As a family we have been coming to the Chanticleer for more than 20 years. It has long been one of our favorites. We now dine with 3 generations. The Chanticleer is outlasting other good restaurants in the area but I have to speak of my displeasure this past December during our last visit. We waited 20 minutes before I had to ask for menus and cocktails. The service worsened as the evening progressed. When I inquired about the food service our waitress told me I was " fine dining " and it takes a long time. When dinner finally arrived the food wasn't what we had been accustomed to on the past. As an example of the "fine dining" my frites were served in a paper coffee filter. To top that the decor is atrocious. We had a 18" figurine of a drunkard with an exposed beer belly staring at us during dinner. I wasn't impressed.
