Park Chalet

We have been lucky enough to visit the park chalet a few times.I would definately make a stop if you are in the area. The food and drink offerings are great. My family of 5 is always happy to visit. Eggs Benedict and lobster Mac n cheese are always great options.They have friendly staff, outdoor space and welcome pets!See you soon!

We came here several Saturdays ago as we had received a gift card that could be used for the Beach or Park Chalet. Mind you we grew up in the city and went to high school and college in SF but these locations were never spots we frequented as they felt kind of touristy destinations. We decided to try the Park Chalet side because at first glance the atmosphere looked nice and relaxed and it was a sunny day. There's an outdoor patio and there's an indoor patio enclosed with glass structure which made for a nice and bright seating area. We made a reservation and when we got there the host area is weird. We had a reservation but we still had to wait in the line, hmm? Anyway the wait was not that long to be seated. Menu looked decent and not overwhelming. I ordered the lobster/shrimp roll and wish I hadn't. My spouse had the burger which would have been a better choice. The burger was tasty and salad was nice. Now for the lobster roll, the highlight was the bread and the lobster/shrimp was bland and salty at the same time. Also the coleslaw was the worst I ever had- coleslaw should be crunchy and light - there's was super soggy...gross. And the fries were almost cold, so they were hard and not crunchy. Makes you wonder if my order was sitting on the counter for a bit before it got to me. The saving grace is that we were paying with a gift card. Service by our waitress was ok and from I can tell wait staff as whole were friendly and attentive. I don't think I'll be back to try anything else. It's very hard for me to give a place a second chance because the menu is nothing special and would prefer to spend money where I know the food is spot on each time. The 3 stars were for the ambience and service.

We walked in on a lark. We were quickly seated by a wonderful, indoor fireplace and Christmas tree. There was holiday music playing just loud enough, but not too loudly. The server was pleasant and appropriately attentive.We ordered corned beef hash with the soft poached egg, a coffee, steak and fries (medium, rare), and lemon ricotta beignets. Everything came out in a timely fashion, nicely served, and made of fresh ingredients.

My family and I went to this place. We are very disappointed because last Sunday we ordered 2 salmos and the salmon was smelling bad and very sticky. My kids wanted to go back to this place again and we ordered pasta, butter, and mac & cheese and the cheese was moldy and green.This restaurant has a serious problem, the chef is not doing what needs to be done, and it's unhealthy.

I've been coming here for over 15+ years and the service has NEVER been good. I dont know why I keep coming back. Maybe it's the location and the somewhat decent food. But every single time I come back, the service is always lacking. Our waters dont get filled, the service takes forever. They dont greet you when you check in etc. I could go on and on. I really hope they work on this so on my next visit we get somewhat decent service.

If you can make it through the gauntlet of people waiting -- because you'll inevitably have to despite having a reservation -- you will likely have a really nice meal and experience at the Park Chalet. Dining inside the glasshouse is much preferable to being outside in the potentially chilly albeit nice picnic tables, as this is the windy Ocean Beach area at the west end of the Sunset District. And inside is a must if there's even worse inclement weather.Weekend brunch on a beautiful day was excellent. Most everyone in our group of family and relatives genuinely declared their selections delicious. Cocktails and beers were flowing. The only person slightly disappointed with their order was someone who got minestrone that she found too tart from lemon. I enjoyed Egg Benedict with Canadian bacon, and the English muffin was more like a crumpet. Textbook perfect poached eggs sat atop the ham slices on the bread rounds. Delectable. My mother, the celebrant of honour, thoroughly enjoyed her salmon entrée. Other excellent fare at our table included Corned beef hash with Poached eggs and thick toast triangles, as well as some flawless Fish and Chips.Service and ambiance are gracious, lively and lovely for such a busy restaurant. It's a fabulous picturesque and chill neighborhood. Double check their hours and days that are open because it's not necessarily daily. Enjoy a repast at Park Chalet, if ever you visit in San Francisco on a day at the beach.

We'd originally planned to dine at Beach Chalet, but it was extremely crowded during lunch on a Friday, so we were routed over to Park Chalet which had easy accommodations for our party of 4.I'd visited Park Chalet about a year ago in 2023 and it was a good experience. I'd subsequently visited Beach Chalet later last year, and liked my experience at Park Chalet a lot better, but wanted to give Beach Chalet another chance to experience. Although I didn't this past trip, I did at least get to visit Park Chalet again to confirm it's a wonderful place.I feel there's minor differences in the menus of Beach Chalet and Park Chalet, so it's a similar culinary experience. You can check the menus online or at the door to compare. Many items are parallel to the Park and Beach restaurants.Kudos to Mr. Dustin Durham and General Manager, Mr. Ivor Bradley who runs a great restaurant as the faces of the establishment.We had excellent service. The food was delivered fast and fresh, prepared to order without incident.Parking can be tough here, but maybe that's a testament to it's popularity on The Great Highway near Golden Gate Park.The ambiance of Park Chalet is excellent, it's quaint and peaceful. We had tried:Clam ChowderCalamariSalmonFish & ChipsLobster & Shrimp RollThey all received high marks from each of our diner's. I think kids will always love the Fish & Chips. My son, who's a selective (i.e., picky and fussy) eater loved that dish the times we came before but tried the salmon on this date and loved it as well as the calamari. I had the Lobster & Shrimp Roll. I could have sworn in 2023 it was a pure Lobster roll without shrimp, but I could be mistaken. The key to the successful experience was in the service by Ivor's staff and his and Dustin's management, which their hard work and efforts show brilliantly as a very pleasant dining experience that I'd recommend to tourist and locals alike.

We just had our wedding reception at Park Chalet last month in November. While it was during a bomb cyclone, we couldn't be happier with how the party turned out. Chris, our event coordinator, and the day of manager and staff did such an amazing job taking care of us and our guests. They accommodated our cocktail style layout and made sure our vendors were set up smoothly. One of the staff members even made sure myself and my partner had a plate of food as they saw us running around the party. All the food was delicious and presentation was A+! They even looked after our pup who was free to roam around in his "tux". We could not have asked for a better experience and felt very lucky rain and all. Thank you again Chris and the entire Park Chalet staff.

The atmosphere is casual - but prices reflect the area for sure. Good sized portions of excellent food. Good wait staff - friendly and approachable and efficient. The fact that pups are allowed is awesome - but their owners are often inconsiderate which isn't. Beach Chalet has the views....but I think Park Chalet has a better menu.

I live near this place and have been turned away because the staff decided to close early more times than I can count.Do not go by their advertised hours because they are very regularly closed 1-2 hours early.If y'all are closing early advertise it SOMEWHERE so we stop getting shut down!!
