Order a round of various appetizers for the table and get a good sampling of some of Boise’s most exciting starter plates. Chandlers offer a wide selection, including some twists on traditional appetizers as well as signature dishes, all made with the same premium ingredients you’ve come to expect from downtown’s fine dining destination. With Boise’s freshest seafood, a couple of recommendations of dishes not to miss includes a selection of oysters flown in jet-fresh from Washington state several times a week and our Tower of Tuna, which has been a favorite since we opened in 2007!
