    My experience there was amazing. We reserved dinner on Easter. Our waitress’ name was Ivana. She did amazing. Very punctual and received the best service. Doug who the manager on came and checked on us and could not complain at all. The food was amazing. This was our first time here and we plan on coming back more often than not.

    What an amazing spot to stop for lunch! This was our first time ever to the Chateau, but definitely will not be the last! I had such a hard time deciding as so many choices that interested me! I ended up choosing the shrimp avocado bowl. I made one change to my dish and absolutely loved every bite I took! There was just too much to eat it all! Everyone else in my party enjoyed their meal just as much! We look forward to coming back!

    My second time here I was not impressed, I expected higher quality for a place that requires reservations. I don’t know if the dishwasher wasn’t working but everything was dirty, the server did replace. My first experience was good but seems lately after COVID happened these places are struggling to return back to their normal ways.

    The service was great. From the greeting to our waitress was friendly and very conscientious. The food was good, not great. The meals were not really flavorful. My whole clams were dry and not strong flavored. My wife's butterfly shrimp were kind of flat too. All in all, the visit was good and the food average. The atmosphere was good for conversation but the air was cool, so we were a little uncomfortable.

    I sat at the bar before my party arrived. The bartender gave me (2) drinks that were made improperly. I spoke to her about this and evidently the lines into the bar soda gin had been mixed between tonic water and ginger ale. My party arrives and we were seated for dinner. My invoice numbers are: 0073 0083
