The exceptional part of Chateaulin was the wait staff. Unfortantly, the resturant was understaffed. The staff simply was over worked. This led to forget orders and less attention than you would expect from fine establishment. The food simply was uninspired and poorly prepared. The base ingredients were not the quality I expected and portions skimpy. The fresh oysters were poorly... more

Chateaulin is always good. Excellent food and wine. You just always love this place. more

We were very much looking forward for our pre-theatre dinner at the Chateaulin on Thurs, Sept 25, 2008. We arrived at 5:30pm. We were ushered to a half booth that was very uncomfortable with crowded seating and a small table. Our request for a table essentially ignored. Service started fine but deteriorated after the soup course. By the time our... more

A lovely, elegant restaurant with good service. more

It's jammed during the Shakespeare festival so hightail it up to Ashland before it's too late. Some posts here talk about an additional 15% charge. We didn't have one. 18%... more

I just had one of the best dinner services that I have ever had at any meal anywhere & the food was terrific. Keep in mind that I have always travelled with family members with dietary constraints, so attention to the littlest detail regarding ingredients in a dish was greatly appreciated throughout the evening. Fish is done to perfection, wine... more

First off, I think it is fair to say that the food is good. Also the atmosphere is very intimate, which is nice. Our only complaint is that both the servers and the customers were a little too snobby for our taste. Some people are into that, just not us. If you enjoy this type of atmosphere, though, have a... more

We have dined here twice and each time was wonderful. The food is excellent, service very professional and I love the concept of including two glasses of wines with your dinner. (I hope they don't ever change this!) I would love to see more restaurants adopt this concept. The pork tenderloin was excellent as were the salads and desserts that... more
