I recently attended a wedding event. Both the Service and Food were sensational. I have also dined at the Chateau and the atmosphere was second to none. I would highly recommend to anyone living or visiting the area to dine at this establishment.

Went for my husband's dinner in late March. Worst dining experience of my/our life! Terrible food & service & completely overpriced for mediocre food. The service was terrible and slow. Our soups were cold. My husband's prime rib was way over done and bland. My kid's dinners were edible. We ordered a large seafood tower as an appetizer and not only was it tiny and unimpressive, but I got deathly ill from the seafood!!!! We even had to head home 1 day early. I vomited for 24 hours and then was sick all Easter weekend. I called and left a message for Tony, on of the mangers & the owner's brother. I did not hear back from him for over a week. I received a vague text from him like 8 days later, and called to follow up and he was "too busy." So, I asked to speak to another manager and a female manager got on the phone and was not empathetic at all and a rude and very sarcastic person, truly unprofessional. She pretty much fought me and said it wasn't their food and no one else got sick. Well... it only takes one piece of bad seafood. She was extremely rude to me and dismissive and accused me of yelling at her, which is a joke. I had her on speaker and my family could not believe it. Also, I texted Tony and explained what happened during the call and he has yet to call me back. What a disappointment, not only in this restaurant, but in humanity!Terrible experience - never again - save your money!

Went for the Easter buffet and wow! It was amazing. So much food to choose from and so delicious. From fresh fruit, breakfast foods, quiche, charcuterie boards, dinner sides, and chef sliced ham and prime rib. Chef and his crew did a GREAT job with the food and presentation. Dessert table was overflowing! We had wonderful service from our waitress Lyndsie, great drinks from the bartender Danny, greeted by the friendly owners and were sat at a cozy table by Shannon. Were in awe to see the owners and ALL of their family , including their brothers, daughters and grandma, working to make it such a lovely time for Easter. Love supporting a family owned business! We will DEFINITELY be back for some of that wonderful food and atmosphere!!!

loved everything about it. Lamb lollipops and calamari were fantastic and flavorful. The chefs cut was cooked perfectly. Our server told us all about the story behind the rub on the steak and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be coming back!!

Ladies grab your cute sundress and head over to The Chateau for an exquisite dining experience with your guy or girlfriends. The atmosphere is super cute(think Farmhouse French) and the service is absolutely top tier! Now for the food... drumroll please.... Fine dining also comes with fine dining portions so I suggest ordering a soup(onion is superb) or salad before diving into your main dish and you MUST have dessert. If you're lucky enough to snag the doughnuts before they run out count yourself lucky! If not; no worries the other desserts are also quite delicious. Don't forget the wine to complete this eating experience!

It’s convenient that they take reservations. Atmosphere and location are nice. There’s outdoor games around the corner from the restaurant that made the wait for food less problematic. Service was unfortunate and disappointing, it didn’t measure to the price point of the restaurant. Portions were small so take that into account when ordering appetizers. Pretty views.

TLDR: do not waste your time or money here.My family dined here yesterday, and I have never in my life had such a poor restaurant experience. We (a party of four) had a reservation for 7:45. We arrived on time and were told that the kitchen was behind and we could not be seated right away. The hostess was exasperated and mildly apologetic but didn’t offer any time estimate. We patiently waited. At 8:30, we were finally seated. In hindsight we should have taken the seating delay as a sign and taken our business elsewhere, but at that hour on a holiday, our options were limited. After waiting 45 minutes, we thought surely from there it would be a normal experience. We were mistaken. We ordered drinks and meals in an orderly fashion. The server was friendly. They knew we were celebrating my grandmother’s birthday and had a sign on the table for her. That was perhaps the only nice part of the evening. Our food did not arrive until 9:40, over an hour after being seated and nearly two hours after our original reservation. When they did arrive, the meals were mediocre at best. The presentation was poor and the seasoning was almost nonexistent. The chef’s cut (NY strip) was horrific and inedible. The fish meals were both overdone. The risotto and potatoes were sloppy, and the greens were bland. The server again was mildly apologetic about the severe delay. It’s almost like it was normal for them to be so far behind. The restaurant was not overly busy during this time, yet we saw this happening to the other tables near us, including a family with several small children who waited longer than we did. At no time during all of this was the manager walking around, offering apologies or asking if they could bring drinks, appetizers, desserts, or anything, to make up for the poor performance of the kitchen. We later found out the owners were there too. Again, no action on their part. I’ve worked in the service industry and dined at a wide variety of restaurants, and I have never seen anything like this. I’ve seen far more offered for far less inconvenience at far more casual establishments. We left very unsatisfied. We actually went back and told the manager how unhappy we were, to which they said we could come back for breakfast. HA! I would never give this place another chance. We left wishing we had ordered a pizza and could get those three hours of our lives back. I hope that no one else wastes their time and money on this place. It truly does not deserve to be in business.

