The rustic French country dining room is suitable for Kings and Presidents whether they're still in power, recently deposed, or being tried in absentia. (Alas, not suitable for one who eats Big Macs every day). Everything is muted including the colors, the activity of the staff, and the diner's conversation. Everything is muted except the bright shining silver Duck Press tucked in an alcove ready to show you who's your Duck Daddy. Thankfully there was no Johnny Hallyday rock loop cranked up to concert volume to compete with. The Staff: To be frank they make you happy you're here dropping your Francs. A top professional well oiled serving machine. The kitchen helmed by Phillipp Chevier and Damien Coche were inspired. The Vibe: Who goes there? The Fortune 500 but after I dined there make that the Fortune 499. Even Bill Gates would have been wait listed if the place was full and it always is. The Food: Haute cuisine without being haughty. Over the top and off the chart. Yes, there are ala carte options but have the tasting menu or do what I did. Dive into the Chef's Surprise. Live on the edge of the ledge with Somm paired wines. (I had six different wines during dinner which comes with a required small bilge pump afterwards.) The Amuse-Bouche included a Carrot Puree Tart, Potato Coin topped with Smoked Salmon, a Celeriac Croquet with Curried Mustard, and a micro mound of baby Vegetables with Lemon. Thus, the meal headed down the first speed ramp of a culinary Bobsled Run. A tiny filet of Mackerel in a Beetroot and Blackberry Coulis will change the way you feel about mackerel assuming that you feel anything at all about mackerel. For me, I now know why mackerel is holy. Soon, the Bread Fairy arrives with an Oregano Swirl, Corn Rolls, Mini-Baguettes, and Tomato-Mozzarella Bread served with Sel de Fleur and a local Olive Oil. These could easily defeat serious diners and I defy you to say Merci, non. Next, the Frog Leg Lollipops hopped out of the kitchen all settled in Tomato Sauce with Black Garlic. Now you will sleep better as the pond outside your room will be silent. I was full by this time, but wait...there's more. Duck Liver, Quince, Crispy and Creamy Apple with Jerez Vinegar. How many things in your life are both gorgeous an delicious? It came with a bright Viognier aged three years in the barrel where I have spent weekends. The Somm was not going to play it safe with Chef's Surprise Menu. The wines will make your glands tingle. (That's Salivary glands, in case you were wondering.) The Red Claw Crayfish from Lake Geneva (and I thought it only had tossed coins, tour boats and floating styrofoam cups) came with a Brunoise of Celery and Green Apple in a Cardamom Curry Emulsion. Homage to homard. It was petit and what a treat with just a lick-a Loosiana heat left behind. Line Caught Sea Bass, chopped Razor Clams in the shell with Crispy Basmati Rice was next. Lord, I'm ready as fish and heaven ain't gettin' any better than this. Can you guess what flew out of the kitchen after that? Yup, a Grey Partridge with shredded Cabbage, Parsley Root, Rutabaga, Salsify, Onion, Parsnip and Chestnut with a Pear poached in white wine (Riesling) and an Apple poached in Pinot Noir. No need to worry about the partridge in the pear tree this Christmas as that bad boy was on my plate. By this time I was ready to tank and thrown in the towel, slap the mat for mercy, tap out and beg the Ref to call it. But then they rolled out the Cheese Trolley carrying between 40 and 50 varieties to select. When the going gets tough, the tough cut the cheese. Reblochon, Fermier, Langre washed with Champagne, (a fun idea for a fun date, no?), Mathais sur Feulles (goat to you), Brinda Amour (Corsican Sheep) with Ash Rot washed in local water. (The end of a not so fun date). All served with Pumpkin Seed Bread, Malt Bread, and a Ginger Bread so strong I will have Angle breath for a month. Dessert was out of the question, but then who's asking? Baby Finger Bananas, with Passionfruit Sauce, Speculoos Cookie Caramel Corn Crumble with Coconut Ice Cream. Reminds me of the islands? Nope, reminds me of one of the World's great spectacular dinners. Just as you're taking off your bib out comes a Cassis, Ginger, Chestnut Tart, a Passionfruit Tart with Vanilla Lime Sauce, Pear Jellies, Pure Swiss Chocolate Truffles, Chocolate Dipped Gooseberries and Raspberry Pralines. Had enough? How about the Mont Blanc of Chestnut Cream with Chestnut Ice Cream? Well, you get that too...it's the Chef's Surprise. Domaine de Chateauvieux is worth a quick re-do for me and now, you.

