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!

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.

The food was all wonderful. Outdoor seating at sunset very nice. Service was a bit slow, but not terrible - seemed to be based on the kitchen and due to a large party. Would return for the food and the views!

Staff went above and beyond. Beautiful view and ambience. Excellent service from Jill. Wonderful birthday celebration and delicious food. Manager accommodated us after storm blew through and had table inside waiting. All staff hard workers. Appreciated them.

This restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere with a great ocean view. The menu had a variety of fresh selections. Service was attentive to detail. As part of a hotel, it had accessibility to guests who lodged there as well as the public visiting for a nice meal. It's a hidden gem.
