    Chicken Coq Au Vin

    We just want to let you know that we are very disappointed by the service received on this afternoon, Easter Sunday at your restaurant. Firstly, the gentleman with the ponytail did not ask if we wanted anything to drink- simply asked if we were ready to order when he approached the table. Secondly, our water was never refilled And he did not ask if we wanted to go boxes, rather he just threw our unfinished portions away, and we had eaten less than half of it. When we requested a manager, he advised that they were a small crew and only the owner was the manager so there was no one of authority there. He referred us to send an email so that is what we are doing. I am sorry to say that I will be writing a review on yelp to speak of the food that was decent (except for cold, hard, inedible French bread) but the service that was lacking. Hopefully you will be able to address this issue in a way that others do not experience the same in the future. Have a great day.

    Pan Seared Foie Gras

    I've always loved French cuisine, so visiting Chateau West has been on my list for some time. My husband, his mom, and I finally went for Christmas lunch, and it did not disappoint. First, parking was a breeze with a lot conveniently located next to the restaurant. The service was excellent--our waiter was knowledgeable, polite, and attentive throughout the meal. Appetizers: * Seared Foie Gras: Delicious, especially when paired with the dried fruit in each bite. * Escargot: A classic, well-prepared dish--perfect if you're a fan of escargot. * Smoked Salmon: Good and well-executed. Entrees: * Duck Breast with French Beans and Potatoes: Perfectly cooked and flavorful. * Blackberry Salmon with Vegetable Risotto * Filet Oscar Desserts: We shared the dessert trio, which included: * Pear Belle Helene: Light and refreshing. * Chocolate Moulleux: Rich and indulgent. * Vanilla Crème Brûlée: Classic and perfectly creamy. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience from the appetizers to the desserts. Chateau West lived up to the hype, and I'm already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend!

    This was our second time attending for Christmas dinner and we loved it just as much as the year before. We'll be back again not only for Christmas!

    Chateau Filet Dinner

    I dined at Chateau West on Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 4 pm. The restaurant was empty during this time since it was a weird time between usual lunch and dinner hours. I actually enjoyed the quietness of being a lone diner. The peaceful ambience was accentuated with the soft French music playing in the background, the low lighting, and the pretty paintings on the walls. It's definitely a different experience compared the last time I dined here when the restaurant was busy and I could barely hear myself talk. I rarely eat French cuisine so you can take my assessment of the food with a grain of salt. I actually thought the food was decent. Everything tasted fresh and the dish had good presentation. The escargot tasted exactly like escargot I had before. The oyster sardou tasted fresh and creamy. I liked the creaminess of the shrimp saffron, so much I ate it all with the complimentary bread. For entree, I had the fettuccine Alfredo pasta with seafood. I know this dish is Italian and is not representative of the typical French cuisine, but I thought this dish was perfectly balanced in its pasta to cream to seafood ratio. The seafood tasted fresh. The chicken coq au vin had a nice rustic flavor. I thought the crème brûlée was excellent - it had a nice caramelizes sugar top with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was good and attentive (I mean I was the only diner in the restaurant). The food came out in reasonable time. Overall, Chateau West offers an excellent dining experience with its exquisite French menu and good service. This dining experience was much better than my previous experience.

    Not impressed , with a reservation book I was asked to sit at the bar . I kindly asked for a table and was sat in a corner by a door .. Ordering my first drink ( dirty martini ) the glass was dirty , I had ice in my glass & a fruit fly . Food was visibly appetizing but was not seasoned well at all , my steak was salty and scalloped potatoes were plain . My waitress was kind but obviously busy . For the presentation and ambiance of this restaurant I expected a more fine dining experience .

    Bouillabaisse Marseillaise

    Ok, I love French food and have been to many so I may be a little more critical than other reviews on this place. I like the look of the unique architecture of the building and the interior design is fine, if maybe a little much with the French imagery. The food. The menu is comprised of mainly the most well-known French dishes. My wife had the Beef Bourguignon, which was good. The beef was fork tender and the sauce was savory and rich. She also got the polenta on the side, which was excellent. I would have liked to seen this dish served over polenta, potatoes or a puree, which is customary. I had the Bouillabaisse Marseillaise. The broth was the highlight, as both the shrimp and lobster were both pretty overcooked. Especially the lobster which came out curled and rubbery. However, I still like the flavors , although a little red pepper flake would be a welcome addition to the broth as it had zero spice. At all. The Escargot was respectable but the complementary bread served was excellent and probably the most authentically French thing on the table. Crusty on the outside with a soft and pillowy interior. They even gave us two loaves to take home as it was near closing when we left. The service was as good as I've ever seen. Attentive and charming waiter brought my wife a caramel lava cake when he found out it was her birthday. 10/10 service reminiscence of a much more expensive restaurant. Overall, I will say this. Is it the best French food I've ever had, no. Is it really good French food for its price point, absolutely. The whole meal was just under $100 (no wine), for a birthday dinner I consider that pretty good as I've spent 4x that much in other French bistros. If you're looking for decent French food in Nashville that's not going to break the bank, you could do a lot worse. And you could definitely get worse service. 3.9/5 or 7.7/10

    Our Fondues Dinner

    My boyfriend and I went to Chateau West for our anniversary dinner, and it was a fabulous experience! We started with Prosecco and fondue, and the fondue was out of this world. I have not stopped thinking about it. For dinner I had the blackberry salmon paired with a glass of red wine that was recommended by our waiter. Both the salmon and the wine were perfection. I had a few bites of the lamb my boyfriend ordered, and it was almost amazing. For dessert we split the Trio. All three were delicious. The service was absolutely incredible. I also appreciated that there was ample parking. I will absolutely be back!

