This was for dinner/drinks, not a stay. I was taking a date for a late dinner on a Saturday. Frankly, I was apprehensive because my impression of the Chanler was expensive/overrated. But, my date wanted to go, and looking to impress on basically our fourth date, I decided to go along. Look, the Chanler bar and the ambience is top-notch, even after 9 pm when it is pitch black outdoors, so the view was unavailable. Bottom line: drinks are good but excessively expensive, and the food is good but the portions are woefully wanting. And this is consistently what I have heard from others and read in many reviews. Not sure how reducing drink prices a hair and increasing food portions to a reasonable level would impact profitability. It would ensure one would leave satiated and not feeling ripped off. Instead, I leave feeling, eh, and not desiring to return. And I’m a local, so if I liked it I would be there frequently. I get the impression it caters to the out of towners, so maybe the management doesn’t care. I’m not saying it was a bad experience, but having a $250 bill with 2 rounds of drinks and two unfulfilling small plates was not stellar. Easily fixable if you care to have repeat customers.
