We’ve been dining at Chandlers for 5 years now. It is every bit as outstanding as it was the first time we were here. That speaks volumes! We will be clients forever. Food quality, cocktails quality, service quality, entertainment quality are unmatched. You pay for what you get as the saying goes. Chandlers is worth the value!

About the restaurant

From Naples to Santa Monica to Boise: the same passion for food.

A few words from the owner:

In 1969, I arrived in Los Angeles and I immediately noticed that the food served was much different tasting than the food that my family prepared in Italy. Upon questioning the restaurant owner regarding the non-traditional meals we were serving, I was told the food must be made according to American taste.

My commitment to you: I pledge to bring an authentic Italian dining experience, demonstrating the same passion I’ve had since the beginning.

Sincerely, Vincenzo

Food was outstanding. New owners, same delicious menu, more bread allowed! Restaurant had a very large party arrive before us so I thought the food service would be slower but it was not! Everything arrived quickly and fresh. Looking forward to our next visit!

The Pre Fixe Menu is wonderful. Steaks, salad, lobster bisque and sides and desert. What more could you ask for. The Christmas decorations were beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Ruth Chris will make any evening special.
