I recently visited this restaurant and had a great overall experience — especially if you love fresh seafood and good drinks. From the moment we sat down, it was clear that this place takes pride in its quality ingredients and relaxed atmosphere. The fries were surprisingly tasty, perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside — a simple dish, but done very well.
One of the real highlights for me was the wide selection of beers. They offer many different options, and every one we tried was enjoyable. It’s always nice to find a spot that pairs good food with a well-curated drink list, and this place certainly delivers on the beverage side. The drinks complement the food perfectly and add to the overall dining experience.
When it comes to the seafood, everything felt very fresh and flavorful. The fried squid was especially delicious — tender, perfectly seasoned, and not greasy at all. That dish alone was worth the visit. The fish dishes also stood out for their freshness and quality, showing that the kitchen really knows how to handle seafood with care.
The ambience is pleasant and relaxed, making it a great place to sit back and enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner with friends or a place to unwind after a long day, this spot hits the mark.
Service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. While some places might skimp on drink variety or quality ingredients, this restaurant clearly does not. I would absolutely recommend it — especially if you’re in the mood for great fries, fresh seafood, and a cold beer in a welcoming setting!

We had reservations at another restaurant on Valentine’s Day and everything went sideways there for reasons I won’t get into; so we had to rally quickly, and I called Beach Chalet directly and although they were booked, and near to closing time- they were very happy to accept us last minute.
The minute we arrived we knew Chalet saved our night. We were seated promptly and live music was playing.
We ate the Valentines set Menu & EVERYTHING was delicious. A shout out to our wonderful server Angie who took excellent care of us.
Thank you!

We came here for a lovely dinner as a couple and had a wonderful experience.
We were seated right away at a table with a beautiful ocean view .
The staff was very kind and attentive, and the service was fast and friendly.
Our waiter spent extra time helping my wife find the perfect wine — after four tastings, we chose a Napa one she loved .
The food was delicious — especially the clam chowder, mussels, and crab eggs.
Highly recommend for a cozy, relaxing evening with great food and service!

I was very disappointed by my visit here. The facilities and the restaurant were very nice, and the views are spectacular. Don’t even think of getting a window seat, unless you make a reservation. That was made known crystal clear upon seating.
The service , and the prices were not worthy of the beauty and history of the building. The bottom floor is not the restaurant but I have included many photographs and videos of that area.
A small glass of Coke cost $6.00 and that is without any refills. $12.00 for less than twelve ounces (total) of Coca Cola is pure greed.
The service I received was nothing special either. Not once was any of our beverages asked to be refilled. The waitress passed by our table numerous times and not once asked if we would like a drink refill. When we finished our main course we had to ask if they had a dessert menu, or coffee as the waitress went straight to asking if we needed a box and wanted our check.
Also, I had the fish and chips and I was highly disappointed by receiving three small pieces of fish. I have had fish and chips many times and was stunned by how small the serving was, in comparison. The cole slaw was pretty good. The sour dough bread was so mild I had to ask if it really was sour dough.
Overall, the cost was about $80.00 and totally not worth it. You can get the same view at The Taco Bell Cantina on the beach. I won’t bcome back as it was not worth the cost…

Delicious upscale restaurant with several dining rooms to choose from. Views of the coast or park are available. Enjoy the gorgeous murals on the lower level before going upstairs to the restaurant.
Service was quite nice. I enjoyed the lobster roll which came with slaw. I also ordered a salad which was a bit repetitive so I’d make another choice next time.
Overall, very enjoyable, would visit again!

Nice spot to refuel after a park stroll with a view. Service was amazing — super attentive, fully in their hospitality. Food delivered exactly what you’d expect. Low-key, good vibes.

We started with mussels. They were large and meaty. The sauce was not great but good. We also got a side of sourdough bread which would fall into the same category. I had a Niçoise salad. The tuna was a little tough but had a good flavor and I’d say was very good. The green beans were raw, the potatoes were starchy, and the salad wasn’t dressed. I would put the overall salad as the worst nicoise I’ve ever had. It took a while to wave down the waiter who tried to wave off the problem by bringing me two sides of dressing. Would not recommend.

Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant offers the perfect combination of great food and stunning ocean views. We enjoyed a half dozen oysters to start, and they were fresh and delicious—the perfect way to kick off our meal. The grilled Branzino was a standout, cooked to perfection with a buttery, delicate flavor that melted in each bite.
We also shared a side of savory mushrooms, a shrimp and crab cake that was absolutely killer, and some local beers that were the ideal refreshment alongside the meal. The crab bisque was rich and flavorful, and the crab carbonara turned out to be a hidden gem—creamy, packed with crab, and incredibly satisfying.
With breathtaking views of the ocean and a fantastic lineup of dishes, Beach Chalet is a must-visit when in San Francisco. Can’t wait to go back!

My wife and I hosted our wedding dinner reception at Beach Chalet, reserving one of their private rooms called The Cove for 35 guests. This restaurant holds special meaning for us—it’s where we had our first dinner date—so it was the perfect spot to celebrate.
The event coordinator, Kirsten, was incredibly attentive and helped us plan every detail, from the table setup to a custom-curated menu.
The food was outstanding, and the oceanfront views—especially at sunset—were simply unbeatable.
The staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. They allowed us to bring our own speaker for music and dancing, and the service throughout the night was thoughtful and seamless.
Carlos, the manager, was especially friendly and accommodating. He made sure everything is well organized and runs smoothly. He even took complimentary photos of us and our guests with his DSLR and shared them afterward.
We had a wonderful time and wholeheartedly recommend this place for private events.

God I would love to give 5 stars, everything was incredible! The food was obviously a little overpriced but still very delicious. Amazing sourdough bread, I had the crab melt which was beautiful and the view and seating was also top tier! BUT for a Brewery … the beers don’t taste good at all, we tried 3 different ones. Part was probably that the carbonation was too little. Overall great experience, next time wine
