The Chandler Steakhouse

"The Chandler Steakhouse, located inside the MGM Springfield, is quality dining at its finest. Our party arrived for our 5:45 reservation on a Thursday evening, and were seated in a private room, with mahogany, leather padded walls. The Chandler Crab Cake, consisting of jumbo lump crab, lemon caviar aioli, and capers was an incredible appetizer, with just enough breading to hold the tender crab meat together. Every lemony morsel practically dissolved upon contact with the tongue. The Garlic Shrimp, with garlic lemon butter and a side of grilled crostini was delicious. The fresh shrimp seemed to be infused with garlic goodness and was quite pleasing to the palate. The New England Cheese Experience was scrumptious, and included the chef’s curated selection of Brie, Bleu, and Swiss type cheeses, honeycomb, stone fruit jam, and Marcona almonds. The medium-rare 8-ounce filet was extraordinary. The resting of the cut was perfectly timed, allowing the juices to let loose in the mouth instead of on the plate, giving that "melting" sensation. The large. loaded baked potato was very tasty, with bacon chunks and melted cheese stealing the show. The vanilla bean creme brulee was also exquisite, highlighted with blueberries, a slice of strawberry, and an iced cookie. It was a perfect conclusion to a perfect meal. If you're successful at the casino, take some of those winnings and treat yourself to an exceptional dining experience. The Chandler Steakhouse is more than a safe bet."

"We received a very welcoming greeting. We did have reservations and they were able to seat us a little early. I loved the atmosphere. The seating felt private and very comfortable. No complaints about my dish. Scallops were very yummy. Our waiter was polite and alert. Thank you for a positive date night. We will return!"

"I had a 6:15pm reservations. I showed up at 6:09pm and was told that I had to wait until my time. The restaurant was half empty, really? I was greeted and apparently they have no bread, but they did set up plates and knives for it. They could not substitute fries for a small salad, but they did change them for carrots. The carrots were soft and tasty. The steak was burnt on the outside, but we ate the prime steak. The bottom of the potato was burned as well, so they took it off the bill. The garlic was so burnt you could not recognize it well. They asked about a special occasion and I put down my Mom's Birthday as it is her Birthday this week. They did not even acknowledge her birthday. I would not go back given there are so many places to go to that are less money and so much better in quality and service."

"The greeter/ hostess stand ladies could've had more of a welcoming personality but lacked on the whole greeting. Ambiance and decor felt very romantic in this setting. Velvety oval round booth style seating great for couples or groups dining together. Table style seating for larger parties and a private room available to rent for special occasions. New menu changeover as of Saturday. For cocktails I started with Falling For Fizz that was bubbly with pear and ended with an Espresso Martini with fresh brewed espresso made dark. I had a Berry & Heirloom tomato salad and for my entrée the Blackened Scallops that were both very delicious! Prices are on the higher side as it's a steakhouse but this is fine dining with quality food. Would definitely come back."

"This was our first time visiting this restaurant. I wish I could give more stars because the food was exceptional. We ordered the garlic shrimp for appetizer, I had the salmon and my husband had the 7 oz steak with a blue cheese crust. We ordered the truffle Mac and cheese on the side along with 3 types of sauces for the steak. We are full and satisfied."
