The cafe owner, Sondra, and staff did such an amazing job for our daughter’s baby shower! It could not have turned out any better. They were so accommodating for allergies, even adding new dishes at the last minute as well as vegetarian options. We were not rushed and were treated as family. The food was so delicious and everyone mentioned they wish to return for dinner again. The food was abundant and the chef even treated us to a show as he prepared fresh mozzarella, plating it for a delicious caprese. The fish, chicken, meat dishes and vegetables were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone! What a perfect shower. Thanks to all at Cafe Chameleon and special shout out to Trey as the perfect bartender as well as all the attentive wait staff ❤️

Loved everything about our experience .. called ahead to make sure they had a kids menu.. couldn't have been more accommodating.. my grandkids loved it & asked when we go back! Drinks, apps, main meal all excellent.. had plans to have dessert at home but will definitely try that also next time!

We had such a delicious dinner here! The owners and staff made us feel very welcomed and we appreciated how attentive they were to our son's food allergies. They even put the game on in the dining room because they remembered our kids love watching sports. What a good night out!

I really enjoyed the experience here. It was recommended by a coworker for the chicken Parmesan, and I think it was worth the drive. It was crispy and cheesy and the vodka sauce really tied it together. And the fresh rolls?? Warm, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and slightly garlicky. The short rib buns were flavorful and my husband loved (the leftover haha). They were really attentive with the service. At one point the water was tasting a bit funny, but it was immediately addressed and rectified. Also the owner/manager stopped by our table to check on us and that’s when we learned how fresh and locally sourced the ingredients are. We finished the meal with the vanilla affogato and chocolate ganache and ? soooo good. I brought my bff here to celebrate and thank her and I’ll def be back with my husband.

SB W - I was a few tables away that night (which was weeks ago) and your poor attitude almost ruined our whole experience. I wouldn’t take a review from someone who split a chicken parm dinner with his S.O seriously, especially when writing about Cafe Chameleon. If I was a piece of lettuce I would wilt at the sight of you too. Their service was top notch and they handled your complaints with taste and attentiveness. If I was forced to handle a disrespectful customer like SB W he would not have been met with the kindness and respect he was shown that night. Cafe Chameleon has always brought 100% to the table when it comes to satisfying their customers and making every dining experience memorable.

We dined at Café Chameleon on a Sunday night. We ordered the Burrata, Garlic Shrimp and steak. The arugula leaves in the Burrata were visibly spoiled, slimy, and mushy. After pointing this out to our waiter, he brought another plate, but the replacement with spinach was also spoiled. We decided to forgo the Burrata altogether.To our surprise, when we received the check, we were charged for the Burrata. When I asked to speak to the manager, she explained that the restaurant follows a "farm-to-table" concept and suggested that spoiled vegetables can be a normal occurrence. While I appreciate the commitment to fresh ingredients, there's no excuse for serving visibly spoiled food.Aside from the vegetable issue, the overall flavor of the dishes left much to be desired. The food was excessively salty, and there was nothing noteworthy to write home about.It's very disappointing when a restaurant falls short on basic food quality and customer service.

Mike was an amazing waiter, so was the woman that also helped us. The manager Trey was super professional and took care of my order with any slight inconvenience. The food and drinks were perfect and my whole family was happy! Definitely will come again

We recently celebrated a 40th birthday for my wife. So happy to have made the decision to have the party at the Chameleon Cafe! The owners of the restaurant are very involved, and extended to customer needs. This really helped the process because it allowed me to focus on planning the party! The adlib detail created by the restaurant team were refreshing! All of the details were sorted through during the weeks leading up to the party, and come the night of the party, everything was perfect! The food and drinks were spot on with no corners cut! I definitely recommend this restaurant for any party’s, date nights, or special occasions! My wife and I will certainly be returning in the future! Thank you so much to the Chameleon Cafe, we are fans of your restaurant!

The food was incredible! We all had filet mignon and it melted in your mouth! The chocolate ganache cake was fabulous along with our Christmas margaritas! We will definitely be back! 10 stars!!

We walked in excited for a date night after seeing so many great reviews!First, the decor was awesome and we loved that there was live music. We were sat immediately and our drinks came fast. I will say it was one of the best old fashioned drinks I've had in a while!After that though, everything was fairly slow and while our server was attentive, it was a fairly long time to get everything. We loved our calamari app, but the rest of the food (smash burger and Milanese) was super bland. The bread was also a bit dry and didn't feel too fresh. Looks like many people commented on the pasta, so maybe we'd need to try that if we came again.

While billed as Fine Dining I would classify it as more just Ok Dining. There were only two servers for the whole dining room. They were attentive while there were only a few people in the restaurant. As soon as more diners arrived it was difficult to get their attention. The restaurant only filled up to about 75% of capacity at most. The Carmel Apple martini was spot on. As for the food it too was okay. The calamari was fine. My wife had the Short Rib with risotto which was quite tasty. My Strip Steak with Gorgonzola was cool when served and low on flavor. There were few dessert options but the cheesecake was good. The bill was $300 for five without the tip. So I was disappointed since it was awesome 4 years ago.
