We liked the cocktails, we ordered the ribeye steak and it was perfect and we split everything and they split the plates and gave us extra portions of vegetables and potatoes without charging extra. The kale salad was very good but I would say the dressing is a little too sweet for some. A great place to dine for dinner.

Exceptional Evening at Chandler's…read more My wife and I had a wonderful evening at Chandler's in Petoskey. We shared an entrée and enjoyed a wonderful glass of Italian wine, and everything was really exceptional. We also ordered sushi, which unfortunately took quite a while to come out. It actually arrived after we had finished our entrée! To Chandler's credit, they handled it beautifully and took the sushi off our bill. That kind of gesture says a lot about a restaurant's commitment to its guests. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was terrific, and our server was outstanding--attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and we would absolutely return. Chandler's is definitely one of the places we would recommend to anyone visiting Petoskey.

I had the duck and it was disappointing. The texture was rubbery and chewy. It lacked flavor. I finished it but wouldn't order it again.

The prices are reasonable.

Overall, this is a great place for a group, family, or dog lovers. All are welcome here, and all can have a great experience. You'll find plenty of picnic table seating, and a small fire pit area. There is also a semi-indoor setup with a full bar and plenty of seating. It's well designed to create a great food truck experience. Only suggestion is to install an integrated order system, where we could see every truck's menu and order online. Create a QR code system or something so we don't have to visit each truck to read their posted menu to decide what to try. Other than this minor inconvenience it's a great place to hang out!

This is one of those restaurants you leave already thinking about what you'll order next time. Honestly, I'd go back tonight--or tomorrow--without hesitation. So, so good!

To start, the atmosphere is beautiful, with the restaurant right on the harbor of Little Traverse Bay. The ambiance inside was welcoming, with the bar being connected to the outside seating. The service was also amazing, helping out with food and drink recs as well as constantly checking in. The food and drink were the stars of the show. We had the ahi tuna tacos, sticky ribs, crispy shrimp bao buns, and buffalo chicken lollipops. There were so many mouth-watering shareable options that we had to just get a bunch of those. Loved every bite! The drinks were also phenomenal. I tried the moon rabbit, which ended up being one of my favorite drinks I've ever had. Gin, ginger, lime, cucumber, and sesame oil - unbelievably refreshing combination, give it a try. Overall this place was phenomenal and it will now be a must have on future trips up north!

They will play the entire record, which is awesome, but I think the difficulty is not knowing what vibe the patrons are feeling so the music can be hit or miss if you're not enjoying someone else's choice. I love the vibes and the cozy seating, it's perfect for a date night. The cocktails were good but definitely on the pricey side. I think it was $19 for mine and it was okay. Not worth that cost but I think they're paying more the ambiance than anything else. I'll definitely want to come back and chill but maybe consider a simple drink vs a signature cocktail. Everyone was super friendly and I really enjoyed my time!

The ambiance is always stunning, sit on the outdoor patio in the summer and enjoy a great time with friends/family. The service is always top notch. Our go to is the Wagyu Hanger steak. Unfortunately, our dinner tonight was such a disappointment. My steak was over cooked. They changed the recipe to the steak dressing and it just didn't hit. The appetizers were great and no complaints of the service and ambiance, that was still exceptional. I just hope they go back to the old wagyu hanger steak.

I ordered the great lakes chowder which was a gloppy unflavorable offering. My wife had the French onion soup crock which was presented attractively with lots of cheer and a hunk of bread, but the broth was weak and lacking in much in the way of actual onions. I had the Chimichurri Pub Steak for my entrée and it was flavorful if perhaps overcooked and a bit salty. My partner had the Noggin Pub Burger which was just fine. Wait staff was a bit hit and miss, perhaps because we were on the patio but hardly alone with 3 different people attending tables.

Oh how I wish this place would have been better. It's a…read morecute place and our server did a great job overall. Those are the highlights. My friend ordered the kabob dinner and said it was good...but over $20 for some veggies is crazy. My gyro and truffle fries....honestly I should have just sent them back. This is one of the most disappointing meals I've had recently. They put a tomato paste on it that I almost requested without, but trusted it would be interesting. It literally tasted like cheap canned tomato paste. Gross and certainly doesn't blend well on a gyro. The lamb meat itself had a decent taste, but the way it is served makes it difficult to eat in a pita. Gyros are typically chopped or shaved lamb which makes it easier to eat and helps ensure you're getting more lamb per bite. Served in these strips, it was just falling apart and not blending with the feta. The fries...terrible. Just terrible. $6 to sub truffle fries which seems like too much but I hadn't had them in a long time so had to go for it. Listed in subs it simply says truffle fries, so I didn't know they were going to be covered in liquid cheese. They ARE listed in appetizers with the full description but I didn't look there until after bc I didn't order an appetizer. The cheese was awful, completely overwhelmed the TINY bit of truffle taste, and SO salty! Take a look at the picture and decide for yourself if the gyro and fries is worth $23. I eat a lot of gyros, and this being the most expensive one I've had is the worst. Heads up that they charge a service fee. Doesn't bother me as I always tip at least 20% but no one pointed that out and I'm not really sure what it's for. Does that go into the servers pocket or? Won't be going back to find out.
