We sat outside for brunch. Nice view of the ocean. Espresso machine was not working so that was a bummer. 2 people ordered crab cake Benedict and 1 ordered ham Benedict. All with their potatoes The crab was very fishy tasting and was just ok. The potatoes were heavily seasoned but came with bell pepper. Server was great and brought a birthday cake for my friend. The bar and restaurant inside are very pretty. I’d go back for dinner food. Not brunch.

We loved our experience at Chandler’s. We went around evening time and sat outside. The view of the ocean and sunset was beautiful as we enjoyed our Father’s Day special. The special itself was delicious, with our favorite being the dessert at the end. The steaks were also cooked well, accompanied with a well thought beer flight. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with the family. Thank you Chandler’s!

Wonderful place to dine near the ocean. Superb service. The food was fabulous except for the crab cake. No chunks of crab, just a mash of crab meat deep fried. Not Maryland style for sure. Everything else was delicious !

Dear Megan, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're pleased you enjoyed our ambiance and culinary offerings. However, we regret that our coastal California take on the crab cake didn't meet expectations. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for an even better dining experience in the future. Kind Regards, Charles Food & Beverage Director
