Editorial Review for Beach Chalet – by Kim Cooper

In Short
Tourists pack this beachfront fry house and brewpub. Nearly every table has an ocean view, where guests can sip Ocean Beach Oktoberfest and nibble on buttermilk-fried calamari while watching the waves. The menu offers the usual traditional diner fare, such as burgers and wings, with some mildly exotic accents like marinated Atlantic salmon. Weekend brunch options include buttermilk pancakes, french toast and mushroom and spinach omelet.

Came on a whim for Mother's Day w/o reservations and were able to get a table near the bar. The food is better than in the past and the menu has changed. The French toast was quite good with even better potatoes and 2 lean sausages. The Monte Cristo wasn't what I expected, with an over-easy egg, black forest ham and cheese between 2 toasted slices of Artisan bread which came with a good fruit salad. They were very busy for the day but service was nice and the staff checked on us several times. Planning to visit again in a month, this time with reservations so we can get a table with the ocean view!

Pros: Great view, parking lot, nice service, big groups can dine in the rear restaurant

Cons: Noisy

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Save yourself the waste of time & DO NOT visit. I made my 1st trip to the restaurant after finding their webpage online. When I got there I sat up stairs where the atmosphere was cozy & the service was horrible! I waited for 10-15 minutes for service ordered a beer & was never served again. After sitting there with my empty glass for over 20 minutes I left. I went home & looked them up online again where I discovered there is a link for a give away that doesn't work so emailed the restaurant about the non existent service & deceptive link. I never heard back from anyone more than a month ago. After telling my friend about the situation he said lets try again but we will visit the lower bar. After sitting at the bar for over 20 minutes the bar keep had made only 2 drinks & kept telling us she'd be right with us. We left without ever getting service. As of writing this I just tried their give away a link again & it still doesn't work. There are so many better places to visit!

Pros: Great Location

Cons: HORRIBLE service OVERPRICED food
