From the Central Valley and dinner plans in the City fell through and I wanted Clam Chowder. Looked on Yelp and this place had good reviews. Headed there around 7pm knowing they closed at 9, according to Google. Get there and parking was surprisingly easy. Didn’t have reservation so 45 minute wait. Longer than I wanted but just came from the City so I’ll wait. Seated and it’s now after 8. Beautiful view on water. That view was the best thing about the place. Our server had only us out there on water and seemed to forget. We ordered 2 bowls of clam chowder, loaf of bread, and fish and chips to share. About 10 minutes later our server said the kitchen was out of chowder. Literally the only thing I wanted but I do realize it was late so we asked for a few minutes to peruse the menu. My teen didn’t see anything else she wanted so she settled on her own fish & chips. The server took a very long time to head back and we told her “just another fish & chips.” Our bread finally comes. It’s grilled AND cold. Hmm…weird. Then, after another long wait, one plate of fish & chips arrives. We said we ordered 2. The guy says he will let the server know. After another long wait our server comes over and says she misunderstood and will tell kitchen to rush another plate. My teen eats the first plate and I get mine about 15 minutes later with an apology. Check comes for $60. I thought maybe they’d comp something or discount but no. I left unimpressed. Especially after I visited the disgusting restroom on my way out. Go for the view, if you must, but nothing special otherwise.

A great dog friendly spot to have lunch after a walk around Lake Merritt. Relaxed atmosphere, views from pier, shade with umbrellas and a water dish for the dog. Not too crowded during the week. Crab cakes were tasty, but rather small. Seared Ahi salad was also delicious. Extensive beer and cocktail menu.

This was such a welcome and pleasant surprise. We could not go to Fishermans Wharf due to an accident so we looked for a good clam chowder place and found this restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere, outdoor dining on the dock was fantastic. Superb clam chowder and our waiter Victor was so kind and attentive. Would love to come back again. The prickly pear sangria was super tasty also.

At the Lake Chalet Restaurant with my old pal Fathead Marlow we were at his favorite jazz joint listening to one of the best horns in the country until about 2am last night and nothing goes better to fix a hangover than a bigass fried chicken sandwich, that’s for sure.

Love Lake Chalet! Came here for lunch and the champagne was wonderful. The atmosphere was amazing along with the music choice. We sat outside on the dock which was phenomenal. Food was amazing! Could have had more crab cakes for the price but aside from that, everything was great!

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 was delicious! The strawberry guava lemonade (not pictured) was a refreshing sweet and tart flavor. We enjoyed the Crab Melt Sandwich and Seafood Linguine (not pictured). Highly recommend this restaurant. It’s perfect for a date or outing with family and friends!