Went to the Chateau for dinner on Easter Sunday. I was disappointed in the overall experience. I made a reservation for 4 at 7:45PM. Our party showed up on time and the hostess informed us the kitchen was backed up and our table wasn't ready. I thought that would be OK, but was surprised we did not get seated until 8:30PM. After we placed our food and drink orders we proceeded to waited another 45+ minutes. The NY strip was not a great cut, and the fish and chicken dishes were mediocre. For a meal close to $300, I would expect to be wowed by the food or at least not have to wait an exuberant amount of time to be seated for a reservation. Other tables in the restaurant were also waiting quite some time to receive their orders. I complained to the Manager after I settled the bill, she wanted to make things right by offering a gift card for a future meal. I told her I wish the hostess would have just told me our party wouldn't have been seated that night due to short staff for the holiday. I don't think I've ever waited that long for a reservation OR for my party's meals to arrive at the table. I wouldn't spend top dollar here when there are other great options nearby.
not bad but a bit of a let down. so we had easter brunch here... was never able to see a menu before hand for Easter brunch, but after looking at their dinner menu we thought that it would be a lot more upscale, $75 a person, not including beverages or gratuity we were expecting it to be a bit nicer. I will say that some of the food was really delicious like the lobster rolls and some of the desserts, however, the presentation of the food was really sloppy and felt like a buffet in a banquet hall, some of the dishes were OK and a few of them were just bad (scrambled eggs, quiche, bacon) definitely nothing to write home about and l've certainly been to much nicer brunch buffets

Been wanting to come here for sometime for French food since that is hard to find in Florida but it was not what I expected because they don't really have much of a French menu. It's just a mix match of all different types of cuisine. They have pizza menu now which is not online nor French style, it's more Italian. Their hours online are mixed up from what it actually is in the restaurant - says dinner starts at 4:30p but it's actually 5p. Le Premier menu has 3 different times only, 3-5, 4-5 and 4-6p so that's all mixed up. Went for Happy hour. Got the burger but as soon as I touched the bun it was quite cold and the cheese was not melted on to the burger well. Asked for medium-well and got a little less of medium. They were out of one of the ingredients, the tomato marmalade, for the burger. I still ate it since I liked the garlic aioli and red onion jam but it is not good enough to come back for. The bartender was fine. Restaurant is inside the Marriot hotel. Ambiance is rustic French style. No hotel parking available but next to it was a big lot for the marina which we were told was okay to park in.

Terrible except our crème brûlée was excellent and our service was fair. Lobster tails were WAY overcooked and my prime rib was so tough - it tasted like a piece of meat you might be served at Applebees. It was way too expensive for the experience!

We are island residents. We have come here on a regular interval. Was our anniversary dinner. Started off very badly. Arrived on time, greeted by hostess. Phone rang. She picked up and proceeded to try to book a table for twelve, reading off the entire menu to them while we stood there. Another party of four came in. Another hostess greeted them and sat them. We tried to interrupt our hostess but she kept on the phone. Finally sat down. Lovely server went through the menu and specials. I selected the special short rib, wife the pork. One little short rib on some rice. We decided to skip dessert. Bill arrives. $65 for a single small short rib. $165 for two. Two glasses of house wine, a pork chop and single short rib. My mistake for not asking the price for special. Make sure you do. We never overcame the rudeness of the hostess and then was shocked by price and portion size of special entree.

Excellent food and service. We will return. By the way Tony makes the best pizza we had the new pizza being served at the bar.
