    Amazing experience at Le Chateau! We made dinner reservations to celebrate our anniversary and were blown away at the atmosphere and quality of food. The wine was incredible, the craft cocktails in La Cave were fantastic, our appetizers (French onion soup and snails) were delicious, our mains (elk and duck) were perfectly portioned and cooked, and the desserts (lavender crème brûlée and a key lime tart) were literally the best we’ve had in our lives. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, cozy, and delicious fine dining experience.

    My husband and I decided to make reservations for a date night here. We weren't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a really fun adventure. Our server, Hunter, offered us a tour of all 3 floors while we waited for our food since we were asking so many questions. He told us about some quick facts about the historic building and let us take a look around. He was very hospitable and was nice enough to take his time to chat with us and deal with our jokes. The scallops were delicious. The entrees were pretty simple, but were tasty. We thought the food was a bit over salted, but we will go again in the future to see if it was a one-off. Overall, the atmosphere was very romantic, and it felt like we were able to time travel for a few hours and enjoy each other's company. I had the 'Saint Jacques et Risotto au champignon et truffle' as a small plate, and then for our "Bigger Plates," we chose the 'Steak Frites' and the 'Steak d'élan avec ses légumes' (elk). You need to go down to the 'cave' bar and check out the bathroom. I wanted to take a picture, but you can just see for yourself!

    We stopped in La Bar after dinner at another restaurant. We wanted to share the unique experience and atmosphere with our friends from out of town. It did not disappoint. The crafted smoked old fashions and other drinks were a hit.

    Upscale French dining experience. The owner has a delightful French accent. The dining areas are small so you are never in a loud environment. The food was great. I had the Elk. So good! We had a pretty view of the back yard complete with flowers pool and fountain. The wine list was great. Not the usual poor wines that spend more on advertising than what goes in the bottle. We arrived early and went down to Le Cave for cocktails. The spiral stairs were fun. The craft cocktails were spectacular. This is a good choice if you want an experience more unique than most.

    The atmosphere of La Chateau will speak to only certain people, as it has the feel of eating inside a very old home. The interior we will kept and the staff were very inviting. Our service was fast and attentive. But the food. Oh, the food is incredible!

    Great food and fantastic cocktails. The building and grounds are so beautiful - you'll feel transported away from the humdrum of life. The staff is excellent. I hope we can make this an annual visit (being from out of town).

    Chef Ben is BOMB! We went for an early dinner to take our time and so glad we did. The peacock room was gorgeous to gather and share bites of all the amazing food we ordered. After dessert it was Le Cave for a few more cocktails. Sit at the bar, watch the bartenders work their magic and enjoy the show. I'm making Le Chateau a regular on my schedule for sure. Go! You won't be disappointed!

    Beautiful, historic setting. Fresh flowers on the table. Candlelight dining. Food was delicious, eclectic, and fresh. A memorable date night we won't forget. We recommend the tower for a romantic night out.

    Lovely place. Our bartender was wonderful!! She knew her stuff & made a bomb pomegranate martini. Tried escargot for the first time & she was very informative about what to expect. Absolutely fabulous!!! Will be back.

    Amazing Sangria !!! The make they own from scratch , great bar . It’s a great place to visit and take pictures for the type exotic and historial structure of building . I love it :) Good bartenders ….

    Had a smoked old fashioned and the crème brulee in The Cave. The atmosphere was awesome and the bartenders were friendly and knew their stuff; true mixologists testing out new recipes while we were there. The crème brulee was pretty good, but not fantastic and my wife's sangria was okay. Giving 5 stars for the attention to detail and high quality ingelredients. Would have liked the opportunity to try more offerings.

    I went to happy hour at le cave and it was amazing! Our bartender made us custom drinks and was so friendly. The atmosphere is incredible in the lower bar. You feel like you went back in time to a French style speakeasy! I think what I love most is how casual OR fancy you can be in the downstairs bar. There are intimate spaces or room for a whole group. Highly recommend! Bring friends, significant others, and maybe even coworkers for a happy hour cocktail after work.

    One of my favorite hidden gems! We head to Le Cave for drinks pretty regularly and we are never disappointed. However, my husband and friends threw a surprise birthday party for me back in April of 2022. It was by far the best experience I ever had at a restaurant. The food was wonderful, the staff is so attentive. The Library was beautiful, we had such a great time and created a memory I will never forget. Thank you!

    This is a fantastic restaurant in a historic house in La Crosse, Wisconsin, serving French cuisine. The four of us had a wonderful meal with excellent service. You can also roam the house to view the beautiful craftsmanship.

    Excellent experience. I recommend making a reservation and coming before the reservation to enjoy drinks downstairs in the Cave. The Elk and Ribeye were excellent. The Cinderella drink was fantastic, too. The desserts are amazing, you have to try them!!!

    WOW! We actually had drinks at Le Cave in le cellar of Le Chateau and it was charming and magnificent! The vibe was so classic and chill like a scene from a movie! The barkeep was a gentleman and a scholar; a true professional with great mixology skills and knowledge of the history of the house. He made a scene that was already magical, that much better. Our drinks were perfectly executed and we enjoyed them so much we returned the next night to do it all over again! This time we ordered small plates and discovered that you haven't had French onion soup until you've had it made by a French Chef with a very old recipe; it was fantastic! We then ventured upstairs to discover the magnificent architecture and fantastical interior design elements. The house is worth a visit just to see it; both the exterior and the interior. We will be returning as soon as possible!

    Came on a quiet Tuesday and had the place to ourselves. Excellent service, food, atmosphere. Explored upstairs and found the impressive bar downstairs. Both our server and the bartanders were excellent.

    Warm, elegant dining at its best. Very relaxing, romantic atmosphere. Terrific food. My beef dish was prepared perfectly, flavorful, and tender. This is my new favorite restaurant.

    We ate in the bar separate from the dining room. Everything was really delicious. Cocktails and mocktails all rocked!
