Chandler’s opened it’s doors in December of 1999 behind the historical Symons General Store building. It’s a cozy place with only 50 seats in the main dining room & 10 seats at the bar. When real estate is too tough to find - it’s standing room only! For a change of scenery, guests can enjoy dining in the wine cellar where they are surrounded by the 4,000 bottle collection that serves both the restaurant and Symons General Store. In the warmer months, guests can choose to dine outside, on Chandler’s brick courtyard.

    Food is always top notch but the dish I had yesterday for brunch had sliced sausage that was tough and way over cooked.

    Eggs Jupiter, excellent. I opted out of Hollondaise. Coffee was hot and strong. Very good.

    Our meal was fantastic, but what truly elevated the experience was Dawn's exceptional service. She was attentive and friendly, making our evening truly special. If you're planning a visit, ask for Dawn – you won't be disappointed!

    Our waiter, Peter, was outstanding. I am gluten free and he had great recommendations for us. We especially enjoyed the crab cakes and short rib taco appetizers. The fall poached pear salad was excellent too. Highly recommend!

    We had a very nice dinner at Chandlers. They have some fun and eclectic wines by the glass. Charming atmosphere. Very good soup, Caesar salad, steak, and crab cake. Also loved the Crème Brûlée. Expensive but worth it for the quality of the food.
