Chateau isn't the best looking place as once you walk in everything has a very outdated look, but the service, and food make up for it. Based off of Yelp this isn't a place that I would normally go because of the bad reviews, but many of those reviews are over 10 years old and it has been under new management, which has seemed to make a difference as I've gone three or four time in the year and I haven't had a bad experience. I think Chateau can compete with a lot of the restaurants within the area and I think the people that are looking for a new bar/restaurant should give this place a try! read more

We sat in the bar area overlooking the lake. The service was excellent and the food was wonderful. We both had haddock piccata with angel hair pasta. It was so delicious! We'll be back! read more

The Food was great. Becky my server was very nice. Also the guy Bartender ( so sorry l didn't note his name and he's a huge Soccer Fan). I didn't feel rushed to order (that's a plus for me). The Ambiance was just right for a Sunday evening. I had an amazing Fisherman Platter ( cooked to perfection) Thanks Chef. Along with Becky's awesome 2/'s. read more

The Chateau - The Fishermen Platter and Martini. - Italian Near Me - Norton, Massachusetts

I met some friends for dinner at The Chateau last week and it was wonderful. The view is so pretty, even on an overcast day. We all started with Watermelon margaritas and they were perfectly delicious. I had the Haddock Piccata and loved every bite. And you can't go wrong with Montilios Lemon Cake to finish it off! Our server Dawn was so sweet and attentive without being overbearing. She was wonderful! Overall, it was a perfect evening from start to finish. read more

Service was great. Food was so-so. Lasagna and meat sauce was tasty and hot. Chicken Parm alla Vodka was lukewarm at best, the breading tasted like it had been in the fridge or freezer, and the pasta that came with it was flavorless. The vodka sauce was not a typical vodka sauce, and may have been ok if it were hot. Disappointing meal. read more

The food was AMAZING. We had Rhode Island Calamari which is the spicy version (excellent) for the appetizer followed by a Cheddar Bacon burger for me and a Mushroom Cheddar burger for my wife. The service was superb! Highly recommend this place for a dinner on the pond. The sunset was spectacular, also. read more

This place must be headed towards going out of business. It was dead for a Saturday lunch. Service was slow and untrained. Food was reheated and bland. They charge $5 for a lemonade. Sauce tasted like it was made weeks ago. The only thing they got right was the bread. They even gave me a used child's menu. This place needs a reset button. The ginger ale drink was also flat. read more

My experience got off to a very rocky start due to abysmal bar service. Arriving early, I decided to wait at the bar for my party to arrive. The waits were so long, one would think I was at the RMV! I would be more understanding if it were busy, but both the restaurant and bar were far from bustling. When it came to the drinks, I had two mocktails. If I recall correctly, one was an N/A version of a sparkling sangria, and the other was a lime tart. While neither was horrible, neither was something I would order again. The sangria was far too sweet, and a lemon wedge was floating in the drink itself rather than being a garnish. Was I supposed to fish it out with my hands? The lime tart was on the opposite end of the spectrum, being too tart and proving that a little sweetness does go a long way. When my party arrived, we began our dinner. The food was generally okay and decent, but nothing worth raving or writing home about. From the App Trio, I was able to try a toasted raviolo and a mozzarella stick. Both weren't bad, but not good enough that I'd order a standalone appetizer in the future. The raviolo was nicely toasted, though perhaps a little more crispness was called for, and the cheese filling was pleasant, but not mind-blowing. As for the mozzarella stick, while I've had worse, these also weren't great. I believe mozzy sticks should be crisp and gooey, the kind where you see how far the cheese will pull. These are bite and done, with no pulling to be done. For a main, I had the Trio 2 (Lasagna, Chicken Parm & Fettuccine Alfredo): Fettuccine Alfredo: This was my favorite. While a simpler dish, it was very well executed. The pasta was cooked and sauced perfectly. If I were to return, I would get this as a main if available. Lasagna: This was lackluster, with nothing to make it shine. The layers were there, but the execution meant that it might as well have been a pasta, tomato, and cheese salad. A little toastiness, different tomato sauce, maybe some meat, or a cheese blend would have gone a long way. Chicken Parm: This was also a miss. While I always appreciate some Parm, the chicken tasted dry and lacked a crisp exterior to boot. It was better than frozen stuff from the grocer's, but only just. Where I do want to give them some credit was regarding their desserts. I had the opportunity to try the chocolate cake and the carrot cake. Both were great, and the carrot cake was a favorite. However, if memory serves, they get these from a local bakery, so I'm not even sure if "their" desserts is the appropriate term. The table service was better than the bar service, but there was still room for improvement. It was a little faster, but especially considering how empty the restaurant was, I feel as though it could have been more attentive (with water refills, for example). Final Verdict: This was a case where my friends selected a place that would be a halfway point between all of us (isn't being an adult lovely?). I was there for the company more than the food. However, I am still a foodie, and based on this experience, there are better options out there across all parameters. With this, even if my friends want to return here, I wouldn't rebel, but I would certainly suggest some alternative options. read more

