    We visited the Waltham location for my mothers birthday tonight. We had a 6:15 reservation that I had made weeks in advance. When we arrived our table wasn’t ready and we had to wait which was fine but when they sat us they sat us in a small function room with a huge other party with crying babies. It was so loud we asked to be moved, which they did. But they moved us next to another table that was even louder with about 7 kids screaming and running all around. The waiter didn’t introduce himself was not friendly in the slightest and also took quite literally 15 min to bring our drinks over. He did not ask for refills and would walk away before all of us were done asking if we could get them. Most of us went with empty drinks for more than half of the meal. Never asked how it was. We piled up our plates and moved them to the end of the table after what seemed like forever being done eating. I had brought my own cake and the hostess took it at the beginning and I had to ask the waiter to bring the cake and plates and forks. He didn’t come for about 15 more minutes and in that time span my father had went to the restroom. The waiter lights the cake when he blantely sees my father not at the table and we had to do it without him. I was not happy about that as it’s been a tough year for us and we wanted everyone present for my mother to sing happy birthday. We couldn’t wait because he has already lit the candles and it was melting all over the cake. The food was bland the salad has NO dressing on it that my other ordered and the toasted ravioli was soggy. This is by far the worst experience I’ve ever had at the chateau and we’ve been going for years. I would like a manager to contact me via email or phone please.

    Everyone enjoyed the dinner, food was great. Big portions, ate the leftovers the next day. Only complaint was that we weren't able to do separate checks for a large group. It was a lot of work to work out what everyone had and what amount to put on multiple cards. In the end it was still a lot for the poor server to have to run so many separate cards.

We understand the challenge of managing separate checks for a large group, and we appreciate your patience in working through that.
