The Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill

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..

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

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience at Lake Chalet! This was our first time visiting Lake Chalet Seafood & Grill, and everything about the experience was top-tier! The atmosphere is unmatched—with breathtaking views right on the lake, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, snap a few photos, and soak in the beauty of Oakland. We came for the vibes and stayed for the drinks, which were absolutely incredible. Our bartender Christian truly had the magic touch—each cocktail was crafted to perfection with flavor, balance, and presentation. (If you’re into craft cocktails, this is the place to be!) I brought my boyfriend here for his first visit, and he was blown away. We even had a spontaneous little photo shoot on the patio—it’s that gorgeous. Looking forward to coming back soon for the full food experience, but based on what we’ve seen so far, this place is a must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

We came here for lunch to celebrate our arrival in the neighborhood, what a nice way to start something! We really enjoyed the lunch in the sun, the delicious dishes, very tasty and we were able to pair well with the chosen wines. There were happy hours and we didn't like the martini very much, but the atmosphere made everything nice. The waitress is very attentive.

Food is very good overall. Very nice part of Oakland, nice setting by the water,, inside or outside dining. Had to ask a couple of times for drink refills and other. Overall, a good place to dine in Oakland.