Honestly, this place hasn't changed much since I was a kid in the 90s and it was Ann's Place. I will say I think the food has gotten better. The service is pretty good and the ambiance good if you don't mind how dark it is when you walk in. As long as you ask to sit in front of the window you should be fine as the view is beautiful and you can usually catch a couple of Swans near by. The food is so good. Especially for the price point! I didn't expect much tbh but this is my 2nd time back in a couple of months and the food hit both times! Consistent and yummy! read more

The view, that's the one star, everything else was pretty terrible, the bread was like fresh from a grocery store, but it was fresh, the soup and salad we ordered came out after our burgers were served. The salad was ok, thick slice of onion unripe tomatoes. The burgers were overcooked and dry, mine was missing the onions, the fries were good. The chowder came with a thick coating of skin Our waiter was attentive at first then just nowhere to be found. On the way there was a booth of people who worked there?!? Doing nothing, but saying bye thank you for coming, maybe they should help manage the waitstaff read more

Food was outstanding. The price was not but I had a gift cars. I got a Sunday special. Chicen Parm in a vodka sauce with noodles. Real good. But it came with a soup or salad. I asked for Cesar salad. They never put the salad in the takeout bag. I should have checked but I trust they'd be efficient. Oh well. read more

Amy Can you tell me why you don't have a simple gadget that most all restaurants have to call your guest to the host/hostess podium, to escort you to a table? It's simple because I was greeted and my name was jotted down, but NOBODY came to check in on us, so I went to ask and was told your hostess would have a table soon and come find us. Get a set of the devices or just use the phone number you asked me to give you and keep in touch. Was a horrible undertaking if you cannot handle the additional business it brought, don't advertise for it!! To run out of entrees on a limited menu, leave bus bins with stacks of dirty dishes exposed n BAR FLOOR! ... and 10-12 of your staff eating in side bar area while our food asks were neglected, should I continue?? PLACE HAS A LOT TO CHANGE!! I doubt you will take my advice either. read more

Went in added our name to the wait list for a table, was told 20 minutes, we said we would wait at the bar, was told no problem , after about 45 minutes we ask what was up and was told they had no idea how much longer it would be. Another 45 minutes later we decided to order our meal at the bar. 1st and 2nd choice meals were no longer available. Very disappointed. However our server Diniz was great. read more

The food was great. Service was so so. Ambiance was very nice. Family style perfect.

