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..

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
