Food was great; members in our group especially loved the appetizers and the fish entrees. Two of us loved the veggie lasagna. The children on our group had great choices from the "kids' menu"; they had a great choice of items, including dessert. The cafe provided great outdoor seating (as well as indoor) and we were fortunate to have chosen a lovely warm evening. We all highly recommend this upscale restaurant in a beloved, small Vermont town!!

It was so nice watching him prepare everything from start to finish. We also got a copy of the recipe. The chicken was perfectly tender and moist and the sauce was very flavorful with butter, garlic, lemon, onions and tomatoes, olives and spinach. It was served on beautifully prepared mashed potatoes. I really would have preferred it over pasta, so when I make it at home I will serve it with angel hair or linguine. The salad was fresh and tossed with just enough of a lemony vinaigrette. The desserts were rich and sweet and they have their own bakery just a few blocks away.

Ava just…read morehappens to be the daughter of the owners and exemplified exceptional service with a great smile and personality. We started with a Blood Orange Martini and a vodka drinks. We ordered the Arugula Roasted Beet salad. The arugula was super fresh and good, however, it overpowered the beets which were thin and underrepresented. We also enjoyed a shrimp cocktail which was very good. For mains we had the roasted duck breast and the braised short ribs. The duck breast was a bit more well done than we normally have preferred, but was delicious, tender and moist. The short ribs were melt-in-your mouth perfect. We both accompanied the mains with a glass of red wine (one of the Hout-Plaisance and one of the Pessac Leognan). For desert we tried the carrot cake and the peanut butter pie. The carrot cake was good but the peanut butter pie was heavenly. In all a very well prepared dinner. However, we expected more creativity from the chef compared to other meals we have enjoyed in the region. Pricing was on the high side.

I said you browse; I'll stand out here in the shade. Then I spied the sign for Chateau on the Lake, which said they were open for Happy Hour between 2:00pm and 5:00pm. So, I sauntered down Allens Alley towards the Chateau. Place was empty, except for the bartender. I announced I was here for Happy Hour, but was informed it's not really a Happy Hour, it's just that bar is open for business. Okay, I'll have a Heineken ($8). Then I went out back, sat in the shade, enjoyed my beer, looked at beautiful Lake George, and waited for the wife to call and say she was done browsing.

We had 3 different meals: the Thai broiled haddock in a coconut curry sauce, the black sheep bistro steak, and the duck leg confit. All were served at the same time and were outstanding . I'm still in awe of how 3 totally different meals came out the same time and all cooked to perfection...Especially as fish can be overdone or underdone in less than a second. We shared the maple creme brulee which was also very good. The bread on the table was fresh and the family style French fried and garlic mashed potatoes were a nice touch. The service was good and friendly. We'll definitely be back again.

You will be met with a warm welcome, overwhelming smiles and your drinks, just... Ahhh ...hit the spot. ( if you got this far and couldn't sense my sarcasm... well that's on you lol) We waited an hour and forty five minutes ( we had made reservations well in advance).... And only received our "pre appetizer". Please don't waste your time, especially if you are hungry. I think they would have been better off if Remi the rat ( well for accuracy, a mouse in their case) cooked the food. Credibility would have been at least sub par. P.s the staff called the mouse "Harry" in case you wanna stop by and say hello while you wait an hour plus for food Cheers

There are two long tables and an open kitchen in front. The service was great as they took our jackets and offered a cocktail to start. Then we were told which table we would sit at. As we approached our table, the other diners were very friendly and introduced themselves. It felt like coming into someone's house for the holidays and everyone greets you and makes you feel at home. Meal starts with the cocktail hour where snacks were placed on the kitchen island and you can line up and grab what you want. I was a bit nervous with what our 4 year old could eat but she loved the snacks and ate it all happily. There was more than enough appetizers to go around. Some snacks included garlic shrimp, radicchio pancake-harissa aioli, steelhead trout omusubi, ricotta gnocchi. How are these snacks! More like appetizers that are just bite size. Also, a note that the drinks by the glass were very reasonably priced and they had local craft beers and cider as well. At the sit down portion of the meal, we had a sizeable starter with seared diver scallops (3 pieces), then braised beef short ribs with parsnip, and lastly a chocolate cake. We were stuffed! It was so much food for the price and they gave a generous portion even for our 4 year old. From a price point, this was so worth it and even more for the quality of the food and the service. One of the servers continued to come by and just check in our 4 year old to see how she was doing, if she needed orange juice, if she was able to eat the food, if she wanted more popcorn. Really loved the attention to service the folks here give to the diners.
