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.

    Chandler’s has always been our favorite restaurant in Petoskey , we’ve recommended it to every one we’ve talked to about Petoskey for years, but the past 2 visits have been a disappointment. The evening started with a family of 6 or so who had a card game going. It included the yelling and extreme swearing that goes along with siblings playing and not preteens but in their 40, 50 and 60s, making conversation impossible. They should have been asked to quiet down or leave. We had fillet mignon that was absolutely tasteless along with mashed potatoes that were cold and almost as tasteless. A total waste of $153.00. The tip was the only thing that was worth the money. The service was impeccable. You know it will be whenever you have Paul as your server.

    The food was excellent across the board with the exception of cold coffee. Attentive, friendly service. Our waiter was training a young lady who did an excellent job. The only real negative was our wobbly dining table.

    Love this place for atmosphere and especially food. We were seated at table right in front of door so that wasn't so great, but the place was full.

    I have to say the filet mignon that i had was horrendous, no taste and tough texture. It’s going to be a while before we get back there. Five starts for the drinks and waitresses

    Great experience with our large party. They accommodated our party of 10 in the wine cellar room. The service from Peter was attentive and kind. Food was wonderful. Only iffy things were the size of the pheasant - VERY small and dry, and the mashed potatoes with the filet mignon and the venison were extremely salty. The meats were cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I would recommend.

    As always, the food and ambience at Chandler’s was perfect. Such a treat after a long day skiing in the cold.
