    lamb chops
    Gary Y.

    This is a solid 4 star location - the ambiance and decor is great but the food could be better considering the price. Some of them are good but others are just okay - the exception was the truffle fries - those were fantastic, consider ordering a batch for the table. It's pretty popular on weekends so reservations are recommended ahead of time.

    Date of Visit: 5/16/2026 After our annual May tradition of cherry picking trip at Brentwood, we visited the Parisian restaurant located in downtown Walnut Creek. Château was newly established back in 2024 Summer, with a classic dining room with bar and also outdoor dining and lounging area. We were sat outside at the very end with a huge sofa space with fire place coffee table. This area can fit 7 adults and we were a party of 3 (with 2 adults and 1 baby). La Vie En Rose $19 I ordered the rose cocktail made with tequila, lychee, hibiscus, vanilla liqueur, and honey. On top it was decorated with dried roses. The floral and fruity smell of the drink was amazing. G & T $18 Husband ordered the Gin Tonic made with Beefeater gin, shiso leaf, blood orange wedge, basil blossom, and citric acid. It paired great with the mussels and lamb chops. Moules $30 For our main courses, we got the mussels with fries. The sauce was made with hickory smoked bacon, garlic confit, shallots, beurre blanc. Lamb Chops $45 And another main course we ordered the medium rare lamb chops. Four pieces of the lamb chops was placed on top of the Mediterranean yogurt and some honey-roasted carrots, and was topped with chimichurri. Highly recommended.

    Cute French inspired restaurant in downtown WC. Solid 3 stars for the brunch experience. Our server was charming and was very accommodating overall. Food aesthetics were notable but had better expectations for the taste. I had higher hopes for my lobster Benedict with an "upgraded" kale Caesar salad side (which they forgot the Caesar dressing and croutons), the above average truffle fries and aioli, and the petite gateau (chocolate lava cake with vanilla gelato) that we unfortunately found something hair-like in it toward the end. Ambiance, vibes were cool but the food didn't wow me as much as I expected. The dinner options look more promising so I'd give it another chance.

    Burger and fries

    Château is fun, cute and really a vibe. I'm French and I thought the menu was legit. The drinks were super tasty and it's really a beautiful space. It was my first Mother's Day and so my husband took me here to celebrate. There were lots of couples there are the staff were super kind. I would definitely say this is a great spot for a date night and I highly recommend sitting outside. The food was solid. The bread and butter was divine. I didn't feel like the food was super duper unique or breathtaking but it was good. My husband got their burger and he liked it a lot. I got their lamb and I really liked it but some pieces were a bit grisly. I would go back and get more drinks and maybe some appetizers or look at reviews first and see what they are better know for. The vibes though were top tier.

    Eggs Breakfast
    Jessica J.

    We came here for what they sold as a R&B Brunch but it was really just brunch with some loud R&B music. The ones I've seen on social media are more like a party atmosphere with a DJ. This had no DJ no Interactive experience at all, still wondering what I paid an extra $15 per person for when I booked the reservation. The drinks were good cute, boogie and photographic but WOW the pricing was obnoxious almost $20 for all the speciality cocktails they need to be more I the $14-15 range for what they are. Now the food my lobster Benedict was DELICIOUS I would come back just for that even with the $32 price tag, but the potato "cake" was gummy and greasy I should have gone fruit or salad. My friend had the Standard egg breakfast which was just OK the eggs and homemade sausage was really good but the bacon was undercooked and again the potato "cake" wasn't good the potatoes looked grey like they were grated to early for the meal. The service was nice nothing great to talk about but no one was rude or anything. I guess I was just expecting WAY more than we got especially for the pricing of food and admission. Much better places to go in Walnut Creek if you're just looking for a good brunch.

    It's a Vibe!

    As 1st timers Starting with the amazing Hostess who was so kind and made us feel welcomed to the Caviar deviled eggs, the delicious pasta and Halibut. The only thing I would say is the Halibut needs a companion like a side of something maybe risotto or a mashed sweet potato. The ambiance was great and the old movie playing on the wall was a nice touch. My daughter enjoyed her 23rd Bday dinner!

    Lunch w/The Beauty (more bday shenanigans) Chill atmosphere, excellent service! Marseille 5outta5 Think a tropical cocktail with a sophisticated juicy start & slightly bitter/citrusy finish. Sparkling wine was light & refreshing. Brussels 4outta5 It's a large serving, even for two but excellent flavors Deviled eggs w/caviar 4outta5 pretty good flavor! Charcuterie board 4outta5 nice combo Caviar bumps 3.5outta5 good flavor but the pearls weren't firm & had no pop Smash burger 4outta5 Cooked perfectly, nice flavor, really enjoyed it along w/truffle fries. I could've used a touch more truffle oil. It's great spot for lunch or dinner, for couples or a small group. #GoTaste&See

    Chicken sandwich
    Stephanie Z.

    I had such a great experience here! I ordered the chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got the Sunday's burger, and both were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted very fresh and high quality, and you can really tell they put care into their food. I also tried the Garden Spritz, and it was amazing--perfectly refreshing and well balanced. The atmosphere inside is beautiful, very clean, elegant, and has a classy vibe that makes it perfect for a date night or special outing. The customer service was excellent as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. Overall, I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

    The ambiance is really cozy and inviting. I liked their setup, and the mini bar was a fun addition. The food was okay nothing outstanding, but it paired well with drinks and the social vibe. However, the biggest downside was the strict 2-hour limit per guest. Even though we ordered a lot of food and drinks, we were asked to leave before we were finished. It felt frustrating because we were still enjoying our time, but the staff insisted on clearing the space for the next guests. Overall, the vibe and setup are great, but the time restrictions were disappointing.

    kale caesar with steak & truffle fries
    Molly B.

