Beach Chalet Brewery - San Francisco

BEWARE! BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS IF YOU VISIT AS THIS RESTAURANT IS THE FREQUENT TARGET OF SERIOUS CRIME... Our car was parked in the parking lot, right in front of the restaurant, broad daylight, bustling with alot of people around. 2 windows on our vehicle were smashed and of course all the contents were stolen (even though nothing was in plain sight). While walking around the parking lot after this happened to see if I could find any of our belongings I noticed another car also had their windows smashed. I talked with the restaurant manager, who wasn 't surprised at all and acknowledged it was a very frequent problem though blamed it on the city since it is a city-owned parking lot and the city won 't put up cameras. Obviously the City could and should do so, but if not the restaurant should to protect their patrons. Or the restaurant could hire a person to monitor the lot. Or they could mention upon check-in to make sure you 've left no valuables. Alot more could be done to protect people since it 's so frequent. No matter how great the view, it 's NOT worth it if your car is going to be damaged and items stolen (or worse). While I understand crime can happen anywhere, given this is a targeted location for criminals I wouldn 't suggest visiting until the restaurant takes it more seriously and takes action to protect their patrons.

Food, service and ambience were nice. Photos of the beer selection were far better than the beer selection, not recommended for beer lovers.

Our food was excellent but the location and the view are the main reasons to come here, and they are truly amazing. Parking can be a little challenging so bring your patience, but this place is definitely worthwhile.

Absolute WORST service I have ever received DON'T take anyone here for a special occasion or you will be horribly embarrassed :

Location was great. Food was good but the flatiron steak was a bit tough.
