They welcomed us by name and the customer service was incredible. Our server, Bailey took excellent care of us, from the table side "vanilla and smoke old fashioned" and table side Caesar salad, to explaining the specials and menu, to caring for us throughout our meal-it was wonderful. I was also impressed with the GM, Jordan. You can witness his dedication to the success of this restaurant, talking to each table and helping the servers. In fact the staff had nothing but good things to say about working there-which speaks volumes to me. Now the food- we started with the wicked shrimp- amazing with a kick! Caesar salad was perfection and freshly made table side. I had the salmon and my husband the filet-both cooked perfectly. With sides of Mac and cheese -the best I've had -and Brussels. Portions are generous-we left with a huge to go bag. The restaurant is beautifully designed in a moody elegance. Live piano music every night adds to the ambiance. It's a wonderful place-everything was great. This one is most definitely worth checking out! We will be back-already planning our next visit!

You can also send them a picture of you opt to as well. Turns out they make you special menus that have the information you give them on it. It was a really a very personal touch and it is awesome and you get to keep the menu and they will put it in a plastic sleeve to help protect it. From the moment we walked in we were treated very well. When you first walk in, you will see their beautiful bar fully stocked and well maintained. The dining room is beautiful with chandeliers adorning the ceiling. It is hard to believe that this place was once Western Proper. Nathan was our server and he was excellent. He gave us a run down of the menu and how they chose the best ingredients for their dishes. For drinks, we got the Raspberry Kiss, Huckleberry Pad and For Whom the Bell Tolls. They were all delicious. The bread... of man the bread was so so so good. If we weren't there for an actual meal, I could have eaten 5 baskets of that bread. Then I went for the special soup of the day, salmon chowder. So flavorful and had lots of salmon in it. Then, on to the main course. They had a special today and it was Salmon Tonkatsu and my husband had the 6 oz filet mignon with a delicious brandy sauce and they did a little fire show with the sauce. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We ended the meal with a delicious Grandfather Port and a small cheese and fruit plate. This place was amazing. The only downside, of course, are the prices. This is definitely a special occasion place but we were extremely pleased... and extremely stuffed. We will be back, absolutely.

This review is long overdue. I visited this restaurant 2 weekends ago and I have not stopped raving…read moreabout it now that I am back home in LA. The service, food, and energy tops every steakhouse I have experienced in Beverly Hills. The service alone can make this place a 10/10. They have a big wine selection and the food truly is worth the price that you pay. There are multiple servers, aside from your main one, who come to check up on you, grab any finished plates, etc. My server Jordan (who btw is absolutely phenomenal, he deserves all the recognition possible) stopped by my table while my boyfriend was in the restroom and grabbed his napkin to fold it for him to return back to. It's the little things that make this place great! They offer valet parking, which is free but you can tip, and your server will take your ticket for you and call the driver so your car is ready when you step out. Yes! I love Chandlers. I will be back for you!

From the moment you walk through the door, the restaurant exudes an upscale, elegant atmosphere, and every member of the staff is warm, welcoming, and professional. Our server, Kim, made the evening exceptional. She was attentive, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine hospitality. She truly elevated an already wonderful dining experience. We started the evening with a seafood tower, a bottle of champagne, and the beef carpaccio. The carpaccio was exquisite, beautifully prepared and full of flavor. I also ordered the lobster bisque. While I would have loved a few more chunks of lobster, the broth itself was rich, velvety, and incredibly flavorful. I would happily order it again. The steak selection is outstanding, including premium cuts from Idaho's own Snake River Farms, which was a nice local touch. I chose the ribeye accompanied by scallops, while my wife enjoyed the petite filet. Both were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. For sides, we shared the potatoes, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts. The potatoes and asparagus were the stars of the table, but the Brussels sprouts were also excellent and complemented the meal beautifully. The wine list is extensive and thoughtfully curated, with fantastic selections for just about every palate. We enjoyed a couple of outstanding bottles that paired perfectly with dinner. To finish, we shared the carrot cake and the butterscotch crème brûlée. Both desserts were outstanding and provided the perfect ending to an exceptional meal.

We ordered the Father's Day Meat platter dinner, a burger, the cilantro lime salmon, and a crispy chicken salad. Dessert was by far the best. Butter cake with whiskey berries. The ugly: My wrapped silverware fork was completely filthy covered in dry food wrapped in my napkin. I was fine with asking for another fork. But the second fork brought for dessert was completely sticky. It was so gross and unexceptionable. I asked to inform the manager. Because coming here for Father's Day I had higher expectations of a great experience and at country club. The manager came and truly could care less and offered nothing but a smug response. Really disappointed. Will not be returning.

One of our favorites and I would suggest everyone save for their butter cake! It's Amazing!!! Service has always been 5 star. Staff is always kind, attentive and very friendly.

