I enjoyed dinner here. The service was friendly and the food was delicious. The fried calamari was crispy. The fra diavolo was spicy and delicious. The portion was a good size. The kids burger was more than enough for a kid. The atmosphere is cozy and attire smart casual. There was a pre-wedding dinner in a party room and it looked like a nice gathering. The bathrooms were spotless. read more

Still the very best restaurant in the area. Appetizers are all excellent, my favorite remains the Stuffed Mushrooms. The entrees are all first rate and the desserts are the best to be had anywhere. read more

The food is always good, the menu of choices are nice, if you order a mixed drink it is amazing, it's nicely decorated and comfortable. The service is excellent. Great for a large family gathering read more

We went here for our anniversary dinner and it was so nice! Friendly staff, absolutely delicious food, and wonderful ambiance. Also appreciate the reasonable prices and that they include salad and sides with your entree. Will definitley return again to this gem! read more

Stick with me. There's a lesson here. Any Kitchen Nightmare fans? There's a couple of old old old episodes of that remind me of this place. Stay with me. There's one where the restaurant is jn an old church and they serve an early bird buffet that attracts a much older crowd. There's another episode where the restaurant is set up as fine dining - with prices to match - and the executive chef is cooking a bunch of old school dishes with cream sauces and odd ingredient combinations that call to mind the highfalutin recipes of yesteryear. One look at the lunch crowd and the menu of chicken dishes with strawberries in sauce (???) and I just knew Zaddy Gordon had to be in the kitchen calling someone a donkey. Still there? This was a work holiday lunch with folks who'd been here before - I let them lead the way and got to try some things I'd probably pass on. We had some shrimp and avocado thing as an app - I wouldn't order it because I'm tired of getting pushed around by Big Avocado - but it was really good. The veggie spring rolls were good too. Some of my colleagues were all in on chicken and shellfish dishes (and the people who got the chicken and creamy strawberries cleaned their plates so what do I know). I went with one of my faves - chicken Caesar wrap with fries, side salad, Diet Coke, and a glass of sangria. We had one server for our party of 18 and she was fantastic. Another person kept our glasses full. Good to know: -The place is huge. Multiple dining rooms, bright, open, and airy. Did not expect that from outward appearances. You tell me chalet and I'm expecting a mountain cabin and Switzerland on the other side. -Great seating. We were there a couple hours and I felt comfortable the whole time -a bit pricey on the dishes but work was paying so I noted it and kept it moving So what did we learn today kids? ::cue sitcom learning a lesson music:: Don't make ageist assumptions - I really enjoyed the intergenerational vibe of the dining room and was secretly envious of the leisurely lunching monied crowd and want that for myself in a few years. Or tomorrow. Choose something reliable as your main dish, and be a little more adventuresome with appetizers. You may be pleasantly surprised. Try new to you restaurants. We grew up on chains (I'm 100% OK with that for many reasons), and it's always fun to discover a place I ordinarily wouldn't give a second thought. *no pics as I'm a professional by day and I was sitting across from my boss. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant. Hosted a retirement party in a private room and the service was excellent. Joanne was on point throughout the night with Julio assisting as well. The food was delicious and the desert cart was a highlight-homemade cakes to die for. Well done!!! read more

Not that it was fancy, the linen on the table makes you feel the comfortable room and tables. The food was good.

Sat at the bar and ordered clams casino. They were just ok. Bacon was rubbery for me. Ordered the prime rib to go. Never was asked before how I wanted it cooked. I said medium rare. I ended up getting the end piece, which was fine but it was sadly dry. No side gravy either. Although it was wrapped up like Fort Knox! The mashed potatoes were like a large spoonful size and tasted like instant. Veggies were good. Rice pudding was also good. Sadly for 45$ for prime rib, I expected better and won't go back for that reason. read more

Excellent place for lunch or dinner. Demos always takes care of our group when we have special events. Try the Chicken Chalet, with portobello mushrooms and Madeira sauce. Save room for the lemon cake read more

Food is very good. Had the salmon and steak and they didn't disappoint. The calamari was awesome. Bread is warm. Limited coffee options eg no espresso and limited desserts. Service is ok. If you're focus is the quality of the dishes then you'll definitely enjoy this place. Wife enjoyed jelly rancher sangria. read more

Wow ! I have driven by this place for years and finally decided to check it out . The food was absolutely perfect ! Cooked to order, fresh and cooked to perfection. Our server was so nice also. It wasn't crowded when I went, just the right amount of people. Quiet , relaxing and pleasant. I really can't say enough about this place except it is my new favorite and will be for a long time. Already have plans to go back a few more times. Oh and I didn't mention that the prices are extremely affordable. Under $100 for 2 , appetizer, (shared 1 )dinner, 2 iced teas , and a desert we shared because we were full. What a great place. read more

So expected a great prime rib and it tastes like like last sat prime rib absolutely the worst I've ever had . mushroom appetizer was disgusting the best part of this was a 8 dollar seafood bisque soup very good that was the highlight so very disappointed had so high expectations total let down read more

Food was great drive is were very good the service was wonderful and the ambiance was nice and relaxing. I would definitely go back. Steak was cooked perfect the chalet chicken was wonderful loved it with homemade mashed potatoes yummy. read more

We went there with a large group. Steak and chicken were perfect but their bass was horrible, dripping in oil. Service was just ok. I could stomach everything except the bad smell. When the a/c wasn't running, the dirty carpet smell is what we got. This was our 2nd trip and I have to say, our last. read more

