I know this place is a total fixture and has been here forever and ever. I guess it's sort of like Vinny Testa's (now Vinny T's), where people are impressed by moderate prices and big portions (Chateau doesn't overkill the garlic like Vinny does). I know this place is wildly popular on Sundays after church, and I suppose it makes sense becaues the place is huge and there are lots of long tables which makes it ideal for a large group. They are certainly used to big groups and are very accomodating to them, so that's a plus. All of that said, the food is just average. It's sort of your typical spaghetti with red sauce type of place -- nothing fancy or creative. Definitely friendly staff and a friendly atmosphere. School Street is one way on many blocks, so driving can be a bit of a pain.
