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.

    Great food and service. Intimate setting looses a bit of luster due to noise levels. But, still a great experience!

    Half sports bar, half fine dining. Delicious drinks. Football game was on TV and a group at the bar were unbearably loud. So much for the "best seat in the house", the staff were constantly in and out the front door and we were almost to the point of putting our coats on due to the cold. Food was good, nothing mind blowing especially for the price. Felt like a glorified sports bar overall.

    Our service was impecable. Lively environment but not a place for intimate conversation due to tables being very close together. Definitely a must do when in Petoskey for a lovely dinner and drinks.

    We love eating here but today was a disappointment! A favorite of ours is the crispy chicken sandwich . It is usually tender juicy and not greasy but today it was none of that. Almost felt like they changed chicken suppliers. Very disappointing. Won’t keep us away but will slow us down when making our dining location choice. Hopefully it was a fluke.
