4/5

We dined at this restaurant every day during our stay, enjoying either lunch or dinner. The waitstaff were friendly, efficient, and attentive. The quality of the food was outstanding, with the pastry chef demonstrating incredible talent. However, we did notice an inconsistency in the portion sizes of the dishes from one day to the next. At times, the servings were generous, while on other occasions, they felt a bit insufficient. We were also surprised to find that some lunch dishes were served in smaller portions but at the same price as the dinner portions. Additionally, if you choose to sit outside in the evening, it can get quite hot.

This is my second visit to Chandler's; the first was for dinner (A+ and this most recent one was for Sunday brunch. (A+ My meal (avocado toast and my companion's meal (breakfast tacos were both great. My only thing, which is a request, but not a criticism, would be for one or two more vegetarian or even vegan options. Don't get me wrong, I could be perfectly happy with the avocado toast, but I'd like to taste a bit more of what Chandler's executive chef whips up. I'll absolutely be back.

Not what it used to be. Wait staff was excellent, but food took a very long time. The salmon was very good, but the burgers were dry. We had 2 people ordering burgers and both were very dry. The french fries were served very salty. With prices going up, it's hard to tolerate less than stellar food.

We had breakfast here and the service was excellent. The breakfast potatoes were outstanding. The omelet was a generous portion, but it wasn’t seasoned, so it needed some salt. The kids really enjoyed the French toast and egg sandwich. Book a table now

We visited on Sunday evening to catch the sunset, and it's hard to top one of Carlsbad's beautiful fall sunsets over the ocean. The new executive chef has introduced exciting changes to the menu...

I chose this place for us to enjoy the sunset on our way to Mexico, and it did not disappoint! Alondra provided exceptional service, and the food was outstanding. My favorites were: 1. Scallops...

Beautiful setting across the 101 from the ocean. Covered, heaters for cool nights, outdoor veranda dining. Indoor has a “pub-like” feel. Great food, affordable prices. On my favorites place list

Get the cheese board! Excellent start to your meal! The seafood linguini was great and my husband ordered the filet mignon and said it was cooked perfectly! Beautiful setting!
