Once again, a glorious Christmas dinner at the Chanler! This was our second year in a row and is now our Christmas dinner tradition. I’ve never had pate before today & it was delicious! Julia wasn’t our waitress this year but she remembered us & came and said hello! Such a lovely surprise! 😊

The overall experience was wonderful, the chefs did a wonderful job and presentation was outstanding. We were not offered a drink menu, it took the server over 20 mins to even acknowledge us. Other tables servers were explaining the entire experience, the dishes, and very tentative. Our server was kind but we definitely felt we missed out on the experience, luckily we overheard the other servers and knew the meals based of their explanation to other tables. She never once refilled our waters from the personal bottle, we did it ourselves. While this is something minimal I wouldn’t complain about but in this experience, the amount you’re paying the server should be more tentative. We planned our entire holiday vacation around this dinner. This made it a huge let down for us.

As always, an exceptional dining experience. The fluke was absolutely delicious (as was the carrot bread, and the seasonal pasta special). It’s difficult to chose an entrée because everything is fantastic, coupled with wonderful service.

Our waitress, Julie Ro, was great: very helpful, knowledgeable, and we never felt rushed. Surroundings are elegant and the food is great as was its presentation. Highly recommended.

It was a great restaurant you got what you paid for the service was immaculate. We had a gentleman actually even jokingly offering to drive us home because he saw that I was sort of tipsy! nevertheless I enjoyed myself. Highly recommended, I will say is the best restaurant in Rhode Island. There’s no doubt about that.
