What are our entrees served with?

Most entrees are served with our potato of the day and a medley of roasted seasonal vegetables. Some entrees specify a different side. For example, the Arctic Char is served with sweet potato puree and vegetables. Any sides can be substitutes for rice, or no starch and extra vegetables.

Do I need to make a reservation?

Reservations are highly recommended, regardless of the day of the week. While we do our best to accommodate walk-ins when availability allows, tables can fill quickly during peak times. Reserving in advance guarantees your preferred dining time and allows our team to prepare for your visit. Making a reservation also gives you the opportunity to note any dietary needs or special requests ahead of time. You can book by sending an email to chanterellebistro@gmail.com or by calling us directly.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?

Absolutely. We regularly work with individuals who have celiac disease, vegan, vegetarian, nut-free, dairy-free, and other special dietary requirements. Please make us aware when you book your reservation. In this case, an email is advised.
