Rated one star because you can...

Rated one star because you can't do a "negative" star.

If you like a contentious and rude dining atmosphere, this is the place for you! The view is awesome, and the food struggles to be average. But the service is less than poor. ADVICE: Do not note your dissatisfaction with management. It is your duty, as customer, to comply with rules you don't get to see in advance. For instance - if the server brings you somebody else's selection, DO NOT complain. You will be out of bounds.

Summary: YUK!

Make a reservation on a clear evening, and watch the sunset while sampling their beers!

This is another must-visit San Francisco establishment that I have been frequenting ever since it opened in the 90s. I noticed that some folks have used the phrase, "tourist trap." While I agree that tourists do frequent this spot, I must point out that this is certainly no "trap." And as someone who loves and is proud of San Francisco, I actually INVITE tourists to visit Beach Chalet, so that I can share with them one of my favorite spots in the City.

Beach Chalet is also a microbrewery restaurant that offers top notch craft beers. Beach Chalet upstairs; Park Chalet downstairs - can't go wrong with either - both offer excellent libations, and also live entertainment on most nights.

Oh, and if you have never been, set aside 5-10 minutes to browse the murals and museum-artifacts and the scale model of Golden Gate Park.

Tourist Trap

The Beach Chalet, which was pretty good when it opened ten some years ago, has slowly but inexorably degenerated into a tourist trap. The service is slow and incompetent. The waiter presented me with a different bottle of wine than I asked for, and one that was more than twice the price of the one I ordered. Nice try!

My prime rib special was crammed onto one plate, with no salad as the menu had stated. The baked potato was cold, the creamed spinach a soupy mess that got everything on the plate wet. And they tried to charge me for a larger cut than I ordered and had.

This is a shame, because the location is great and the Chalet is the jewel of the west end of Golden Gate Park. A poorly run operation like this gives San Francisco restaurants a bad name.

At least I can say the deep fried calamari is pretty good.
