Chandler's Oceanfront Dining - Carlsbad

We ate here every day of our stay for either lunch or dinner. The wait staff are good, friendly and quick. The food really is top notch. The pastry chef is unbelievably talented.The interesting thing we noticed about being repeat customers was that there was an inconsistency in the dishes from day to day. Sometimes it was a generous portion, sometimes it felt lacking. For lunch, it surprised us that some dishes are served in lunch portion but charged at the same price as the dinner portion. If you eat outside, it gets exceptionally hot in the evening.

We ate breakfast here. Service was excellent. Food wise, their breakfast potatoes were excellent. The omelet was a good portion but they did not season it, so it required salt.The children loved the French toast and egg sandwich.

It took over an hour to get our starters, but other than that, it was fine. Nothing amazing. Portions were small but adequate. Overpriced for what it was. The view was lovely though.

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.

 Service was excited outstanding. This was one of the best meals we've had in years.