    100/10!!!!! Came here last night for the first time and had the most amazing experience. Every single member of the staff was so friendly and amazing, shoutout to the host I'm so sorry I didn't grab your name, and ALEENA our server!! She took such amazing care of us and truly made the night so so special. The space is also just so visually stunning and elegant, it's the perfect GNO or date night spot. The food was also all so delicious, I highly recommend the spicy rigatoni !! Thank you so much to everyone working 5/3 for the best service and experience !!

    The Old Mez, truffle fries, Matcha Bliss mocktail
    Mimi K.

    We made last-minute reservations at Chateau and overall had a great experience with a disappointing ending. From the moment we walked in, the hostess was warm and welcoming, and our server was exceptional throughout the night. The cocktails were also a standout -- the Old Mez, The Vintage, and even my Matcha Bliss mocktail were all . We started with the Brussels sprouts, mussels, and truffle fries. The appetizer portions were generous and satisfying. The mussels were cooked perfectly with a flavorful sauce that had us finishing every bite. The truffle fries were hot and crispy, served with ketchup and aioli. The Brussels sprouts had the perfect crisp in every layer, while the onion, apple, and bacon balanced the dish really well. Unfortunately, the lamb chops completely changed the experience. When the plate arrived, both my husband and I immediately noticed how small the portion was for a $45 entrée -- just a few lamb chops and four small carrots. Compared to the appetizers, it honestly felt more like an appetizer than a main course. I ordered mine medium rare, but my pieces came out rare and chewy with quite a bit of fat, leaving one bite of meat per piece. My husband's pieces were cooked more accurately, but his cuts were a little thicker than mine. For the price point, the dish simply didn't feel worth it or satisfying enough to be considered a true entrée. For two people, including tip, the bill was over $200. We would return, but next time we'd stick to cocktails and appetizers, because that's definitely where Chateau shines.

    Outdoors seating and side entrance
    Sandra V.

    The place is nicely decorated and cute. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I met my best friend here. She made a reservation on open table. The reservations are timed. The smaller the group the less time. For this I gave it a four. We were told the next reservation was there and we felt a bit rushed. It was busy. Perhaps during the week may be better? Staff were great. Our waitress came often, she did great. Staff cleaned the tables often as well. We ordered a wine bottle and truffle fries to start. The truffle fries were full of flavor. Followed by their burger and salmon. All the food was amazing and delicious. The portions were fair too. We were ordering cheesecake with our waitress when the hostess intervened politely and said they were sold out. We did not get dessert.

    Adrienne H.

    Made reservations for a friday outdoors but it ended up raining they accommodated us pretty quickly. The ambiance is dim and moody great for a date night. We sat at the window. I love that they have movies projected Alyssa was our amazing waitress and she was very knowledgeable. I love that they offer mocktails. The mocktail was so good. I had the spicy rigatoni which was good. Now the salmon it was so bland. I wouldnt recommend. For dessert we celebrated my late birthday with a cheesecake I love that they brought out the sparklers. They had another reservation after and recommended we go upstairs to the lounge they offered comp champagne which was nice.

    Is a reservation required for either inside or patio for 2?

    No resie required, but it's a good idea, since they do get busy.

    How is the parking?

    Its not bad! Theres street parking (just make sure you put ample time on there) and a couple garages in the area. I usually just do the garage to save time searching for a spot.

    Do they have happy hour?

    Hello Tanisha! We do not have happy hour at this time but we have some great options for small bites. We hope to see you soon!

    Also would like to know if it's kid/ teen friendly?

    It's more appropriate for adults - intimate spot with a great date night vibe.

    Does this place require reservations?

    Reservations are not required yet. But for a large group I would recommend it.

I really liked my lobster bucatini. The coconut ceviche was very fresh, not too sour and tart. My friend got the filet mignon skewers, and those were okay. We both got a drink as well. Service was friendly enough. The only thing that's rubbing me the wrong way is what we were charged on our bill. I am 100% sure I rounded my bill to $XX.00 because that's what I like to do, but when I saw the charge it was different. I am also sure I did not pay the exact amount as my friend (confirmed because she did the exact 18% rec), so to find out we both got charged the same amount.....very sus. I of course already threw away the receipt, but recalculating our meal...We definitely did not spend $100.67 each...So just be aware when you check your statement!! SKETCH!!!

I would also say that the price points weren't too bad at all- the food and the prices were pretty aligned. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and decor, however I wasn't a fan of how they played nightclub/dancing music- which made it all that much louder and difficult to talk. I will also say that the service was very good- considering that it was very crowded at the time, however I had an odd experience with a hostess. I made a reservation in advance to celebrate my mom's birthday- when my family arrived, we were quite literally ignored by the hostess for about 10 minutes. She looked at us, and said "I will be right with you", only to come back 7 more times and ignore us again. She then made us wait 20 minutes into our reservation because another table wasn't finished with their meal. I initially didn't think anything of it (after all, it was a busy night)- until another group of white women who had made a reservation were immediately attended to by this hostess, and were given a table at a significantly better lit area. My indian family was made to sit at the corner of the restaurant, by the bathrooms. However I want to keep in mind that maybe it was a bad day, and the rest of the staff were very polite to us.

Fantastic drink. My friend tasted mine and ordered the same. The selection is the draw here. Whiskey lines the entire back wall, the rarer bottles sit behind wire-mesh locked cabinets, and there is a deep bench of tequila, beer on tap, and wine to round things out. One look at the shelves tells you they have the base for any drink you want. We split the Margherita flatbread, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and blistered cherry tomatoes, and it hit the spot as a drinking snack. The menu goes deeper than expected for a bar, with sliders, naan tacos, and charcuterie if you show up hungry. Service was good considering the staff-to-crowd ratio.
