chandlers steakhouse

please be aware that this high end restaurant is a bit more expensive than most places in boise. a place with this food, service, and staff would be 5x more in nyc than what you pay here. this place is a true bargain. best restaurant in boise. the wine selection is terrific.

three words: ten minute martini. ask the older gentleman bartender there about the 10 minute martini and he has such a fantastic story to tell about how he invented this smoothest martini ever. (if he is not there, they have a printed out story they can hand you but nothing like hearing it from the old man himself.) i don't even like gin but this concoction was amazing. be aware that it takes 10 minutes to make, so order ahead of time :) haven't tried much of the food there, but i definitely enjoy going there for a glass of wine or the martini! live entertainment too which is nice!

good steak in a ruth's chris style. wine selection is extensive, but overpriced. it's a high end hotel restaraunt.

great steakhouse. expensive but worth it for the service and great food. i love the wine selection--one of the best in boise.

overrated but decent. this place doesn't live up to its local reputation and is a bit overpriced for the quality. the steaks we had were nothing to write home about.

it was ok. i like it. i do not "love" it. the ambiance is fun but the food was not something i'd sing about.

the finest. do yourself a favor and get reservations. classy atmosphere and excellent food. we are always blown away by wine menu with qualified sommeliers to guide us. usually good jazz playing in the background. eat and drink well and go next door and get a room. this is the place where we go to celebrate events.

expensive but great!. chandlers is a very nice dining experience. a little on the expensive side with the portions being a little too small, but other than that, it is great! the food tastes great and the wine list is seemingly never-ending!

out experience was fantastic! our server was great, the manager was attentive and visited with us to make sure everything was great. i had the filet minon and it was perfect! the rosemary gold potatoes were tasty and cooked well. the mac and cheese is baked and delicious. great wine selection! yes it is pricey (between 30-50 per plate) but you have to go into it expecting it, it is worth it!

nicest place in boise. this is my favorite place for a fancy dinner in boise. and that's saying a lot, because i'm a vegetarian and this is a steak place. they've done a pretty good job to create a vegetarian entree, though i find it doesn't stay with me very long. but all in all, great salads, great drinks and a very classy atmosphere.

the total package. don't let the word "steakhouse" in the name of this establishment fool ya - this is no dark, stodgy, beef-centric restaurant. oh yeah... there's steaks on the menu - lots and lots of them, and i was moved by the filet unlike any filet before but that's just the beginning of their culinary talents. you might think boise, idaho, in all it's land lock-ness, would not be a mecca for fresh seafood, but chandler's is so fresh and tasty, i'd swear it was swimming in the sea the day before. last time i was there, i had the scallops and they were cooked to perfection. i've also had the halibut and the sea bass which were equally wonderful and they have a mixed cold seafood plate with oysters, lobster, and crab that's super tasty.

a favorite evening for my fiancé and i is to sit in the bar (or on the patio in the nicer weather) and order a selection of appetizers. two of our favorites are the tower of tuna and the escargot. chandler's has a great wine list but we usually opt for the 10 minute martini - hands down the smoothest martini i've ever had.

incase you save room for dessert, their chocolate souffle is their signature sweet. not being such a fan of chocolate (yeah, i know...) i love the butterscotch creme brulée!

there's more to a restaurant than just the food though and the amazingly talented jazz musicians that play there every night of the week and the professional (not to mention downright nice) waitstaff makes chandlers our go to restaurant whether it be a special occasion, a business dinner or just a great date night.

i "don't like it" because of the price.... we were there for our anniversary on a saturday evening and sat in the bar at one of the high tables, which we don't mind. the service was quite good and over all the food was good. my wife had the special; sea bass & steak (surf & turf), i had the chilean sea bass from the menu. mine was quite good even for $30, my wife's was $65 which i thought was a little high since the steak was 6oz, maybe 8oz.. the flavor was quite good for both, but the oh gratin potato's tasted bad. sally tibbs & kevin kirk were fun to listen too. the drinks are pretty spendy also. over all we did enjoy the night, but for almost $200 i expect the food to be perfect.
i say try it if you have some money to spare, and form your own opinion.

too cool for me. i didn't care for my visit here on a recent business trip. i enjoyed the jazz, but my bartender really didn't care to have much to do with me. won't be back.

excellent steak. my wife and i went there last friday and the food and service was excellent. very expensive but worth it for the occasional treat.

we love it..... dining at chandler's is always a wonderful evening. we have tried most of the menu offerings and every dish is delicious, the service is excellent, and the jazz is great. it is unlike another restaurant in boise, idaho and that makes it a very special dining choise for us! excellent!
