   We’ve been going to Chateau for many years. Entrees were good, broccoli looked and smelled less than fresh (was it frozen?). Service was good (Kristen). Given the prices, we would expect fresh vegetables, which we’d find at similar restaurants with comparable prices.

   We always enjoy our meals there. This trip however we thought the wait service was very poor. Our meals were delivered cold. We requested water and didn’t get it until after we finished our main meal. We were never asked if we would like more coffee or tea. We will go back in the future hoping we don’t get the same service. We do also go to the restaurant in Norton and enjoy it there by the lake.

   First time we've ever walked out hungry. Server was very polite but seemed overwhelmed. For a short time, we were his only table. Never got our appetizer or meals. Meanwhile, a family of 6 who came 30 minutes after us got their meals. Decided to leave when another waitress trying to help him out came over and asked what we ordered.

   The menu options are plentiful and the price paid for the food is a good value. My party of six waited an unusually long time to order. Once we ordered the food arrived fairly quickly, but generally the service could have been better and they really weren't that busy.

   Had an early dinner before going to the Norwood Theater to see a John Denver Christmas Tribute. The food and service were great.

   Had reservation for 8 with 6 children.. took over an hr to get our food. We know it wasn’t the waiter’s fault, but there was no acknowledgement, updates, nor apologies from management at all. When we got the food, everything was cold and fries were soggy (5 of which were kids meal items so it shouldn’t even have taken so long) Also, please note that the kids meal sides were additional costs (at almost the price of the kids meal itself.) The menu didn’t mention the extra cost, so we were somewhat shocked when the total price of each kids meal was over $20 with 2 sides. The fettuccine Alfredo had clumps of dough and was overcooked. Very disappointed based on the previous reviews on OpenTable.

   Jamie, thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience fell short of expectations. We understand how important it is for meals, especially for a group with children, to arrive in a timely manner and at the right temperature. Your concerns about the delays and quality of food are being taken seriously, and we’ll work with our kitchen and management teams to address these issues. Regarding the kids' menu, we apologize for any confusion. The menu explicitly states which items include sides, but we understand this may not have been as clear as it could have been. We’ll review how this information is presented to avoid future misunderstandings. We value your input and hope we can welcome you back in the future. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

    Well, Danielle , our server, was wonderful. However, I ordered French onion soup and it was cold. I sent it back and it was so hot I burned my lip and throat. It never cooled down. NO restaurant should allow this to happen. We don’t plan on returning soon and it’s one of my favorite go to places.
    

    The Chateau - NorwoodResponded on 18 December 2024

    Thank you, Joanie, for your feedback and for highlighting the wonderful service Danielle provided. We deeply regret the mishap with your French onion soup and the discomfort it caused. Your safety and satisfaction are always our priorities, and we will address this issue with our kitchen team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We sincerely hope you'll reconsider and give us the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
