| - I really enjoyed my first visit to Chantecler. After reading and hearing a lot about it, I finally went with a friend based on another friend's recommendation. I was not disappointed! The decor is quaint and cozy and the background music selection provided a nice contrast. Although we arrived separately, the server greeted each of us individually almost immediately as we sat at the same. She was warm and friendly, returned to our table often throughout the meal to check on us and provided great suggestions and direction as we navigated the menu options. We decided on the steak and bone marrow, along with the frites, and broccoli, and started with oysters and cheese puffs. We finished with the flaming baked Alaska - wowzah. Everything was delicious. Although we weren't asked how we preferred the steak, it arrived rare, exactly as we would have requested. The evening we were there, they did not have the regular draught beer and offered an alternative: Labatt 50. (I won't do Labatt 50 unless it's the only option if ever I find myself at a random roadhouse along Highway 61). Anyway, no problem --I was easily able to select a delicious cocktail instead. Prices are very reasonable and portion sizes are fair.
The whole experience was top-notch. I'm looking forward to returning and trying the rest of the menu (minus the paté and frogs legs, mind you).
Loved this place and will definitely return.
