Brian StraussOctober 17, 2016Way better than I expected. Good bar & grill American menu. Simple classics. Cozy and comfortable even during a Giants playoff game. I suspect that the weekend day drinking scene is a little wilder.
Sam DownieNovember 27, 2013So if @kevinrose likes this then, oh boy so do I @samdownie . Get the Fish & Chips, very tasty. To go with it try the V.F.W light beer. And do get a table by the window.
Beer 47December 9, 2014When available, the specialty German style beers, like Roggenbier, are excellent. On a sunny day, hang out on the back lawn and enjoy a cold craft beer and a view of the windmill.
Shawna MarieSeptember 15, 2016Beautiful views from the windows. Their fish n chips is very good! Also they serve brunch on Sundays and it's amazing! Make reservations to guarantee a table!
Ocean Beach BulletinOctober 23, 2011Check out the marker for the Gjoa, which was the first ship to sail the Northwest Passage and once lay aground in Golden Gate Park. http://bit.ly/npRWcn On the north side of the Chalet parking lot.
Damian BayonaAugust 11, 2017Views of the ocean are very nice but be warned about sitting next to the window, sun will roast you. Good sandwiches though at a $ premium for the views. Brewery on site.
GusFebruary 6, 2019Beer week: cioppino with red beer based salse and dungeness crab pairing with the same red beer! AWESOME!
Melissa AndersonMarch 2, 2016What a view! Nothing better than a window seat on a bright, beautiful sunny day. Loved the open faced crab melt.
BrookeOctober 27, 2015The host gave me her favorite corner table right next to the window. It definitely has wow factor views as long as it's not foggy!
Michelle D.January 22, 2017Get a window table and watch the waves. For brunch, try the corned beef hash!
djsJune 18, 2017Giant letdown in food presentation, freshness, quantity and flavor. Alright beer. Great views.
Leah W.June 27, 2015I only ever come here after Bay to Breakers. Love their outside area and their bar is great!
Every single door in this place slams shut with a terrific bang. Close them gently or you'll have a migraine by meal's end.
Sarah DeBerryMay 6, 2014Thank you for having a power outlet under my seat in the bar table area. I really appreciated it!
Jennifer KhoshbinAugust 7, 2013The Park Chalet is in the back facing the park, the Beach Chalet us upstairs facing the ocean. Just FYI
Claudia A.November 3, 2011back patio. tons of babies on beach blankets on a nice day watching a live band that plays kids jamz. beer. they get it.
Mark DregerFebruary 25, 2018Food is mediocre but the view is killer. Other than the Cliff House, this is the only restaurant facing Ocean Beach.
Kai TiuraOctober 31, 2011Do not pass up the mussels in white wine, cilantro and garlic sauce with Spanish chorizo and grilled sourdough wedge. Incredible!
If you bring kids eat at the Park Chalet and let them run around in the park.
Nice place to have an early dinner specially while the sun is setting. The local brew is not too bad either- Nelson ElhageJanuary 9, 2016Great view out over the water, and pretty decent beer. Food wasn't bad, but was generally disappointing.
- Randy SimesSeptember 19, 2010Skip the wait and go right to the bar. Give the Presidio IPA a taste if you haven't already. If you time your visit with sunset it makes the experience even better.
Rahmat B.October 27, 2010This is my first time in San Francisco. And after a lond walk through Golden Gate Park this is a nice place to end up and watch the sun set!
Blake SimmonAugust 17, 2011Definitely get the Beach Basil Ginger. By far the best drink of our entire 2-week stay here in San Francisco.- Shasta RocksJuly 21, 2018Prices listed here are incorrect, management won't honnor their old prices and admit they haven't updated in 3 years. Food is mediocre. At least good view, but you have to sit by the window.
- Robert KalafateMay 1, 2011After you visit here, check out the 'sister' Chalet at the Lake- Merritt in Oakland. Spishally happie hour and the Gondola!!
L Breezy 💯June 1, 2014$22 for 2 very and I mean very small pieces of Steak & fries. Well the view of the Ocean was nice.
Alexander WinterFebruary 10, 2013Awesome view, don't let them seat you in the sun in the afternoon, it will boil you!
- Emmanuel HaleFebruary 17, 2013The clam chowder was really tasty, and the crab cakes were great, if a little small.
Put some hot sauce in your chowder, it'll change your life!
A.J. FiorellaAugust 29, 2011Go on Tuesdays - for Taco Tuesdays and ask to sit out back on the lawn (weather permitting)
Fantastic beer, views and service. The pastrami sando is awesome!
Jack WhalenMay 12, 2012There is no salt or pepper on the tables (a growing trend depending on the level of pretentiousness) so ask if you need it.
