Charming eatery serving French fare, wine & Sunday brunch in an upscale-casual setting.

Great service and good variety on the menu. They also have daily specials. The French onion soup and mushrooms soup were both excellent. The entrance is in the front, it looks like they are closed when you park in their lot which is on the side of the building. Great classy restaurant, we will be back. Will try and save room for dessert next time

I was very excited about going to Chateau West with my wife for Valentine’s Day this year, but we were very disappointed for a handful of reasons. While the atmosphere was great, and it was packed out showing that this restaurant has a great reputation, everything fell apart for our experience shortly after we ordered. For context, we were given a restricted menu for a 3 course meal priced at $85/person. This wasn’t a huge deal, but it was clear that this wasn’t advertised well as it was a surprise to us and every other table in our section of the restaurant who asked the same questions about ordering other items.
Our experience went downhill as our appetizers came out cold, but then our waitress disappeared for the next hour and we couldn’t even tell her about it. The tables on both sides of us were seated afterwards, and we both served their entrées AND desserts before we even got our entrées. After over an hour, our waitress appeared and apologized for the kitchen “losing our ticket” and says “they will cook your meals again right now.”
This seemed generous, until my lamb chops that had apparently just been cooked came out completely cold. So I sent them back and had to wait another 15 minutes to get the good that I ordered an hour and a half earlier, while the tables next to us were wrapping up to go home.
Then, it got worse as the dessert that my wife ordered ran out so she had to choose something else, which probably wouldn’t have happened if we got our orders in time.
Finally, the worst part was that the waitress handed off the check, didn’t apologize for the sub par experience, and didn’t comp one thing on our ticket. I was very disappointed.
I understand it was a holiday and a busy night, but the whole point of the restricted menu was to avoid these exact problems, but it couldn’t compensate for poor service.

I went here while visiting Nashville with family, the fondue is definitely worth the visit! There aren’t a lot of nonalcoholic drink options, which is to be expected for a French place, the salad was very good and the chicken soup of the day as well. It’s a great little spot for dinner. Even though it’s not the highest quality French food I’ve ever had, It was very tasty and I would definitely recommend!

This is one of my favorite places to have lunch. It’s so Airy and quiet and the service is top-notch. It feels so fancy but reasonably priced. The food is impeccable. Love bringing a friend here to catch up!

Had a really nice meal here with my wife. Beef Bourguignon and Blackberry Salmon, both very tasty. Dessert choices were very good. Our service was perfect. We’d definitely eat here again. Easy parking on-site. Just outside of downtown, easy to get to.

I didn’t really want to go here but my wife wants to try it. So, we went.
The food was excellent. Portions were on the smaller side but after fondue and bread, it was perfect. The beef and filet and potatoes were really good.
The service was outstanding too. I don’t understand why I see a handful of 1 star reviews. Good, service and environment were all great.
I think the best part overall was the dessert. Profiteroles, the trio, bananas foster were all so good.
We will definitely be back.

I’ve always loved French cuisine, so visiting Chateau West has been on my list for some time. My husband, his mom, and I finally went for Christmas lunch, and it did not disappoint.
First, parking was a breeze with a lot conveniently located next to the restaurant. The service was excellent—our waiter was knowledgeable, polite, and attentive throughout the meal.
Appetizers:
• Seared Foie Gras: Delicious, especially when paired with the dried fruit in each bite.
• Escargot: A classic, well-prepared dish—perfect if you’re a fan of escargot.
• Smoked Salmon: Good and well-executed.
Entrees:
• Duck Breast with French Beans and Potatoes: Perfectly cooked and flavorful.
• Blackberry Salmon with Vegetable Risotto
• Filet Oscar
Desserts:
We shared the dessert trio, which included:
• Pear Belle Helene: Light and refreshing.
• Chocolate Moulleux: Rich and indulgent.
• Vanilla Crème Brûlée: Classic and perfectly creamy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience from the appetizers to the desserts. Chateau West lived up to the hype, and I’m already looking forward to returning. Highly recommend!

If I lived closer to this establishment, I would probably be there every week. Everything that we had was delicious and seasoned extremely well (I hardly used any salt, which is quite unusual for me). French onion soup, smoked salmon, shrimp saffron appetizer and tomato bisque were all incredible, as were the beouf bourginon and grouper special. Creme brulee was one of the best I’ve ever had, besides my own, of course, which I’ve been told by many, is the best they’ve ever had. Definitely recommend this restaurant, as the chefs are excellent and service is very professional.

I was impressed by the upscale ambiance and overall vibe of the place. The decor is stylish and inviting, making it a great spot for a special occasion or a nice night out.
I ordered the steak tartare for starters, and while the flavors were on point and the dish was beautifully presented, I was unfortunately surprised to find a bug in the lettuce. It was a bit off-putting, and I expected more attention to detail given the restaurant’s upscale nature.
Despite this hiccup, the rest of the meal was enjoyable, and the service was attentive and friendly. I would consider giving it another try, as everything else was quite good. Just a suggestion: perhaps a little more diligence in the kitchen could elevate the experience even further.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. I recently visited this restaurant on Valentine’s Day and received some of the worst service I’ve ever seen. We were sat in the back room where it was so quiet, no music, you couldn’t talk without the whole room hearing you. Our waiter did not greet us for 20 minutes, he never checked in on our food or asked if we needed anything, we received bread 45 minutes later after having to ask for it. We did not order drinks, just water that was already on the table, and it took a whole hour to receive a refill. I couldn’t even ask for water because he would just drop the food and run off. Our waiter actually came to deliver our food, both water cups empty, and nothing. 30 minutes later we got more water. We were ignored the entire time and then charged 20% tip automatically for a 2 person table? No, this was not listed on the menu, no we were not informed about the automatic tip beforehand, just added to the bill. When I made the reservation, there was no “special valentine’s” dinner menu, so we assumed it would be the regular menu. Nope, we arrived to a $85 per person pre selected menu (which is normal for large holidays) but it was not marketed anywhere and we went there for a specific appetizer so that was a little disappointing but not the end of the world. If you’re looking to spend $85 per person on dinner, do not go here. The shrimp entree was ice cold but was supposed to be warm and even served in a hot dish, the salad came with burnt croutons, only 2 croutons to be exact. Both steaks were cooked wrong, but the server was nowhere to be found and it already took an hour to get the food. The table next to us actually got up to find the server numerous times and ended up storming out, I regret not leaving myself. All in all, I’ve never had such terrible service, I don’t usually complain or write reviews but this restaurant needed one. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere.
