cold when it got to the table. We sent it back and my turkey dinner was hot but two prime rib dinners were still cold. Oh well.

Many plates in each new stack had debris on them. Buffet frequently ran out of many items, including biscuits, whipped cream, potatoes. On Thanksgiving there was no pie--pumpkin, apple, pecan--none. For $110 per person we expected a lot more. Pretty place, nice setting and nice staff. It was a shame the kitchen management did not measure up.

It wasn't worth for paying $30 for breakfast buffet. I wish servers need more friendly and kind welcoming.

We had the calamari and I have never had such tender calamari ever. Followed this up with the halibut planche. Bold flavors and delicious. Will definitely be back.
