    A truly unique and lovely dining experience. This place is a must if you come and visit the 1000 Islands and like higher end, farm to table meals. A distillery, restaurant and a few rooms available for rent are located on a gorgeous property. The restaurant is beautiful, the view is to die for and the food and drinks are some of the best NYS has to offer. Everything was perfect and the bartender took good care of us and made wonderful suggestions. The food was well seasoned and had interesting flavor combinations. We will absolutely be back next time we go to the 1000 islands.

    The menu is simple but the best part of this restaurant is the view. The traditional angus burger was savoring. The chocolate martini was the perfect blend of sweetness and alcohol. The staff was amazing and friendly. My only negative thought was the time it took to prepare the order but again this view is worth everything.

    Full disclosure, my review is based on service only, as we waited so long to be acknowledged after being told to sit down and chose our own table (took 15 minutes for any server to say anything to us or even just say they would be with us shortly) and then get our drink order (25 minutes) we decided not to order food. Only positive is that the view is beautiful. We came on a Saturday evening and there were only 4 other tables outside. We thought it would be busy and were prepared to wait, but this was ridiculous given the lack of patrons there. One waitress, maybe 2 working. I understand they probably were doing their best, but it was not busy and as I mentioned we sat for 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Drink orders (mind you we ordered draft beers, not the made to order cocktails) took quite some time to come out. Waitress did not offer to take a food order when she dropped off our beer. Would give them another chance but be prepared to sit and wait even during not busy times.

    Dessert- chocolate chip tart with caramel ice cream yummy

    Very delicious dinner with impeccable service from start to finish. Easy online reservation system and even ask if you are celebrating a special occasion. Call and double check about your reservation as well as any food allergies. We arrived about 10 minutes early but they sat us right away. We had mentioned in our notes that we were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and not only did the host say something to is, but our waitress did as well as soon as we were seated. She also let us know that to celebrate we could have a glass of Prosecco anytime during our dinner and to just let her know when we wanted to enjoy it. Very nice touch! The food was delicious and I highly recommend the coconut lobster bisque if it still on the menu when you visit! My husband had the steak of the day and it was cooked to his liking as well as the potatoes gratin and sweet potatoes were also delicious. I really enjoyed the salmon with the crab risotto. The sauce over the salmon was delicious! All the meals come with a salad that also come with homemade dressings. Dessert was also delicious and we got the cookie tart with the caramel ice cream. Very good! My husband enjoyed a glass of Malbec and I had a cocktail (the adrift-delicious) as well as the Prosecco! We really enjoyed our whole experience and meal. Can't wait to go back!

    This place is COVID safe and following all COVID practices. The Chateau is amazing. Liz provided excellent and friendly service throughout the dinner. Group of 6 - Main floor. Recommend you can reserve upstairs private dining for small groups and also recommend that you look at their specials. Room and dinner for two $250. couple. See special for details. Suite 1 is amazing. They have only 2 rooms so they do book up. Food - Prime Rib on Saturday King Cut was excellent. However no reflection on this place go with their Roasted Potatoes vs. French Fries. Roasted Potatoes are amazing. Cooked as ordered medium rare. Leftovers for another dinner. Double Cut Pork Chop - large and very good. I should have gone with this over their Prime Rib. Fish special for spouse was thoroughly enjoyed by her. Steak special was cooked as ordered - medium rare and was fantastic in taste. Wine, Draft & Bottle Beer selection are excellent and plentiful. Cocktails are available as well. Dessert - Peanut Butter very good as well as their Carrot Cake.

    Omg Celeste was amazing steered us in the right direction; when it came to drinks . Gave us local recommendations. This one employee made the place ; now we have to return. We loved the products the vibe and the locals that come in.

    I have yet to eat at a restaurant, in the 1,000 islands NY area, that hasn't had incredible water views! Such a lovely region of our country! I'm especially enjoying the low 70's daily high! I started my lunch with a Bourbon Bacon Blues Mary. This creative twist on a traditional Bloody Mary contained local St. Lawrence Spirits Captain Bourbon garnished with two strips of bacon, celery, and blue cheese olives. This Bloody Mary had the right punch of spice and lovely garnishes, and while I enjoyed it, I'm not sure I'd order again. Also, I've discovered that plunging a meaty piece of perfectly cooked bacon into an icy drink does nothing for its flavor - the drink or the bacon! Today I ordered the Mushroom and Arugula Quiche. Again, I enjoyed it but I wouldn't order it again, either. In a quiche crust, it is a blend of Wintonbury Farms (I'm assuming that's local?) shiitake mushrooms, wild mushrooms, arugula, goat cheese and caramelized onions. Frankly, the quiche needed a lot more of the filling as I thought it was sparse. The broccolini had an odd flavor and the petite diced "homefries", as the menu refers to them, were crispy, tasty and uniquely prepared. I visited here on an earlier trip and you simply can't go wrong with this lovely restaurant, and it's scenery of the St. Lawrence River. Their menu changes and offers a sumptuous variety!

    Wow! The Chateau has changed formats, but the food is still delicious! Love the whiskey burger special, and our group was 100% happy with every order. The drink specials were superb. (Pro tip - ask for a tasting of their own distilled drinks!) Sit inside or out, have a few drinks, eat some yummy food, and simply enjoy the amazing river views!

    The food was to die for. We ended up going for brunch and dinner. A nice intimate fine dining experience. All the food was sampling, bar list was great using all their own spirits. The wine list is extensive and amazing as well. Exceptional service. And the coconut curried lobster bisque was my favorite hands down.

    View from the bar.

