Great for fine wines
Charming

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.

First time in their “wine cellar”… perfect for small or large groups. Dinner - as always - was wonderful. Spicy tuna sushi, crab cakes, split that Caesar salad and hubby had the halibut. Everything was perfect - server was wonderful as well. Yes- we’ll be back!

A little cool in the dining area. 3 of 4 people wore their coats. On the other hand, the best meal we have had in several years. Excellent food, tastefully presented with good service.

Great food and service. Intimate setting looses a bit of luster due to noise levels. But, still a great experience!
