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.

We celebrated our 49th anniversity and it exceeded our expectations. The ambiance and the attention to detail made the evening special and memorable. Of course the food and service was outstanding as well. We will definately return for special occasions or when we simply want a relaxing night out.

I have Celiac and don't always have confidence that our server understands and appreciates what I can or cannot eat. Melissa was WONDERFUL and I felt safe eating the options she helped me to select. Would definitely go back!
