What Colleen Hahn doesn't like about Lake Chalet Seafood Grill:
We went for Prime Rib night. The Prime Rib itself was delicious and their salad was really great. Everything else was just alright. The Yorkshire Pudding though, has anyone who likes Yorkshire Pudding in tears of sadness. It was the consistency of a hockey puck. Again, if you know anything about Yorkshire Pudding. It should be the opposite of that. All and all probably won’t be heading back anytime soon. View all feedback. What Kanya Latte likes about Lake Chalet Seafood Grill:
Good atmosphere by Lake Merritt. We got lucky to be there at 4.30 pm Sunday and there were a couple parking spot in the front (probably the only two spots left . The service and food were awesome!! Drinks a little pricy but ok. We got crème brûlée for dessert. It was too sweet for us. It’s still a good experience overall! View all feedback.

Enjoying a meal at this lakeside restaurant seems to be hit or miss, according to recent reviews. While some diners found the Prime Rib and salad to be delicious, others were disappointed by the portion sizes of the crab cakes and the soggy fish and chips. The service also received mixed feedback, with mentions of poor service and spilled food not being properly addressed. However, the ambiance and views were praised by many, making it a great spot for a sunny day or a special occasion. Overall, the food quality and service may vary, but the picturesque setting seems to make up for any shortcomings.