Go to place for meeting business folks since it is literally situated right off the highway. Great convenient location with ample parking. Good drinks too. They tend to rush you if you happen to be there near closing time. Don't plan on dessert and they turn off the espresso machine in advance to get you out. Dining room also tends to be bright so it feels like you are eating at a nursing home. Overall the food is excellent and that's what matters. New management would probably give this place a boost. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. The food is consistently good, the owner and staff are professional and efficient and the prices are very reasonable. Their soups are very good, especially their mushroom soup. The restaurant is spotless with plenty of parking. read more

It's a solid meal everytime. It's not fancy or extravagant but they do a great job with their food and cocktails

Soooo good! For the value, you really can't beat what you get! The strip streak was so large I shared with my boyfriend and was only 32, coming with a side of veggies and potatoes! The calamari was also seasoned and fried to perfection, a must try! My boyfriend's bolognese was also extremely large portioned, enough for two people I would say. It was a little sweeter than expected but still yummy nonetheless. I also love the vibe of the restaurant it made me really wish that I was on top of a mountain! The staff is nice and they usually hold events on the left side of entrance. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! It's right off of exit 11 on 78. read more

Been coming here for a long time. Never disappoints. Very good food and service. Upscale atmosphere.

It was so nice to finally be OUT to eat. The tent looked stunning. Very clean and classy. Made you completely forget the high way was right next to us. Service was impeccable as always. Got you right to a table and your drinks and food were out in no time. Most importantly they followed the proper protocol for COVID. Everyone stay safe, but keep our businesses flowing! I had the mussels and the portobello and it was fantastic. Obvi with a martini in hand. read more

We've driven by this place dozens of times headed west on 78. Finally tried this place and it was great. We had dinner at the bar - lots of regulars here. This is a restaurant that still serves bread and includes salad with their entrees. Both were very good. BF ordered Linguini w red clam sauce I ordered a chicken special w artichoke hearts and a tasty sauce. Delicious. Generous portions too. Also good to see them busy with parties too. Will definitely return. read more

We went there for dinner. I had the crispy calamari, she had the oysters. They have one of the better calamari that I have had. She said the oysters were large and very tender. House salad was good with the balsamic vinaigrette, as was her beet salad! The Chicken Murphy is a dish to try if you like hot and sweet peppers. The scallops and escargot was excellent. Our server was excellent and attentive. We will go back. read more

Mediocre place. A little tired. Food was ok. The only thing it has going for it is that it is close to our house.

Another place that I love to go on the regular (20 years now!). A nice atmosphere with the owners always on-site and keeping touch with guests. The Seafood fra-diavolo is very good, the soups are very rich, and the Chicken Murphy is a signature dish. I have never had a bad meal or experience here and even the value is good. read more

Everything was excellent. Food, service, value. Been trying to get back here for 25 years since the days of the seafood buffet. Will be back more often for sure. read more

Desserts are the bomb. Marsala is divine Salads are top notch, sometimes it depends on who is the kitchen , some nights it's just Good good, but some nights it's as of someone working magic back there.. on those nights the food is DIVINE! read more

We have to give the Chalet an excellent rating. Our server Allison was amazing considering she had to also deal with another party which was making a scene during dinner. Great job Allison in juggling rowdy customer's. All our meals were done exceptionally and no one in our party had any negative thoughts about the meals. We had the stuffed shrimp, Shrimp/Scallops Misto and seafood Fra Diavlo. Thanks for a wonderful meal. Let's hope the weather holds up as it did start to get a little cold as the evening went on. read more

Quite simply, Mountain View Chalet is one of the finest restaurants we have ever frequented. From the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere to the perfect food to the exceptional service by Manny, it is the best. We have had dinner there numerous times over the last several months and it has been great every time. I love the Chicken Marsala and ChIcken Parm and my wife loves the Filet Mignon and Prime Rib. Also they always have different appetizer specials which are good and the desserts are all wonderful. All homemade and the ice cream is the best I've ever had. I recommend the Chalet highly. A premium dining destination. They truly care about their patrons and it shows. read more

First time there food was amazing. Staff was amazing. Definitely going back. Definitely recommend.

Always good been there many time rite off I78. Had a very good roast beef and enjoyed Italian and sea food in the past.

Awesome! A wonderful restaurant that never disappoints. My meals have always been consistently delicious! The food is always fresh and cooked perfectly to how I order. They create a beautiful atmosphere. There are plenty of windows which afford you the opportunity to enjoy your meal while watching the beauty of nature outside. A very enjoyable experience! read more

Great food! Always good service. A little pricey but nice for a special occasion. Love their steaks.

I wanted to kiss the cook for the best penne with vodka sauce ever !!! Third time here. 5 stars each time. Creamy, nice blend with tomatoes, penne done perfect. Enough for two. (Sorry I forgot to take picture). Food was excellently prepared. I attended an event here with a limited menu. My friend had a steak which he said was excellent. The mashed potatoes came in a white , creamy mound - just like your mom makes homemade. The salad was ordinary but the house dressing was excellent! It was a light touch to the meal. The chocolate cake had a touch of orange liquor, if you don't want liquor let them know. I just wish it was chocolate cake also, but I do need to cut back on chocolate so I was okay with that. Cake was moist, yet light. Icing was light, almost whipped. Service was 5 stars. There was nothing I would change - everything was 100%. Plates and forks were clean, no foreign matter in food. No hair , no dirty dishes - 100% clean and sanitary. Covid precautions taken, clean rest rooms. read more

Food was quick, hot and wonderful. Exceeded expectations on a busy night. Would definitely go back.

Filet Mignon, seafood, home made desserts and service are always amazing! A must go to place if in the area!

Place was redone, quite beautiful inside. Need to keep the lights a little lower but, otherwise it is beautiful. Service is always good for thime we have been there. Food is excellent. Always. I usually get the NY strip because it is local, and it is probably the best steak you will ever have. No fat, no grizzle. Just meat, always cooked to perfection. They really mastered it. read more
