We were a large...and sometimes noisy...group of family diners that met for dinner on a Friday evening at the Chateau in Waltham. Despite it being a very busy time of the week and our unexpectedly adding an additional diner to our reservation at the last minute we were still graciously greeted and accommodated by their staff. Our server Kelly was phenomenal and clearly knew how to handle a large table of diners. She was polite, professional and personable. Every request was accurately met and her pleasant and efficient approach was very much appreciated. Our meals were delivered to us in a timely manner, too, and she made sure we were taken care of the entire time we dined there. She was extremely organized as well when it came time to settle the tab and a truckload of credit cards and cash were given to her to make that happen. It was no problem for her whatsoever. The Chateau in Waltham has been serving diners for decades and never once in all the years I have dined there have I ever had a bad experience. Good food at a fair and honest price and great service, too. ~ E. Pizzi

We appreciate your loyalty over the years and look forward to welcoming you back for many more memorable meals! 🍽️😊

Made a reservation for my daughter’s birthday. She likes this place, I came all the way from Texas to see her. Got seated and then was ignored for 20 minutes. The two servers that were working the section looked us, ignored us, cleaned tables instead of even saying hello. After 20 minutes I got up to ask the hostess if their restaurant wants our business and right away she was dismissive. Like she knew that we were being ignored. Even the bus person pointed at us and asked why we haven’t been acknowledged yet. The two servers seemed to be arguing over who’s table this was, and both seemed to have terrible attitudes. I was willing to stay and be seated in another spot, but my daughter was embarrassed and just wanted to go. The host asked if I would Wait to talk to the manager. I said, why. Not like they were offering me anything to earn my business back. Place was outdated and noisy with lots of loud kids. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
The Chateau - WalthamResponded on February 25, 2025
Hi Neil, we sincerely apologize for the experience you had while trying to celebrate your daughter’s birthday at The Chateau Waltham. That’s not the level of service we strive for, and we understand how frustrating and disappointing it must have been—especially given the occasion and the distance you traveled. Your feedback is very concerning, and we will be addressing it with our team to ensure better communication and attentiveness. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and regret that we missed the opportunity to make things right. We hope you will return in the future so we can show you the experience you should have received.
