My wife and I have been to Chameleons many times. It is our go to restaurant for all our important celebrations. Lianne, Ally, the owner, and staff have always treated us with courtesy and respect and made us feel extremely welcome each time we have visited. The food has always been excellent and we look forward to every visit. We couldn't ask for better service and treatment from the excellent staff. We are very fortunate to have such a high quality restaurant with such caring staff and food in our area.

Chameleons is hands-down the best restaurant in Parksville! The food is incredible especially the Salmon Neptune and coconut curry. The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale, and the service is always warm and attentive. A true gem that feels like big city dining in a small town. Can’t wait to go back!

Didn’t even get in horrible waitress old lady. My Asian family came in and they told us to leave we can’t serve you. The feeling felt like they were racist to Asian people. They don’t deserve to work there if they can’t accompany Asian customers. Don’t go here if you’re Asian.

This wonderful restaurant - if I could give it a 6 /5 for service, I would. Excellent seafood crepes adaptation for celiac/gluten free. The Teriyaki prawns were delicious, too. The ladies Leanne and Aly are very kind, as well.

Went to this restaurant for the first time. We were very pleased with the atmosphere as we entered. We had a reservation. Reservations are preferred as the restaurant seating is limited to 9 tables. Food is made to order. No steam table quality here. Menu has a good selection for various tastes. Our food arrived hot and beautifully presented. I ordered Schnitzel. Enjoyed every bite. I highly recommend this restaurant

Our server was lovely. The coconut curry bowl didn’t have much flavour and had wayyy to many carrots

Whenever we come to Parksville for vacation, we eat here! We have celebrated my husband’s birthday at Cameleons three years in a row. The owner Ali, is super friendly and truly loves what her and her husband have created from the restaurant itself, to the wonderful meals that they prepare. And she truly makes the best margaritas and cosmos. We look forward to returning again and again, Suzanne & Scott
A cozy restaurant, warm environment and a family run business. The food was excellent and the sticky date cake was out of the world!! A must-go place, you can just tell that the food is made out of love and passion!!!

Last night we celebrated my Husband's birthday at Chameleons. It was our first time at the restaurant, but it won't be our last. I had the Salmon Wellington. It was amazing. My Husband had the Braised Short Ribs and loved them. The food was flavourful, served piping hot and well presented. The portions are not skimpy. As it was his birthday, he received a delicious dessert on the house. Thank you for making our special occasion 'special'.

Be sure to make a reservation, this place is often booked fir a reason! Thoughtfully prepared dishes and a great wine list for any price point. We had the crab cakes and braised shortribs, both a 10/10! Great restaurant for celebrating special occasions!
