I visited this restaurant a few times during my stay. I enjoyed their diverse menu options. The flavors are delicious, and the service is excellent.

We had the most wonderful experience dining here last night! It was a perfect atmosphere with sweeping ocean views and incredible food. But what stood out above and beyond was the staff. We received the warmest service from everyone and left feeling like family. Jill, our server was so awesome. She took the time, engaging with our table and making the night extra special. She gave excellent service and her kind and fun personality truly added to the joy of the night. We enjoyed making connections with some of the staff members who came by our table to share in our love of Hawaii, they spread the Aloha spirit and that meant so much to our family members who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. It was a beautiful and unforgettable evening. Thank you to Jill and the entire team at Chandlers!!

We had a wonderful family dinner at this restaurant! From the very start, we were impressed by the mango and banana chip appetizer, an unusual combination, but absolutely delicious! The main dish, rosemary chicken, was simply outstanding - tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite melted in our mouths! A special shout-out to our waitress, she was not only professional but also incredibly friendly, adding even more positivity to the already warm and inviting atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Come to a place where the menu descriptions match the food. Flawless execution dish after delicious dish . If you’re looking for a quiet dinner the nights they have live music is not for you then. I never had to ask for a drink refill or anything more than once. The clam chowder was perfection! Their pesto paired with the sourdough was worth every carb. Apple and pear bread pudding was scrumptious . Burger was medium rare goodness. Side of charred broccoli with a sprinkle of lemon?! Heaven .

Came here with a large group recently - food and service were incredible. Staff was attentive, on top of it and very friendly. Atmosphere is exactly what you hope for being a minute walk from the beach. Large fire pits and padded seating available, beautiful bar area. Comfortable dining seating. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Chandler’s Oceanfront Dining offers a dining experience that perfectly marries stunning ocean views with delightful cuisine. Nestled right on the shore, it’s an ideal spot for breakfast or brunch, and their Crab Cake Benedict truly stands out as a must-try dish. The Crab Cake Benedict features perfectly poached eggs perched atop succulent crab cakes, all crowned with a rich hollandaise sauce that is both creamy and zesty. The crab cakes are made from fresh lump crab meat, expertly seasoned, and fried to a golden perfection, providing a satisfying crunch that complements the silky egg yolk. Each bite delivers a burst of flavor, making it hard to resist going back for more. The ambiance at Chandler’s is equally inviting, with its warm decor and friendly staff who are eager to enhance your dining experience. Enjoying this dish while listening to the gentle sound of waves crashing nearby creates a serene setting that can transform a simple meal into a memorable occasion. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Chandler’s Crab Cake Benedict deserves a spot on your culinary bucket list. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal with a view!

We had a wonderful meal with family at Chandlers! All of us had exceptional meals and the food was outstanding from the appetizers to the main! We came at night so we didn’t get to enjoy the Oceanview dining but I bet during the day it’s spectacular. My favourite item was the crab cakes! They were so delicious!My steak was cooked to perfection! The flatbread was tasty and perfect for sharing! The drinks were yummy, it was all very good! If you’re coming for date night, work, or a special occasion you won’t be disappointed, the food really was incredible. Wanted to give a shout-out to our server Bryce who took excellent care of us. Added to our dining experience with laughter and kindness. Highly recommend Chandlers if you’re in the area. They’re breakfast and lunch menu looks equally very tasty so I don’t think you can go wrong!

Chandler’s Oceanfront Dining is such a beautiful restaurant conjoined with Hilton’s Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach Resort! This award-winning establishment features California Coastal Cuisine with menus that continue to evolve with innovation and craft. Stunning Pacific Ocean views are all around coupled with very professional, top-shelf service. Everyone we encountered were so genuine, thoughtful, and friendly. They really did a great job recognizing my recent birthday in an elegant and dignified fashion. We stayed at the resort for a couple of nights and the standout for me was their outdoor seating and firepits. The vibe is decidedly comfortable and welcoming. Their bar features an impressive menu of craft cocktails that we enjoyed. Particularly the “Cocoa Trace”. For brunch I ordered the Chef’s Omelet. When it was served, I noticed the eggs were more brown than yellow, but the delicious array of fillings made up for that. Particularly the generous amount of smoked ham and baby peppers. My wife ordered the Classic Benedict. Unfortunately, the whites were quite loose and far from set. The staff were very accommodating in a quick replacement with a croissant breakfast sandwich that was very tasty. I would not hesitate to dine here again, although your mileage may vary with the eggs…

Patio dining in Carlsbad overlooking the ocean (they even have live music some nights). We had a beet salad and halibut sandwich (happy hour menu), red wine and creme brulee. All the food was delicious if a bit pricey. Caution: for large parties, the servers can't split checks.

The best sunset over ocean dining view I have seen since my time in Key West. Absolutely beautiful. The food was delicious. I had the steak it was cooked to perfection came with great side. The tuna was delicious also! My service was slow the waitress didn’t come around very much. But she was really nice!

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.

Our dining experience had mixed outcomes. Justin, our wait staff, was exceptionally accommodating and provided excellent service. The food was decent—while the crab cake was slightly overcooked, it was still flavorful. Unfortunately, the service provided by Lauren, the host, significantly impacted our overall experience. Before checking out of our room, my husband and I decided to enjoy brunch outdoors to make the most of the pleasant weather and the view. We requested to be seated in the shaded area, as the direct sunlight made one of the available tables uncomfortably hot. Lauren led us to the sunlit table and, when asked about moving to the shaded area, hesitated and mentioned needing to check with the front. Despite several shaded 4-seat tables being visibly available, we waited 5-10 minutes without any follow-up. During this time, we noticed Lauren seating another guest at one of the shaded tables we had inquired about. Frustrated by the lack of communication, my husband approached the front desk, where another host promptly seated us in the shaded area. We were told the other tables were “reserved,” but they remained empty throughout the entirety of our meal. Advice: A host’s role is critical in ensuring guest comfort and equitable service. Proactive communication, efficient seating management, and attentiveness are essential for creating a positive dining experience. A more thoughtful and responsive approach from Lauren could have transformed our brunch into a more enjoyable occasion.
