I've been here several times, and unfortunately this time found the service not up to the usual standards The young man who served us seem eager to please, but inexperienced and unable to handle all the table he was waiting on Won't stop us from going back, but this needs to be addressed

If you’ve been here before, they have an amazing new chef..we did the chef tasting menu (they let us share!) and we added the panisse appetizer (had to look up what this was) and so glad I did! Unique fresh food with a rotating menu. If you haven’t been here before, it’s worth the trip!

Fantastic meal in a lovely restaurant. I had the tasting menu with wine pairing and everything was creative and delicious. Surprising and delightful mixtures of textures and tastes, each complementing the next. My husband had the pork meatballs and scallops which were perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Cafe Chameleon has a new chef and is a real gem!

Service was excellent. The ladies and gentlemen were on top of their game. They made you feel very welcomed and very much at home. They provided us with attentive but not overbearing service. We were not rushed through the dinner and were able to relax a bit after the meal. A relaxing dining experience. Dinner portions were very good. A few less and possibly shredded almonds in the scallops, please Plenty of parking on the streets around the café. We look forward to returning for dinner and possibly just for drinks at The bar.

Cafe chameleon is one of my favorite restaurants. The owner, Trey, and his family always make you feel at home. Excellent cocktails. The food is always great I’ve never had a meal there I didn’t like.
