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 .

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.

Split chicken breast entree- this and the Waldorf salad were delicious. Our server was so kind also! Best meal I've had in months!

I was lured here because someone said it was better than Bistro de Margo; it was not. Service was good from the server and poor from the bus boys and kitchen. The kitchen failed in many ways. Could I give it fractional scorse it would be 2.6. The server was good and had a phenomenal memory to take all our orders with no notes. Wow! The three appetizers were delivered out of order. One came. Fast forward 20 minutes; the remaining two came out. The appetizer dishes were never cleared. They hung around until we decided not to have desert! The appetizers were underwhelming; how can you screw up a Caesar salad? The main courses disappointed in many ways. The dishes were serverd luke warm. Mussels were dehydrated on top of the heap and obvioulsy sat under a heat map. The steaks were cooked well but accompaniments were cold, cool, or barely warm; take your pick none were appetizing. The plates were stone cold which didn't help. Finally after dinner was served and eaten and plates cleared for deserts we did not order the remaining plates and debis were cleared from the table. Not good. Not professional. Not worth the money. The wines were good. The beer was good. Dinner came to $275 plus another $60 tip. It wasn't worth it. There is clealry issues in the kitchen and staff. They were simply not into it. I would not come back. If you want a French dinner look elsewhere or just don't try that in Burlington.

My boyfriend got the chicken with pastry and said it was also fine. The ambiance was really nice, and I think if we weren't showing up at the last possible moment it would have been a slightly nicer dining experience.

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.

I really wish we would've found this place sooner as we would've visited more than once! The decor is fairly eclectic and reminiscent of New Orleans French Quarter. Superb cocktail menu! I decided on the Brooklyn, very delicious! My wife enjoyed a glass of wine. We had starters of their popcorn and marinated olives. Another well done taste treat. For our main courses I ordered their grilled pork chop but starting with their spring onion bisque. My wife decided on their hamburger without a bun. Our food was delivered, relatively quickly, just enough time in between our courses! The spring onion bisque was absolutely delicious! My pork chop was perfectly cooked and perfect. I've never had sautéed green onions before, but it was a great compliment to the pork chop as well as the Romasco sauce. My wife's burger looked tasty. She ordered it medium well and was delivered well done. We were too full to even considered dessert. However, that didn't stop me from having another one of those delicious Brooklyn cocktails! My wife thought their restroom was well decorated and very clean as well. Again, wish we would've discovered this place sooner, as we would've been back! Keep up the great work!

I had every expectation that it would the perfect setting for a quiet dinner with a lovely view, exceptional cuisine and attentive service. Unfortunately, for a restaurant of this caliber, they did not meet the mark. Let's start with the good stuff. They have a parking lot which is really appreciated in Bolton Landing, NY. We were warmly greeted at the door and wished Happy Anniversary. We were seated on the porch (our choice of tables because there was only one set of two diners in the restaurant at 6 p.m. on a Sunday night). Off to a good start. I commented about the pretty dress the hostess (at least we assumed she was) who seated us was wearing. A sweet Jamaican gal who goes by "Skinny Girl" offered water and chatted with us (we recognized her Caribbean accent and asked her which Jamaican parish she was from). She was more attentive to us during the evening than our waiter, Owen (he was clearly overwhelmed handling tables on the porch as well as on the patio outside). To his credit, Owen was honest about the crab legs and we were grateful. Service was slow, from drinks to getting the bill. What really rattled our chains is that the hostess in the pretty dress visited diners at every table on the porch - sometimes more than once - except us. We felt ignored. Our drinks were very good. The specialty of the house (a cucumber concoction) was actually the signature drink at our wedding. My husband enjoyed it. My Blood Orange Martini was delicious, albeit $18 which I thought was more like NYC prices. Appetizers were good. I ordered the Escargot which was served on puff pastry with a light cream sauce. Delicious. My husband's Grilled Clams did not look to be grilled at all, and swimming in what appeared to be the same cream sauce as my Escargot which, because he is lactose intolerant, was a concern. My husband's Chef's Choice steak was strip steak, cooked rare as requested, and served over truffle mashed potatoes with asparagus spears on the side. While pricey st $65, he was pleased. I ordered the venison, rare ($41). What was served to me were 2-1/2 small medallions of which two were rare and one was seriously well done (could not eat it). Spinach was on the side. I would have loved some of the yummy truffle mashed potatoes that accompanied my husband's steak. Again, with no one paying attention to us, by the time our waiter came to check on our food, my husband was already finished with his meal. So Owen's offer to return my overcooked venison to the kitchen was not an option. I packed my dinner to go. We asked for an order of churros to share and two coffees (the espresso machine apparently wasn't working). The coffee was old and barely lukewarm. We asked for replacements. One would think that the kitchen staff would try to make up for their two errors and at least provide us with fresh replacements. Nope. They probably microwaved the first two cups. I did not drink mine. This restaurant claims to be rated among the top 100 in the country. We certainly expected better service and care worthy of their New York City prices. I've worked in the hospitality industry for over 40 years and would never disrespect customers like that, especially when they chose my restaurant for a special occasion. So yes, I was disappointed. Would we give Chateau on the Lake another chance? We have so many wonderful choices in Saratoga and Albany (which would have been the same distance). Maybe.
