My parents would take us often to Chateau and we decided to go recently. Probably haven't been in 5 years. Food portions were smaller and way more expensive. Food seemed more run of the mill and more like an Olive Garden chain. Sort of disappointing. In the past I would have given 4 or 5 stars, but not any more.

I like the food, but wish it was warmer. Food seems to cool off very quickly.
The Chateau - BraintreeResponded on June 18, 2025
Hi Marie, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoy the food, but we’re sorry it cooled too quickly—that’s not the experience we want. We’re taking a closer look at timing and plating to ensure dishes stay hotter, longer. We hope to impress you again soon!

We had ordered the mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and they were not heated all the way through the center was still hard cheese and not melted. We had also ordered a large cheese pizza to be cooked well done and it was not. Please note I didn’t ask to send anything back. We just dealt with it at the time.
The Chateau - BraintreeResponded on June 18, 2025
Hi Mary, Thank you for your honest feedback. We're truly sorry your mozzarella sticks and pizza didn’t arrive up to our standards. We appreciate your patience in not asking for a replacement and will use this to improve our prep and oven settings. We hope you'll give us another chance to get it right next time.
