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.

    We wanted to enjoy our special dinner on New Year's day at one of the BEST restaurants in Traverse City on Mission Peninsula and was NOT disappointed. Was able to take in the whole atmosphere & waters view that felt comfortable & relaxing while enjoying our dinner. My husband really loved the salad & his Filet, cooked just right & it melted in his mouth. Another thing he was surprised when he order a 7 & 7 it really, really had great color not pale, like most other restaurants with drinks he has had & quality of the whiskey was superb as you would expect for an above & beyond quality restaurant. My lobster cooked perfectly, very flavorful & tender. Excellent Kahulua and cream & a scrumptious Crème Brule. All and all wonderful experience. We were delighted to enjoy our special New Year's Day dinner at a wonderful restaurant on the Mission Peninsula in Traverse City, and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere and water view were comfortable and relaxing, enhancing our dining experience. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his perfectly cooked filet mignon, which melted in his mouth, and he was pleasantly surprised by the rich color and superior quality of his 7 & 7, a marked improvement over similar drinks he's had elsewhere. My lobster was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and tender. The Kahulua and cream and the crème brûlée were also scrumptious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

    We love the Inn and dine here each time we stay at the beautiful Hotel Walloon which is often. We had whitefish this time and it was wonderful. Great wines and Ryan, our server was stellar! We really enjoyed talking to him about fish. All in all a very enjoyable, romantic dinner!
