尚勒崖城飯店

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.

Our experience at The Chanler was none other than superb. From the accommodations, to the bar, restaurant, staff, vibe and views, it was exceptional. The staff were amazing and not stuffy or, pretentious. They were friendly and so professional. They are committed to making sure you have an excellent experience. Bravo!!

The Chandler is a refreshing mecca for those who wish to experience service at its best. The entire staff was professional, friendly, and efficient. It was the perfect place to spend a rainy birthday weekend in Newport. When the weather was bad, we simply stayed indoors, ordered sparkling wine and appetizers sent to the room, my wife thoroughly enjoyed an aromatherapy bath, and we loved our meals at the indoor restaurant. More expensive but worth it!
