The Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill offers a mix of experiences. With stunning views of Lake Merritt and a waterfront deck, the restaurant provides a beautiful backdrop for a meal. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is nice, making it a good spot for drinks or special occasions. The food is hot, fresh, and well-seasoned, creating a delightful dining experience. The lavender lemondrop drink is highly recommended, a delicious choice for a refreshing beverage.
Recent reviews highlight that the location is great, right on Lake Merritt in the historic Lake Merritt Rowing Club building, with a deck that extends out into the lake. Many visitors enjoy the outdoor seating area, which feels like being on the water. The restaurant has been praised for its tasty food, including the Lake Chalet Louie Salad and Salmon BLTA, and for its full bar. It is also a favorite spot for family celebrations, especially with kids, due to the great atmosphere and views.
While some dishes like the salmon croquettes and Local Petrale Sole Piccata fell short in flavor and quality, other items have received praise. The cheeseburger with French fries is noted for being juicy and flavorful, with crispy fries that delight. Mussels & Frites are described as a good portion with plump mussels and perfectly salted fries. The Grand Seafood Linguini Provençal impresses with plenty of seafood, though it was noted to be quite tart.
Desserts like the Guava Creme Brûlée are highly praised, with a crispy top and tropical flavors that make it light and refreshing. Service can be slow, with some waiting nearly 45 minutes for food, but staff are responsive and willing to solve issues. A 4% Lake Chalet Surcharge is added to the bill. Overall, many visitors want to revisit due to the fantastic views and enjoyable atmosphere, though some mention restroom issues.
