The Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill

Service is slooooow, but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. The bar is awesome, and the patio is a must during summer. Cocktails are wonderful and food is good.

Beautiful outdoor sitting area when the day is nice and sunny. The place is awesome but happy hour feels like regular prices at another less fancy place . Overall great spot just be prepared to spend.

The ceviche and clam starters were delicious, oysters are great here, and the halibut entree was excellent. Love the lake view balcony in back, and the oyster stout is a plus here too.

If the weather permits and you're in the area, definitely grab grab a seat outside . Food is mediocre but the views add up to a wonderful time. Best for lunch dates, and smaller groups.

I had Lunch at this nicd place. There is a beautiful view . The food is good too. It was overall a pleasant experience.

Hard to imagine a better spot for a happy hour . The menu is standard modern fish shack. A huge place. The service gets really sluggish when they get busy.

Go here for the environment. Whether it's inside or on the dock. The food is pricey . The service and views of the lake make up for it.

Enjoy a cocktail and the clam chowder on a cold afternoon after a gentle walk around Lake Merritt

The place to be on the lake when weather is good. Especially for happy hour .

Great location to see the lake and what's around lake . Came for step-brothers rehearsal dinner , staff and service could not of been any better!

A perfect place to sit by the lake when the weather is nice. Get a cocktail and an appetizer . Perfect!

Raw bar , fried calamari , outside seating on the lake with heat lamps .

View , always. Great beer happy hour prices!!!!!!!!! Fireplace upstairs for the cold nights

Taco Tuesdays , dog friendly ... They bring out dog bowls and treats

Fun bar right on the water. Great for impressing dates or out of towners

Great happy hour specials , top notch views , and interesting cocktail list .

View , service, chicken wings and calamari was great

Great drinks and atmosphere. One of my go tos.

Hess Collection 19 Block by the glass, awesome. Rare to find that by the glass. Try it here for sure.

Sit out back, lake-side, and you might even see robots dancing in a gondola.

Taco Tuesday has only 4 tacos and you can't make any changes. Service it's not terrific!!!

Love the outside seating but the lake is not always emitting the best scents...

Happy Hour 3-6pm and 9pm til closing is awesome!

The view is the best part. Brussel sprouts and fried cauliflower are also great. The service was mediocre at best.

The Paloma is not good for taco Tuesdays but the margarita is delicious.

Smokin’ Cadillac is the best drink I’ve ever had

Great place for drink, love the ginger cosmo , but the food is bland

When the weather is nice get a lake side table. Beautiful view but the smells of Lake Merritt sometimes creep up.

The pump room has a cool bar that is not used on sunny days!

Food. Space. Views . Staff . Atmosphere #ReallyNice

Have a drink here, at the longest bar west of the Mississippi!

Bar seats are super high for no reason.. But good view and bar scene

Try the Cracked Whole Roasted Dungeness Crab - #crab #dungenesscrab

The clam chowder is thick and creamy-lotsa clams - interesting raw foods menu!

Hit happy hour 4-6pm or Monday prime rib night !

Fish n chips not bad, but the service and the drinks are great.

Great views place love the service....

Bananas foster french toast is so good.

There Crab cakes are the best!!!

Oysters & the Basil Ginger Martini while watching the sunset over the East Bay hills ... go for the romance baby!

Location and view

Its worth going to the back and eating out doors don't sit at the bar horrible service. Taco tues, but the tacos are pretty skimpy for 2.50

Get the French onion soup and stout . The tuna ceviche , deviled eggs , flat iron salad and Cobb salad with spicy chicken was mediocre

Awesome happy hour on the lake

salty and overcooked. nice view and place though, just come for drinks.

Omg taco Tuesdays on the water in the sun!? I'm dying. I'm dead.

No more weekend happy hour :( only weekdays 3-6 and 9-close

The Lake Chalet will be offering special vegan dishes throughout Oakland Veg Week, April 15-21, 2012.

Get a seat on the dock!

The bar has a great view of the water and the patio is Amazing!
