Arrived at Lakeside and got a table on the deck facing the water and incoming boats. Wait staff gave us menus and took our drink order. I ordered the blackened shrimp tacos which came with shoe string fries. Friend got the strawberry salad. She said it was delicious. I've had shrimp tacos before but I'm happy to say these were exceptional. Tacos had crispy lettuce, diced tomatoes, an avocado aioli on a flour tortilla. Yum. Fries were also perfectly crispy. A marvelous lunch. Parking is more than adequate. Staff were quick to assist. Other patrons chatted with everyone. The placed was totally hopping. Nice place oozing with ambiance.

The lack of flavor and basic presentation was over compensated by portion. The gnocchi was not warm with a small amount of sauce buried at the bottom of the bowl. The pancetta overcooked and the overall dish lacked flavor. The second item was a massive chicken cutlets sandwich. This was similar with no flavor despite the pesto. The only dish that was not boring and very delicious was the carrot cake, likely from a separate bakery. I wasnt drinking that evening but the draft list contained some exceptional breweries. The server was 5 stars and the rating does not reflect his craft. This maybe a place for beer rather than dinner.

The food absolutely delivered. The chicken wings had that perfect crunch in every bite, and everything we ordered was on point, the pasta lovers (chicken and shrimp over penne), the chicken stack with eggplant, and the wings were all excellent. What stood out just as much was the service. Even though the place was packed, it still felt cozy, and the staff never missed a beat. Drinks were never empty, and you could tell the team is well-trained and dialed in. The owner was right there in the mix, delivering food, making drinks, and greeting customers. That kind of presence says a lot about a place. Nice touch on the way out too, being thanked for coming. It's simple, but it sticks. Definitely a spot worth going back to! PS don't skip dessert!

The menu is huge and full of some classic dishes. They have a full bar so we started off with some drinks, I just went with wine today but my sister enjoyed an espresso martini. We were also brought out some fresh bread and butter and I may have over indulged. I knew I wanted to try the lobster bisque - a favorite of mine. It was served with a fried lobster ravioli on top. The soup was delicious and had an excellent depth of flavor, but I did find the ravioli to be a bit flavorless. I would order this again, or even try the New England chowder too. The entrees come with salad as well, they were bright and fresh and the dressings were great. Honestly, we both were so full by the time the entrees came, we barely touched them, but definitely took them home. The entree portions were huge. I ordered the Veal Milanese. The veal was pretty good, not as tender as I would usually expect, but it had good flavor. I love arugula too. The risotto was a miss for me, it seemed to be loaded with dried oregano, which didn't match the flavor profiles of the main entree and took away from the dish. This is a cute little hidden gem and with a menu that big, I wouldn't hesitate to return. Service was great and the ambiance is super homey.

It's been a few years since I've been to Chez Nous. It first opened in 2015 under different owners,…read moreproviding a high end French country experience, complete with deliciously authentic food and snooty staff. It closed in 2019 before the pandemic, and reopened in 2022 under new ownership with a French-Italian inspired menu, with a dash of Cajun cuisine mixed in. My first couple experiences since it reopened were good, but a little confusing. The Italian and Cajun inspired dishes threw me off, mostly because I didn't understand the concept. I also popped by during Schenectady's first Tater Trot, where they made a delicious little potato puff, with a potato chip wedged on the top -- adorable and yummy. But last night my partner and I made reservations to try something new and really sit down for a good meal there -- we were not disappointed. As previously mentioned, the menu features a few different options, including a quick menu for Theater goers for around $50-55. There were four sections that each include a choice between two entrees, a starter salad, fresh warm bread, non-alcohol drink, and two desserts to choose from. The options vary from wild mushroom ravioli, to crab stuffed fish, and there was a gluten free and vegetarian options. The main menu had many other options, so I decided to start with the New England clam chowder, then the Chicken and Wild Mushroom Pappardelle, and ordered the Creme Brulee for dessert. My dish came with a starter salad and there was delicious warm table bread with whipped butter. The clam chowder came first and was delicious. Full of rich creamy flavor, nice chunks of pork, and of course beautifully tasty clams. I got the honey mustard dressing with my side salad and it was great with a subtle mustard taste, and I really appreciated they was they chopped down the cucumbers into small, thin, seedless slices and the tomato was diced into small 1/4 inch cubes, giving them an elegant and enjoyable texture element to an otherwise mundane dressing. The Chicken and Wild Mushroom Pappardelle was fantastic. It had a rich tasty tarragon cream sauce and great umami flavor. The pasta was rustic home made, cooked with perfect texture, and the mushrooms had the perfect bite. Truly an enjoyable dish. Finally, I ended with the Creme Brulee which blew us both away. The last time I had this dessert at a different restaurant, it was overcooked and not pleasant. But this one was flawless in both flavor and texture. Wonderful job! As for the atmosphere, it was just with you would hope. Calm, warm, inviting, and home-y. I believe there was very subtle music playing, and the seating was comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. They were extremely busy, and so we had to wait for a few things, but it wasn't terrible, nor was it through a neglect. They would check in regularly, and apologized for any delays. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. If you want to go to a French restaurant, but have additional delicious options, Chez Nous is definitely the right place!

All the entries are served with soup, salad and bread. The entries are all good. Last time I had their broiled breaded pork chop with baked potato (they don't do vegetables) it was large and perfectly cooked. (I took half home.) You can order two of them if you're ravenous. Tonight I ordered the Swiss sea scallops. They were cooked perfectly, but personally I was not a fan of the Swiss cheese lightly covering the scallops. In the past I've had the Lamb Chops (kidney chops), NY Strip and the broiled Haddock. All were excellent. If you want a neighbor hood place to go, Harold's is it.