We took a seat at the bar and ordered a beverage while we waited. Note, they only serve beer and wine, they don't have hard alcohol. While we were seated at the bar, another couple walked in without a reservation and were seated right away which my husband and I found odd. Why not just seat us at that open table? After we were seated it took another 10minutes or so for our server to come up and introduce herself. Note, online it calls for a dress code of business casual, so my husband wore a collard shirt and I had a nice dress on. The servers were not dressed business casual at all. Most had plain t-shirts on, one had overalls (cute, but still not business casual attire) and quite a few had face/body glitter on. I assume the glitter was because it was Treefort that weekend. Anyways.... After our server finally canoe over and took our order, service was smooth. Dinner was delicious. I got the chicken and mushrooms and it was a very generous portion. My husband got the sablefish and was pleased with his meal as well. Note about the bathrooms, they are outside through a door and down a couple of hallways. They share the bathrooms with the rest of the building. Maybe be difficult to access if you need assistance walking. Not impossible, just a little trickier than if they were inside the restaurant. All in all, we had a good experience.

The tableside Caesar was not our favorite Caesar, just lacked some creaminess, as the lemon was heavy and it was a bit on the soggy side. The clams were also not our favorite - we decided that we enjoy a wine base with Parmesan more than a tomato base. As for dinner, we enjoyed a Petit Tower, the salmon, and the Pork Carnitas, and for dessert, we enjoyed the coconut creme brûlée. All was satisfying. Our waitress was very connected and a friendly host. Our favorites were definitely the service, the bread platter, and the happy hour drinks!

Of course they had an extensive wine menu, but even though we were both underage there were many options for us. My girls strawberry lemonade was pretty tasty. We made a reservation, so we were seated pretty quickly. The folks were so nice, the ambiance was pretty chill, having dairy queen as a general date spot this was a wonderful treat for us both. We ordered an appetizer of cheese bread. I thought it was pretty good quality, a little high price, bur I expected that because it's a higher end restaurant. Our entree's took a bit of time, but it was to be expected the place wasn't empty. I think we waited somewhere between 15 to 30 minutes after we finished our bread. But when they came, it was worth the wait. I ordered a 14 oz new york strip. My family raises their own beef, so steak is nothing new to us. It was so good, I took a piece home to share with my family, and everyone agreed, it was fantastic. My girl had the rotisserie chicken, falling off the bone delicious, Colonel Sanders needs to step up his game. Another thing I can say, I find usually in high end restaurants I find myself still hungry afterwords, not here, I was completely satisfied with my meal. We ordered dessert, it was the vanilla bean something or other, don't eat fancy so I don't quite know these things. Here comes my only complaint, the sugar coating tasted a bit like burnt coffee, but was still delicious and we ate the whole thing. Before she brought it out, our server asked about the occasion. She took a picture of us with our dessert, which had writing in strawberry sauce, "happy anniversary". Like I said, we don't eat fancy often, especially because we feel unwelcome in many places with as young as we are (18 and 19), but this place made both me and my girl feel special, thank you land and ocean. I cut our faces out for privacy, she took a good picture don't worry about that.

I would title this one Kitchen Nightmares. Please help Gordon Ramsey! We've been there twice now…read moreand both times the experience was bad. First time was about ten months ago. My wife got the Chicken with lemon and capers. It was way overcooked, she sent it back and it came back exactly the same, but the manager did bring her a shrimp pasta dish instead. Ok, it happens they were nice well give them another shot. Second time was really annoying...young girl that sat us didn't give us menus. When waiter gave us water he didn't bring menus and we told him, we're starving. After waiting about five minutes, I got up and took menus off another table. After the waiter took the order from the group next to us he took our drink order. Again I'm forced to get up before we get our drinks because he's chatting with another employee and ask if we can order our food again telling him we are starving. He gave us some bread, but the food came out in a strange order. First the pizza (we never got our fried zucchini app) then our side salads over flowing with dressing, then our wife's meals. Our wife's were just watching us eat our pizza, because it would have got cold if we waited for them. It took 45 mins to get our food from when we ordered. Then I hear from the group next to us (they got there before us) tell the waiter we can't wait anymore can you just box up our food? The restaurant was only about half full, there shouldn't be this issue. We had a lot of time to look around waiting for our food, I noticed paint chipping all over, a lot of dust, some lights were missing their glass covers and the ones that did were covered with fingerprints. Just not the level of cleanliness would expect for a place that serves food. Shut the restaurant down for one day and clean and do some maintenance. The food is just ok, it's definitely not worth the wait. It seems like the Chef needs to get his stuff together. If he can't handle it, hire help because you keep this up and your business won't last. The whole thing just seems miss managed and as if the place had an uncaring type attitude...
