    Our evening at Chandler’s was wonderful. The service we received from both Ryan and Cohen was impeccable. My mum ordered the filet mignon and said it was the best she’d had. We had recently been to a steakhouse in Seattle and this was by far better in quality. I had the halibut which was equally delicious and their bread service with the olive tapenade and champagne dill butter was delightful. Would highly recommend Chandler’s for an evening of wonderful food, service and ambience.