    First time visiting, everything was amazing!! Salmon and risotto was delicious and the chocolate moulleux for dessert. The staff and service was above and beyond, overall great experience!!

    Scallop Potatoes Dinner Seasonal veggies

    #fatjared say...it had everything for my wife and I that we were wanting or expecting, except for the wow factor. Not perfect, so not 5 stars, but a fun place. When I review restaurants I stick to a single rule, "If I have any complaints whatsoever it's not 5 stars." 5 stars on Yelp is perfect, so if I have a complaint then the experience as a whole was not perfect. Chateau West was a place we have driven by several times, and I always made the comment that we should try it out, so finally for a long anticipated date night we did. Immediately I was actually concerned because the place was darn near empty. Then I remembered it was a Tuesday night, and people rarely go to restaurants like this on a Tuesday. They of course brought out a french baguette, and it was warm too, so kudos there. I don't know what it is with our ordering, but several times we start the meal with the absolutely best thing, and it gets progressively less amazing as the night goes on. If you come to Chateau West make sure you order the Pan Seared Foie Gras. Never have I had Foie Gras prepare that way, and the meat basically melted in your mouth. No chewing needed. Absolutely phenomenal. We coupled that app with the cheese fondue, and it was good, but all the fruit sank to the bottom and the goat cheese flavor was not as strong as I thought it would be. Escargot is a must, and while not as good as the Foie Gras, was exactly what I wanted from the order. They threw in a couple extra as well which I was all about. The applewood smoked salmon was basically a deconstructed Lox and Bagel, but the smoky flavor on the salmon was amazing. With the sauce and capers and onions and it truly is an almost perfect bite. Scalloped potatoes were a bit bland to me. Needed salt badly, the vegetables were a good portion and not doused in butter which I liked, and the bouillabaisse was a home run. Plenty of seafood, flavorful broth, a great entree choice for us. Basically all the food was above average, but only the one dish was standout to be exponentially better than expected. Finally dessert, and man do I love that they have a sampler. Little bites of creme brulee, poached pear, chocolate cake, and then threw in some homemade pastry as well. I'm a huge sweets guy, and that chocolate cake was absolutely amazing! The one thing that did surprise me was the cost of the food. These days I felt like a meal like that would have been almost double what we paid. You can tell they know what they are doing, and don't try to rake you over the coals on cost. I honestly just feel like shrinking the menu a little more and doing a small reno on the place would be the way to go. Would feel more modern, a bit more intimate, and would allow for perfect on the cooking of each dish. Overall, thinking back, this was a great night, we had so much fun, and the food was awesome. Not perfect, and no wow factor, but I would go back in a heartbeat if it was suggested. Thanks Chateau West!

    Chateau West is a cute chateau (hence the name) nested in the west end of Nashville. I went for an anniversary dinner and it was amazing from start to finish. Our reservation on opentable I commented the reason for dining and they set us up with 2 glasses of champagne to start the night as we sat down. Starter wise we chose the honey Brie and truffle oil fondue. It came out in a cute little black cauldron and a little candle warmer. Highly recommend. For our main meal I got the Spiced Lamb Rack and my date got the Blackberry Salmon. We usually trade a few bites and both dishes were very good! For dessert we ordered the Dessert Trio which was a fantastic way to taste a few of their great desserts. I also paired this with a port from their after dinner drinks! Had a great time and will definitely be back!

    I love escargot but I wasn't a fan of theirs. The shrimp with saffron garlic butter was not fresh at all and very fishy tasting.

Self-parking is always hard, but we always manage to find free street parking a couple blocks away. Service was kind & attentive & we ordered the focaccia & olive oil, Italian sausage, steak, duck, & Eton mess. The quality was outstanding & everything was cooked & seasoned perfectly. Ambience was intimate & casual but crowd & volume level picked up surprisingly as the night got later. Overall, highly recommend if you can manage to snag a reservation before they close in early June!

The meal started with herb-infused olive oil with balsamic vinegar, Parmesan, and house-made focaccia. It was good but ultimately unremarkable. What made it a little disappointing was that the other starter options were fairly limited--marinated olives, house-made potato chips, or cheese. For our hors d'oeuvre course, I ordered the potato leek soup with black and blue potato chips while my guest tried the brandade with caperberries and focaccia crostini. The potato soup was comforting but didn't have any particularly distinctive qualities compared to other versions of the dish. The brandade, which my guest had been told was somewhat similar to a fish stick, turned out to be more of a fish purée spread. It was interesting, but not quite what we expected. For the main course, I ordered the pappardelle with pesto, herb ricotta, and lemon breadcrumbs. My guest had the airline chicken with couscous, frosted carrots, feta, and pomegranate molasses. The pappardelle ended up feeling more like a dressed-up macaroni and cheese than a standout pasta dish. The airline chicken was the highlight of the meal--the flavors were distinct but worked well together, though the chicken itself was slightly dry. Service was pleasant overall, though not particularly memorable, and the décor felt like it could use a bit of refreshing. While Margot Café offers an interesting concept with its daily-changing menu, the execution felt more like American-inspired French cooking than the classic flavors I was hoping for.

Luckily our server was patient & we some of the last people in for the night so no rush allowed us to take our time. Funny enough, my wife & i both ordered very similar pasta dishes.
