Reviews for The Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill in Oakland, CA

Went here for taco Tuesday. We were a big group and didn't have issues getting some outdoor seating. The food and drinks were... great and the weather was perfect for sitting outdoors. They were able to set up some tables together for us. I tried theshrimp tostadas, chicken, fish, and carne tacos, deviled eggs, calamari, and some oysters. The food was very good. Read more

What an iconic restaurant and as beautiful as ever right on the lake! Excellent food, location and service. Love the delish... vegan option as well as some vegan sides!!! The outdoor spaces are expansive and being out on the water is fun and peaceful atthe same time Read more

Good food with a great view. Came here for brunch: the food was good(wish they had more options for breakfast) portion sizes are... ok & the drinks are good. Our server was super nice. Looks like they are pet friendly cos I saw quite a few dogs. Best part isthe View. Check it out Read more

Wonderful location but poor service and so-so pricey food. Don't get the crab melt which is half a sandwich for $29. The lobster... roll was much better for the same price. The clam chowder was the best of the three. No check-ins on food or refill ofbeverage. Another waiter dropped a white sauce that spattered our legs and clothes. All we got for that was a sorry although hedid clean it up in the boardwalk floor. I emailed Dustin per his request but no response so far. Read more

Beautiful restaurant on Lake Merritt! I’m so glad we stopped by to have lunch here. We luckily got seated outside by the... lake in a booth. It was comfortable and the fresh air felt nice. Staff members provided exceptional service and the food wasdelicious! The strawberry guava lemonade (not pictured) was a refreshing sweet and tart flavor. We enjoyed the Crab MeltSandwich and Seafood Linguine (not pictured). Highly recommend this restaurant. It’s perfect for a date or outing withfamily and friends! Read more

Good atmosphere by Lake Merritt. We got lucky to be there at 4.30 pm Sunday and there were a couple parking spot in the front... (probably the only two spots left ????). The service and food were awesome!! Drinks a little pricy but ok. We got crèmebrûlée for dessert. It was too sweet for us. It’s still a good experience overall! Read more

Service was hit and miss. We got seated right away but took a while to get anyone to take our order. Once they did, food came... out pretty quick but looks like we came in right before happy hour so maybe they had more folks just start. Food was okay. Nothing extraordinary but nothing bad either. The seafood deviled eggs were basically smoked salmon deviled eggs, which wasfine for us but may be a bit deceiving for others. Brussel sprouts were good with mint adding a unique twist. Fish and chipswere about average and risotto was bland. Read more

We were a group of 7 that came in at various times and the waiter did his best to keep our orders coming in as fast and close as... possible (it was also a VERY busy Saturday!) The alcoholic drinks were fantastic and the portions of meals were good size.However, the tables for larger groups are all quite close and it was very loud and difficult to hold conversations. But everyonehad a great time! Read more
