From the reviews
My wife and I hosted our wedding dinner reception at Beach Chalet, reserving one of their private rooms called The Cove for 35 guests. This restaurant holds special meaning for us—it’s where we had our first dinner date—so it was the perfect spot to celebrate.
I recently visited this restaurant and had a great overall experience — especially if you love fresh seafood and good drinks. From the moment we sat down, it was clear that this place takes pride in its quality ingredients and relaxed atmosphere.
Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant offers the perfect combination of great food and stunning ocean views. We enjoyed a half dozen oysters to start, and they were fresh and delicious—the perfect way to kick off our meal.
I had an amazing experience at this place! It's steeped in history and has a unique charm. Perched on the second floor, the restaurant offers a fantastic view. The service was excellent, and my boyfriend and I were lucky to snag a table by the window.
Getting married at Beach Chalet Brewery and Restaurant
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
