The Chateau Waltham

The food: it's fine. Nothing special. Fairly large portions for the price. Pretty quick turnaround from time of order. The service: friendly, prompt. The ambiance: it's old. Smells vaguely of mildew. Lottery vending machine in the foyer. Dark. The clientele: old. Old like the building. Old like talking at the dining table on speakerphone at full volume. Old like choking on their food at the table. Old like loudly discussing their medical issues in the opening dining room. This wasn't one family or an aberration. It was the norm at 4 other tables around us.

All I asked for was a cup of clam chowder, was delivered Italian wedding soup. That shouldnt be that hard

Good Italian food and many other things. Our Lobster rolls were cold Lobster salad with plenty of Lobster meat, but not noteworthy. Pizza is excellent but not as good as Regina or Polcari's.Lunch once again. Lots of lunch specials. Scallops looked very good. Chicken Supreme was good, but not as good as the now closed Cottage Crest. Chicken marsala was very good.

Waitress tried to overcharge us by adding not one but two items to the check and then when asked about it, did a terrible job acting—everyone in the table knew what was going on. The food is subpar at best, don’t come here expecting even Olive Garden food, lol.

Being a Jersey girl, pizza was OK. It was the evening of the Marathon so the restaurant was empty we had take-out
