    The service was 100% tops! Food was excellent and presented as a 4.5 Star restaurant should. Ambiance, although acceptable, needs some upgrades to decor. Lasting memory will be the service from Karen(host) and Izzy(our waitress). It's worth the trip!! John & Carroll T.

    My husband and I had a phenomenal experience at the Chanler last night (and also 2 weeks ago when we came here with my parents). The food, service, and atmosphere were all impeccable. The oysters, celeriac soup, and swordfish were all beautiful. A huge shout out to Kevin at the bar and Dejan, our server who were both so kind and attentive. The host was wonderful as well but I didn’t get his name. We cannot wait to return!

    The perfect night out in Newport. Kevin was the person who welcomed us, and he set the stage for a wonderful dinner. The staff was courteous and the food was delicious. Loved the level of professionalism, and you can tell Kevin does a wonderful job of running a tight ship that equated to a fantastic dinner.

    Dined twice during the most recent trip, lunch and dinner. Both meals excellent! We trust the chef and order things we wouldn’t normally be adventurous enough to order anywhere else. Same for desserts, always something different and interesting on the menu. And the presentation - art on your plate! Chanler not only serves excellent food, but the whole experience is always fantastic. The staff is friendly and very accommodating, and of course the location, the best view to enjoy while you’re having your meal.

    The food was delicious and the service outstanding. The oysters were the best we have ever had. I feel this chef is by far one of the best on the island!
