The sweetest host greeted me at the door and seated me at a table. She was very accommodating (took me to the bar but realized we can put 2 tables together to seat my party). Our server was good but there was something off that the whole table felt... The food was delicious - we tried all different things- smoked salmon, saffron shrimp, duck, beef, the seafood. Two things stick with me - the lobster bisque - did not care for it , not a piece of lobster in it, and the Tennessee version of ille flottant. Do not order those - everything else is a good pick!

Nice atmosphere. Small bar. French seating on left. 4 tops in the rest of the place. Nice, rounded menu and wine list, though limited "good" wines by the glass
Seared Foie Gras was excellent. Worth a return trip with a nice reduction and some greens to balance the fat.
Duck breast was a small, over cooked, portion over unevenly cooked potatoes and the presentation somewhat institutional with the string beans.
Trio of desserts was excellent, though the poached pears would be better served with creme Chantilly rather than ice cream. Glad I did not order the cheese platter that the guy next to

As always Chateau West was wonderful. The staff is excellent and the food, superb. It's rare now to find a restaurant with seasoned waitstaff and this one has just that. It adds an extra level of excellence to the meal. They understand french cuisine on a basic level and execute well. On a side note; every restaurant that offers it seems to want to put their spin on steak tartare. This one does not. It is prepared the traditional way and so very well.