    We decided to take a mini vacation or a night to this place not far from where we live, and we were extremely pleased to have picked the Chateau! Seating is limited and reservations are required, even for the bar, but this allowed a good amount of distance between guests. The view from the spacious bar is impeccable, we watched the sunset over the St. Lawrence as we enjoyed the local spirits mixed with inventive (and also frequently local) ingredients for delicious cocktails. The fried goat cheese was a light but tasty appetizer during our drinks. Currently, the distillery makes multiple varieties of whiskey, vodka, rye, and absinthe with about 90% of their ingredients grown locally. They use fresh water from the St. Lawrence, so the flavor of the spirits is unique and essentially impossible to duplicate. I sampled the whiskeys and rye, and they were all top notch! Dinner was superb, I greatly enjoyed the Wagu beef which was succulent, perfectly cooked, and possibly one of the best pieces of steak I've ever had. The pairings with a potato au gratin and sweet potato slice were excellent, and the sauce provided a complimentary but not overwhelming taste to this exceptional piece of beef. My wife had the duck which looked delicious and, unsurprisingly, was also from New York. A white chocolate torte disappeared quickly after it was brought out for dessert. This paired really well with the in house cream liqueur. We spent the night in an expansive guest room at the Chateau which is filled with 1930's opulence and charm. The Art Deco bathroom was particularly interesting, and the architecture is a fascinating trip into the days of yesteryear. Overall, this was an exceptional trip with wonderful drinks, food, views, and accommodations. Definitely would recommend!

    A-MA-ZING. From start to finish, from drinks to dessert, there really isn't another word for our first experience here. There is a farm to table culture here with a lot of pride in the food they serve and you can taste it. Pretty much everything is made from scratch, in house. We started at the bar for a couple drinks including the Hunter's cocktail and the Brown Butter Old Fashioned's (my names might be a little off as the menu is down due to the corona shut down so I can't really cheat right now and double check). We also had one more that was good I just can't remember the name of it right now. The Hunter's cocktail was really good but the Old fashioned...YES. Old fashioned's are my drink of choice so I've had many over the years and this one was amazing and memorable The flavor! Smoky, touch of sweetness and the brown butter really takes it to the next level. I'm just blown away by this drink. Side note they have their own distillery which is what is served in their bar. We've visited their tasting room in downtown Clayton and ended up getting a bottle of their bourbon and rye whiskey so we were already a fan of those. We went for date night and the menus were presented with a wax seal which I just loved (I'm totally coming up with a family coat of arms and getting my own wax seal now). Anyway the date deal is on Thursdays (not sure if they do it during tourist season) for $50 you get two salads, bread, two entrees and a shared dessert. Crazy awesome deal. There's also 10% off a bottle of wine. The salads had a list of house made dressings that all sounded amazing. I ended up with the wasabi one. It was super creamy and had a good balance of the wasabi flavor, I could definitely taste it but it wasn't in any way overpowering like wasabi can be. Now the bread was warm and fluffy but the star was the olive oil that they had infused with mushrooms, lemon, rosemary and a few other things. I could drink this stuff right out of the bottle. Honestly I could totally go here in summer, get just a glass of wine and an order of bread with this olive oil and sit outside to enjoy the view. Oy vey I've written a book and I'm just now getting to the main courses. I went with the salmon and my husband got the schnitzel. My only negative is that my salmon was a little overcooked. But the lemony sauce, the great couscous and nicely charred asparagus made this dish great. My husband and I do that whole switch meals thing because two is better than one, live a little. The schnitzel was really good. It was nice and crispy, the pork tasted great, that sauce was so good and the potato and red cabbage completed this dish. Just oh so good! For dessert we went with the apple fritter. Now I'm not a huge fan of doughnut type foods so I wasn't big on this one. I kind of let my husband talk me into this and I do love apple based desserts so I went with it. Now the ice cream, whipped cream, caramel and bacon bits were all great. Just not a fan of the fritter but that's probably more of a me problem then any issue with the dessert. The service we had was great, very friendly. The day wasn't super nice but I could tell the view would be great on a nicer day. To sum up this was an amazing meal. I will be back as soon as this whole lock down thing is over with!

We were able to get a nice space outdoors that faces the marina. We came with the notation that they had gluten-free options. Though it was noted at the bottom of their menus, the server was a little light on the knowledge of what could be gluten-free. It appears they have a lot that can work, but just need a bit more understanding from staff. We got a modified garlic chicken over potato instead of pasta, black and blue nachos, and a Mediterranean platter. The flavors on everything was excellent. There was such a dynamic bite in each of the dishes. Flavors had tremendous depth, and the menu variety was superb. Of note the hummus on the platter had a smokiness that made it unique and delicious. It was better than a standard Mediterranean platter, and I have to applaud them. For improvement, there was not an easily accessible menu online, and that might be one area to work on. Overall, this was a lovely evening and a lovely place for anybody to visit .

Here's the pros: small quaint setting with nice clean high top tables and chairs. The bar was small but stocked well. Here's the cons: very slow service, overpriced menu items. When we came in, we ordered our drinks which came fairly quickly. Since the server was also the bartender, we were waiting a while for her to take our order. I ordered the turkey club sandwich while my wife ordered a BLT sandwich. Both sandwiches did not come with a side..those were extra. We ordered a side of fries to share. Those sandwiches and fries should not have taken long to make and be served. However, we waited at least 30 minutes while the server was eating pizza with the folks at the bar. We were the only dining customers in there at the time. When the order came out, the toast on the BLT and the bacon was cold. She said she would go "warm it up". We asked for new toast. I will say that the food tasted fine. My club sandwich would have been worth the menu price of $16 if it came with a side. However, my wife's BLT, even if it came with a side, would still be overpriced at $14. Overall, for the value, the food delivered was a bit pricey. Would we go there again to eat? No. But if all you want is to stop in for a drink or two, it would be fine.
