    We sat at the bar and were able to converse as the music was Low. The bartenders/waiters gave us great drink and dinner service, even as the restaurant filled up. Our dinners were delicious and generous in size. After dinner, we strolled outside and sat in Adirondack chairs by the lake. It was an especially lovely evening.

    Had a lovely dinner here during our minimoon. We sat in the porch area which had many fans and portable AC units but was still very warm. We had a great view of the lawn. Good and service were excellent.

    We had an absolutely wonderful time dining at the Chateau. Our server was equally wonderful - very nice, friendly and provided us with the time necessary to enjoy our meal. A great selection of appetizers (the Lollipop Lamb Chops were fabulous). Entrees ranged from Chateaubriand to salmon, red snapper and everything in between. The wine last was very impressive and the dessert offerings were outstanding. To top things off there a wonderful view of the lake. We dined on July 16. After viewing the menu and wine list we’re going back tonight.

    Disappointing Welcome Overshadowed the Experience The evening got off to a rough start when the hostess immediately said, “For future notice, children under 12 can only be seated at 5 p.m., but since it’s slow tonight, we’ll let you eat.” It was blunt and rude, (in front of our 7 and 5 year old who are very attentive) especially given that the restaurant was nearly empty. We were caught off guard and unsure how to respond (and didn’t, just nodded). We had booked through OpenTable, where this policy is only mentioned upon scrolling in the description—easy to miss and certainly not emphasized. Once seated, we were placed indoors, even though the outdoor space looked beautiful and not full. Inside, on the covered back porch it was hot and uncomfortable, with poor air circulation and ineffective air conditioning. On a positive note, our server was fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the meal. She truly elevated the experience. The food, however, didn’t live up to the prices. It was mediocre at best, and we’ve had far better meals elsewhere in the lake George area/village, both in terms of flavor, value. Overall, the lack of hospitality upon arrival set a disappointing tone. If there are restrictions for families, they should be clearly communicated and delivered with more courtesy. A little kindness and professionalism would go a long way.
