Chandlers Prime Steaks & Fine Seafood

An exceptional meal! Service was superb. The only reason I gave it a 4 for atmosphere was that we had to eat at the bar at a high top table (not their fault, already fully booked due to no availability). It has been a loooong while since I’ve had a great abalone and theirs was super delicious and fresh! A SURPRISE was the Wagyu steak produced in Idaho! Supremely delicious and amazingly well marbled. True Wagyu! From Idaho???? 😊 This is a definite revisit if I ever come to Boise again. A very well stocked wine list/cellar. Very accommodating for dietary restrictions (reasonable).

Nick is the man! Go see my man Nick! He's a wonderful waiter and super personable. An expert at his craft. Ask for Nick because he will take great care of you. Also... the food rocks! The lobster bisque soup is wonderful! Crab cakes are mostly meat rather than mostly bread. The Ahi tuna kicks butt! The shrimp scampi pasta is wild delicious!!! The veal is Devine! The deserts... amazing! Go here... now! Worth the $$$. A total experience that you will remember for years to come.

Not often do I rate a restaurant a 5 star but Chandlers completely deserves it. My family and I dined there for my birthday celebration and it didn't disappoint. If you like to sit in a booth be sure and make a reservation and request one. The service was outstanding, and the food was incredible, delicious, cooked just right and beautifully presented. It is by far the most expensive meal we have ever had, but also the best meal and an unforgettable evening. Thank you Chandlers!

This is one of just a few really good steak houses in the Boise area. They treat you like royalty and they are very professional. The price point is pretty much what you expect on an upscale place like Chandlers. I would prefer a larger cut of meat but my 6oz was alright and so very tender. They are only open for dinner during the week and not sure about the weekend hours.

For the second time in a few months I have left with less than half of what I asked to be boxed up on my plate. Is this a new policy? Only the largest cut of meat is sent home? I have been eating at chandlers since my 8th birthday in Sun Valley and have never been shorted the food that I was unable to eat in the dining room. At this point it is more disappointing than the excitement my reservation gives me. If this does not change, my regular recommended place, and my favorite will change.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with the steak menu on a previous visit, so I decided to bring my mom for a special treat. While the service and atmosphere remained excellent, the food quality this time was disappointing. We ordered the bouillabaisse, duck two ways, sautéed fresh morel mushrooms, and gratin potatoes. The gratin potatoes were well-prepared, with a crunchy golden crust and a rich, buttery interior. The duck two ways was also nicely executed—the confit leg had crispy skin and flavorful meat, complementing the tender breast cooked to a perfect medium. The wine reduction and cabbage slaw added a pleasant touch of sweetness and tang. Unfortunately, the morel mushrooms were overly salted, which masked their natural flavor. The biggest letdown, however, was the bouillabaisse. From the first taste, the broth had an off-putting, almost sour smell. We quickly discovered that two of the mussels were spoiled and had to spit them out. When we informed the manager, she mentioned the mussels had been delivered the day before and that “this batch may have a stronger taste.” This explanation was not reassuring, as the mussels were clearly bad. Still, we chose not to escalate the issue and politely said we couldn’t finish the dish. To their credit, the bouillabaisse was removed from our bill. Unfortunately, I experienced a severe bout of diarrhea that night, followed by a rash that lasted nearly a week. In my opinion, Chandlers excels with its steak offerings, but seafood and mushroom dishes seem to be more hit or miss. I also wish the management had handled the situation with more professionalism and concern.

We went to Chandlers to celebrate our anniversary. We’ve been there many times and it never gets dull. Tonight the element of the visit that really stood out was the service. How do they do it in such a competitive environment that exists in Boise. From the car valet, walking through the front door, shown our table, immediate attention to our needs, our waiter was outstanding throughout our meal. The one event that really made an impression was when my wife’s salad was presented with the dressing already on the salad when she ordered it on the side. He’s the deal - immediately everyone on the staff knew this, from management to the server and offered to redo it. It was no big deal to us, but to the staff it was important. When this info permeates the staff within minutes is evidence of how well run the restaurant is. The food was outstanding and Chandlers will continue to be my go to restaurant.

Amazing! I celebrated my birthday today. The service was absoulutly amazing. Bodie was an incredible Johnny on the spot! The young man helping was great also. Chef you out did yourself! Thank you for perfection!
