THE LAKE CHALET Story

Lake Chalet opened its doors in January 2009 in the historic Oakland Boathouse located on Lake Merritt. Since then, we have been proud to provide quality interpretations of classic dishes and daring new ventures into the uncharted territories of food.

Lake Chalet's interior, designed by the award-winning CCS Architecture, reflects the hip sensibilities of the surrounding area while also paying tribute to Oakland's storied past. The multi-level restaurant offers dining directly over the water on the Dock, stunning views of Lake Merritt from the Lake Dining Room and an 80 foot marble bar complete with floor to ceiling windows offering a 180º view of the sparkling water.