Tonight my Mom and her friends attended a fundraising event for the Mansfield COA. It was nice of the Chateau to hold the event, and the food was good. Their waitress, Kristie, did an amazing job and should be recognized for being an great server. The place was packed and their she seemed to be waiting on the entire restaurant. read more

Matthew poliseno is one of the best workers there. The food was exceptional and Matthew was very kind to us. Friendly environment

Well I tried it again and I must say nothing has changed. The gentleman that waited on us was superb but the female working with him was something else. I didn't appreciate her throwing plastic bar containers from the sink all over my drink and phone. Looks like I all set with this place. FINALLY read more

Value for food pricing isn't what it should be - $18 for ravioli and meat sauce is highly overpriced - especially when there's so pitiful amount of meat in the sauce. Management does a lot of apologizing in reviews I see but when you're there, they just shrug their shoulders and don't make any adjustments to the food or the price. read more

I've been here many times and always enjoy it. The atmosphere is a bit old school, with dark wood and wide booths. The service is usually very good. We were greeted immediately and offered a choice of seating. We had a roomy, comfy booth. The menu offers a wide variety, including specialty seasonal cocktails and daily specials for meals. There's a lunch menu but the entire menu is also available. We were there for lunch, but I couldn't resist the red sangria. It was amazing and a generous pour. I ordered the Eggplant Parm sandwich with onion rings. My date chose the Broiled Scallops. Our waiter offered to bring bread, but never returned. Just as well, because my sandwich was served on enough bread for two. Perhaps I should have asked for a description of the "Chateau Scali Bread." But it sounded delicious. It was, but it was cut far to thick for a sandwich like this. To make matters worse, the eggplant was barely warm. After a few bites, I removed the top of the bread and enjoyed it open faced style - a bit messy but doable. The onion rings were another story. They stole the show! Thinly sliced, golden fried and not greasy. And they were nice and hot. They saved the day, Along with the sangria. The scallops got good reviews and looked very good. They arrived with a generous portion of mashed potatoes and a side of Cole slaw. He cleaned his plate. Our food was delivered by someone other than our waiter. He eventually reappeared, sans bread, and reported having just returned from foot surgery. TMI, perhaps, or an excuse for being absent. I commented on the difficulty, with being in his feet so much. He replied, 'no shit" and left the check. Not the best experience and certainly not up to par with previous dining experiences there. I would definitely return, but would avoid the scali bread (and the waiter) in the future. Forgive the late photo, dear reader, as I had worked thru half the meal before remembering. read more

The Chateau - Eggplant Parm Sandwich (broiled scallops in the background) - Italian Near Me - Norton, Massachusetts

It was the bad, we ordered 3 Toasted Ravioli and Chicken Parmesan they messed the order up we also got Spaghetti and Meatballs, a Meatball Pizza and Salmon and Fries, we received what looked like Road Kill in a plastic container, we passed it around trying to figure out what it was, that was in place of one of the Chicken Parmesan, my Chicken was all stingy like they had cooked an old Roaster, and it was hard ,that went into the trash, they replaced my Chicken and the other Chicken Parm, my son-in-law had to go back for the second time, my daughter is from New Hampshire and was looking forward to her meal for two years, never again I have been going to what was Nocera's over 30 and now they are the Chateau, it was almost $150.00 Dollars, I will stay home before I ever get anything from there again, they should be ashamed of themselves. read more

Got takeout and it was chicken parm and them noodles are wayyyyyyy too thin and the chicken tasted like my high-schools chicken , smh

Been many tines bu latest visit was so very disappointing - ordered from lunch special for ravioli which PASTA dishes were listed at 13.50 but their ravioli had upcharge of $2 for their very own ricotta (!) with meat sauce for another upcharge of $2.50. What I receved was pea-sized pieces of what looked like chopped up meatball and there were only 5 pieces of them as the meat sauce... I was shocked and asked server who admitted it did seem less than usual and commented "but it is our first order of the day." What did that mean? Bottom line while the ravioli was good depsite the lack of meat in the sauce, it certainly wasn't worth $18 for a shallow salad-sized bowl that had 5 maybe 6 squares of ravioli. I had just purchased a gift card for a friend before sitting down to the meal ... wish I hadn't bothered. Management didn't show any concern about my issue about meat sauce either by the way. NOT going back unless I read someone has had a much better experience than we did. read more