We were greeted with the upmost respect upon arrival and taken to the kitchen where our table was waiting. The staff was very friendly, helping us take photos and waiting patiently for us to finish our 9-10 course which last a little over 3 hours. Never once did they rush us to move on to the next course or made us feel like we had to leave after the whole restaurant closed. I've never done a Chefs Table dining experience before but Domaine lived up to its Michelin star name. The food itself was excellent. The mixture, the sauce, the creations were all so beautifully crafted and tasted just as good as they looked. I loved how each course was bought out on different equally beautiful chinaware. The type of food we had ranged from fish to beef, lobster, caviar, etc. During the dining experience I was surprised to see that the kitchen was not loud at all. My group had a wonderful time thanks to the chef and staff of Domaine de Châteauvieux.

On entry, the lobby is stunning and the welcome was warm, including a complimentary water and bottle to keep if you choose. The room is spotlessly cleaned and beautiful. Heated towel rack, Nespresso, marble tiling and wooden accents were some of the details that made me fall in love. The lobby bar is reasonably priced (this is from a New Yorker's perspective) but cocktails run 4 euros or more than the local bars in Annecy. The Old Pine Fashioned was a delicious spin on the Old Fashioned but made with rhum. The spa. Sparkling and kind staff. I booked a 30 min massage just for the experience and it was probably the best massage I've had to date and I've had a lot. The room itself is beautiful complete with stunning views and a shower included if needed. After, you're given a choice of tea, café or water to sip in a separate calming room on a day bed facing a mountain/lake view. The sauna. I did quite some research to ensure I found an accommodation where the wellness amenities are included with the stay. There was another competing hotel in the area that had similar amenities but added a 20 euro additional fee for each use. Included in the stay at Rivage is access to the gorgeous aquatic space including sauna, Hammam, pool, and jacuzzi and additionally their large fitness center. Weekdays are slower and attract more business-like clientele if you want to enjoy the amenities without a crowd. It's a 2 min walk from Lake D'Annecy and only 20 or so minutes by bus into Old Annecy. Absolutely adored my stay here and 1,000 % recommend and will return if I make another trip to Annecy.

The staff is incredibly attentive and accommodating, the rooms, while small, are comfortable and clean. The bathroom is relatively spacious and warm. I had the relief menu at Le Saint Nicolas downstairs the night I arrived. It was a special, memorable meal. The chef creates food that is inventive and beautifully presented and technically complex and also, somehow, comforting. The wine pairings from the sommelier are also excellent. This particular menu was an homage to the region - it celebrated the local produce and people. For example, the tea that is served as a palate cleanser is made of herbs harvested low in the mountains, a task traditionally carried out by old ladies in the region who cannot reach the herbs higher in the mountain that are used for génépi. It was earthy and layered and satisfying. I was pleasantly surprised, the next night, to find that the food at the bar upstairs, while more casual, is also outstanding. The chef's burger with Gruyère is the best burger I have ever had in my life. I cannot recommend au coin du feu enough. If you are thinking about staying there, do it. I have stayed in much more expensive hotels in Megève, and this one is my favorite. While the hotel does not have a jacuzzi or a pool, the service, food, and general environment (calm, cozy, and warm) is better than the larger, more expensive hotels.

Wonderful views of lake Geneva and the famous fountain and the location couldn't be better. I mentioned the service.. the concierges were always available and both accommodating and understanding. The bartenders and bell men remembered my name and my drink; in fact I believe everyone remembered my name and there is almost nothing quite as impressive as adherence to a team concept of serving your customers. The Ritz had it down. No they don't have a spa; but they accommodated us with in room massages that were excellent. If you're lucky enough to be there during the "dans la noir" dinner, it's well worth the time and was quite a dining adventure. (And another chance for the team at this hotel to flex their service abilities) During a night out in Geneva, when we couldn't find ice cream, yes we called our friends at the concierge desk who were happy to direct us: there wasn't a thing that the staff at his hotel wasn't available for!

The morning breakfast spread was plentiful and the baked tomato was delicious! Breakfast was not included and was an extra fee on top of the room. I believe it was around 20 Francs. If you use the stairs, you can see how each floor has different artwork but everything is ornate and flows together. And there is a computer for use and free printing, which we needed for last minute tickets. Overall, a interior decorating cornucopia in a geographically convenient location!
