Great service, delicious meal. One of my favorite restaurants.

I started with a perfectly made French 75 ? followed by egg rolls and salad wraps. Then we split a pork shoulder with polenta and a marscapone filled, bacon wrapped date. Yum! They have a perfect patio and a great, attentive staff! I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

One of my favorites in town. A wonderful patio and amazing good food and great staff. Pat has a wonderful place.

Clearly the place appeared short staffed and the servers overworked, taking more than an hour to bring the food, despite the restaurant not being full. Rice fettuccine with salmon was not awful, although the chef went a tad overboard with cheese. I was able to peek in the kitchen and the place did not seem clean. Hoping they can get a visit from the health department.

Absolutely AMAZING! We had a large party looking for a place with good food and better drinks last minute and this place did not disappoint. The staff was hilarious as the waiter took in our rambunctious group and played right along with us. The owner came out to check on things and the food and outdoor vibe was incredible. Cannot recommend enough!

Service is just terrible. We were a group of 6 plus a baby with reservations. They say us at some tent outside (which was a cute vibe however not very practical to eat at). The table was extremely low so I had to crouch over to eat. The high chair was so high and the table so abnormally low that my baby couldn’t even eat in the high chair so I had to hold her in my lap…not what I expect at a high end restaurant with pricey food. No change table in their dingy bathroom so had to change baby out front in the parking lot in the trunk of my car with everyone waiting in line watching. Again, not what I expect at an expensive restaurant.Then it took 1.5 HOURS to receive our food. When we arrived the place was empty. We then watched multiple groups who arrived after us receive their food before us. In the 1.5 hours we waited for our food, the server came over once to ask if we want more drinks. We said no but we want our food. He didn’t say anything and walked off. I then had enough as our child was getting fussy and crying and it was getting late, I flagged down some other server to ask where our food is. He didn’t even bother to stop and come talk to me, but instead kept walking as I was talking and said “sorry I’m not sure”. Magically, a few minutes later our food shows up. They said they’re busy and kitchen is backed up which I know is a BS lie because when we arrived there was barely any other customers. Then he comes and brings out bill and has the audacity to say he’s added an automatic 20% gratuity!! For what exactly!? Food 1.5 hours late, uncomfortable eating conditions, had to hold child in my lap as I was trying to eat my $40 meal, no apology or anything for food being so late….and you ADD 20%!? Do not go here. Just don’t waste your time or money.

Great food, outdoor patio is cute, and a very much Celiac friendly menu - would have been 5/5 if service was faster. Once we got our first item, things were fine - took 20 minutes to have our order taken from the time we sat down, and another 15 minutes before the drinks came.

Checked this place out for the first time tonight and am honestly surprised that they have so many 5 star reviews. I’ll start with the positives, the patio is cute, the food was pretty good, the lettuce cups where a little too salty but the salmon and papaya salad were pretty tasty(more like a salad with papaya than an actual Thai style papaya salad), but not worth how expensive everything is. Especially with the level of service we were given, first off, one of the servers wasn’t wearing a mask and when we said something to him he said he was vaccinated and that he doesn’t need it, it made us super in conformable since our son is too little to be vaccinated and we thought masks where required when you’re not able to social distance. Other than that, they were understaffed, we sat over 15 min before someone even came and took our drink order, the service with slow, there was one guy who was pretty prompt filling water he was basically the only attention we go. I would expect with such expensive food they would be able to hire more people to provide more efficient service.

The older white gentleman that works the bar needs a serious attitude check. He was purposely ignoring me while helping the only other patron at the bar, also overheard him say to one of his co-workers I was not the “vibe” of there spot. I can’t help but laugh, I’m half his age and conservatively making double his salary. The drinks were awesome (he didn’t make mine, ironically) which is why I left it at 3 stars and not 2. I will be back, hopefully for some better service?

This place is so good! The patio is super cute! The way they have it makes you feel like you have your own little private spot and it looks beautiful! The food and drinks are amazing too. I've never heard of this place before but now is one of my favorite spots.

I have to say I only wish I knew about this place sooner. Incredible food and an amazing atmosphere.We didn't really know what we were getting into when we stopped by Chameleon, but, are very glad we did.The indoor and outdoor decor is beautiful. We elected to sit out on the patio where they had a beautiful set up and heat lamps. Through COVID, they were able to space everyone at a safe distance and provide a great experience.Food & drink was great. The Spicy Mango Margarita packed a nice little kick and left you craving for more after every sip. As an appetizer, we tried the Chameleon Wrap which was very tasty. Wishing there was more food in the plate though. The main course was a toss up between the Pork Shoulder and the King Salmon. Upon recommendation from the waiter we went with the salmon. You could tell each ingredient was pick with intention. The flavors blend together so well, melting in your mouth and keeps you coming back for another bite.Prices are on the higher end but it is well worth it for the quality of food you are getting. Excited to return and try many more dishes.