Ask for containers to take home uneaten pasta and my wife's fried clams. Waitress brought two cardboard containers. I asked if i could get a plastic container of some kind. She insisted the cardboard container wouldn't soak thru as it was wax coated. I told her if it did I would be coming back for her to clean my car. When we got home the container and the bag had soaked thru just ass i predicted. I return and found her told her get a bucket and sponge to clean my car. She said it not supposed to leak. Duh!!! The clerk at the desk brought me some plastic containers like I had asked for originally. The waitress said see was going to talk to her manager about the leakage. This is my second poor review of the chateau. We went there because my wife enjoys their fried clams however Lorenzo's also has good fried clams. That's where we'll go next time. read more

OK, Let me say we have been customers for over 50 years. Starting in Waltham. There was a period where the quality was just not exciting as it used to be, especially during the Covid years "honey". Yesterday, we ordered takeout from the Norton restaurant and we are still talking about it today. Just great! Yes, great! We ordered from the family menu an order of chicken parm. Enough for 5 as they advertise. Man, that brought back memories. Meat sauce over the 15 ravs, a whole loaf of scali bread and best of all, cooked perfectly. They are back. At 2:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, reheated at 7pm, a great meal. Thank you Chateau. read more

My husband made reservations for our anniversary, the main point of us going was to sit at the water view and we were told no we could not. Disappointed but ok. My husbands ginger ale was all seltzer and had to get a new one, ok things happen. I ordered the steak tips with a baked potato, my plate comes and I had steak tips and a sad over cooked baked potato with no toppings. Just a potato, when I asked for cheese he said there is cheese in the table. SHake parm cheese. No sour cream nothing. Whatever. Husband orders the seafood platter. The shrimp was hard, the tarter sauce was gross, the scallops were ok the fish was meh, none of the batter stayed on the food, it was all falling off. Our waiter was ok and nothing was really his fault and they were closing in a half hour. We didn't eat our meals it was that bad. We didn't complain or make a fuss, tipped well and didn't even take our food home. Maybe it was because it was close to closing and they wanted to go home but we definitely will not go back after such a disappointing experience. ​ read more

I got married yesterday and without the château indoor and it would not have been half as beautiful as we wanted from Colleen to the waitresses even to the people that cleaned up they were amazing. They went above and beyond they were kind and professional and informative and fun. They were amazing, I sent my guest list and their food orders over by text message cause I don't drive. I put out the tags for the seating chart they put out all the stuff for the tables. They were amazing so thank you Château. I give you at five out of five, and I recommend this place to anybody looking to have any party wedding retirement any of it this is your definite go to the food was amazing. to update this review I have not stopped getting phone calls and comments about how amazing the food was quite a few of our guest had been to (1) if not multiple weddings prior two hours and I said it was the best wedding food that they had had right down to the cranberry sauce to go with the stuffed chicken It was hot. It was tasty. It was awesome so I wanted to add that in there so if you're looking to have a function, you're not getting function food you're getting amazing food, thank you very much again read more

Had a couple decent experiences. This time way under par. Roasted potatoes way undercooked, gnocchi way over cooked and completely forgot the garlic bread. I called and declined their offer to come 1/2 hour round trip to pick some up. Didn't offer a refund. Guess I'm taking a break. read more

A solid 3 and not a smidge more. They have a big bar area but strangely the only beer they serve is bud, Michelob, Sam Adams etc. Zero craft beer and they were out of only IPA they had (harpoon). So if you're looking for good beer, go elsewhere. My fiancé ordered the haddock sandwich with onion rings and said the haddock tasted like it was frozen "I could of had better haddock at a sports bar" was his direct quote. I ordered the turkey BLT and opted to change out the fries for the Caesar salad (an upgrade that was $1.50 more) when it came out I was surprised to see that I was served half a sandwich instead. I was kind of bummed and surprised because I was hungry/ I saw "pick two" on the bill when it came so I guess the waitress assumed that was what I was ordering?! Overall a disappointing lunch but it was nice to come here for the nostalgia (we both grew up here when it was Anne's place. read more
