Timothy MathewsJuly 6, 2019The halibut is one of their signature dishes. It’s amazing. The fudge cake is also relish and they have great cocktails. The views are stunning. It beats fisherman’s wharf any day.
- JessicaAugust 15, 2011One of the coolest places to check out in the city.I try to take everyone I know here,its so full of history.Great food & the views are amazing.Come at night or at sunset.Check out Sutro Ruins nearby!
Stephanie BMay 18, 2012The prices are very reasonable considering the amazing view you get while dining. Def go for sunset! The cioppino is out of this world.
Bert DiVietriOctober 16, 2011Run around the building as fast as you can then go inside and run around the dining area as fast as you can. You will be rewarded.
Go check out the giant camera, "camera obscura," behind the restaurant (outside). I never even knew that was there!
Mel PelaezOctober 5, 2011Get the homemade strawberry shortcake! They make their own vanilla flavored whip cream
Edna LoAugust 23, 2014Pretty casual. Thought it was more of a high end breakfast place but its not. Can tell the place have a lot of history and the interior can use a little updating.
Pamela YbarraDecember 7, 2018Do NOT leave anytime your car. Two of our windows were broken to steal our backpacks. So four bowls of soup didn’t just cost $100 it cost $1000 since we have to pay for damages. Go read Facebook post
Gene KeenanJune 30, 2010Tuesday is half off the entire wine list. We hit it a few times a month for the $40/bottle veuve champagne.
Mark McGregorNovember 22, 2011Toast Adolph Sutro while enjoying the epic view. Operating in this recently-renovated building since 1909.
Benjy WeinbergerFebruary 10, 2012With these views you'd think no one would care about the food, but it's actually pretty good!
Carl BurckhardtNovember 21, 2010chodwer is pretty good for west coast. bread is awesome! calamari was a little bready
Greg DewarJuly 5, 2009If you go and eat at the bar, you usually don't have to wait. Their burger is really good!
RebekahMarch 14, 2011waiter Chris m ignored us for like half an hour when we were done eating and wanted more drinks. great ciopinno tho
Brian SnyderFebruary 5, 2010The filet with truffle butter is right on the money but the crab cakes are a bit disappointing and use a little too much filling

"They've been making chalet beer since before craft brews were a twinkle in your eye, and the sweeping view of Ocean Beach, makes you want to cozy up with a creamy entree and one, or five, drinks."
SFist - 8.5
"One of the top brunch places in SF. Biscuits and gravy and veggie sandwich were really good. The cocktails were decent too. The ambiance and service is pretty laid back like outer sunset :P"
Pavan Kulkarni - 6.2
"The bloody Mary comes rather spicy and and with a Bacon and brown sugar rim coating. I recommend it with gin. C'est Magnifique!"

"Great beach for a run, especially at low tide. Clean and usually pretty deserted. The distance from the zoo to Cliff House is about 5k, so it makes for a good 10k run up and back."
Holger Lüdorf - 9.2
"Gets very cold in the evening, but it's without question one of the best spots I've ever been to for a sunset."
Sasha Valle - 9.6
"Great and challenging short run. Only about 3 miles, but it gets steep."
