Visited Lake Chalet last night and was extremely disappointed. It started when I was served an Aperol Spritz that was made incorrectly, very unbalanced and flat-tasting. I sent it back and requested a lavender lemon drop instead, which was just okay. We ordered the Brussels sprouts next, which ended up being the highlight of the entire meal—they were very good. Unfortunately, things went downhill again when our mains arrived. Both the roasted garlic butter crab and the ribeye steak came out cold to the touch and severely under-seasoned. Overall, it was a terrible experience, and I’m extremely upset that I wasted my money here.
We went there for a lunch, party for 7, celebrating the wedding of my sister in law. The food was great and the atmosphere was great, but the most important part there was a issue and my mother in law was very disappointed, but they really make it happen, they were very good solving the issue and all the family was very happy. For me that kind of things matters more. 100% recommended
Only for the catering in our event. We opted for chicken and others had the salmon, beef. The chicken was a bit dry but still tasty. The shared veggies was a pleasant change to individual. The venue was nice overlooking Lake Merritt. Overall a great experience at the 100 person event. The appetizer was very good on skewered beef and veggie. Besides the catering area, the chalet had an excellent bar stool overlooking the lake. Friendly bar mates. As always, post wherever u end up. You never know who you will run into..
This is such a beautiful place! Right on lake Merritt in Oakland you can't beat this scenery! Friendly staff, great food and amazing drinks 😎 My bartender was Diego, and he was amazing. He needs a raise!
Great service and great atmosphere. That's why I gave 4 stars. Lovely seating everyone was nice . The food was pretty average. I enjoyed the appetizer the best calamari was fresh and fried just right. I order a dish without fish and the cook decided to replace it with another fish. Can't hurt him for trying however the fish would have nearly killed me 😆. The manager was ultra nice about it. Kevin was his name, great way to make up for the mix up . We left smiling and happy The hamburger that replaced the fish item was a good size and alot of toppings. I'd come back because everyone was so kind.
