Two frozen lobster tails (no whole lobsters unfortunately) - very expensive but delicious. And they had a nice selection of fresh salmon filets - coho, spring, sockeye, and very affordable. They have a lot of other fish and seasoning mixes. I got lost twice finding this place, turns out you have to drive pass the General Store, make a right and go straight into a large parking lot, go pass it and swing a left around a prison looking high fence and finally park at the little house there. It's really hidden!

For a number of years we have bought shaved salt ice here during our annual fishing trip out of…read moreGold River. For one whole tote, delivered to the parking area beside our boat, the price was $35 in the early 2000s. One tote was enough to fill 3 or 4 ice chests, plus a couple of fish lockers on the boat. In recent year the aged woman who runs the place has been accusing us of "stealing Ice" and has raised the price every year. In July 2023 she raised it to $150, and told us the commercial fishermen were complaining because they used their own totes???? She also insisted on cash payment, which we suspect went directly into her own pocket. Beware the Ice Nazi of French Creek! We, nor our fellow fishermen, will ever again stop there.

I started with the flavorful lemon merengue martini. Yum! The wine selection was pleasing, and we able to order both a chardonnay and a cabernet. My husband had the potato leek soup and I enjoyed the stuffed mushroom caps as our appetizers. They were both delicious! For dinner, he had the special of the day - stuffed chicken with Mashed potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was perfection and the mashed potatoes were incredible. I had the seafood crepe with garlic bread and vegetables. I'm so glad I tried this! It was rich and savory, without feeling too heavy. To finish things off, we shared the sticky date cake - a dessert that is a must-try. It's clear that they take great pride in their food, beverages and service. Other than recommending every item we ordered, I'd also suggest making a reservation ahead of time since this is a small restaurant. You won't be disappointed dining at Chameleons!

Now to be fair there was hardly anyone in the place other than us five, so the kitchen wasn't slammed with people. That all said we enjoyed a wonderful, if somewhat pricey dinner, that would bring us back again!

Just simply looking at the exterior, the place appeared to be a pub. The signage says the same thing! I later find out that it's split into two. A pub side and a restaurant side, separated from each other. You wouldn't have guessed that at all. The restaurant side is a bit more upscale and has nicer decor for a sit down meal. Great view of the beach is a bonus! Friendly service and decent food.

After staying here in December and loving the hotel and the surrounding area, we stayed again on…read morebusiness a couple of days ago. Our dinner in December was a mixture of excellent service and very average food. This time we ate dinner elsewhere but stopped in for breakfast on our departure day, and boy do we wish we hadn't. The lovely K was on a call so I went down and ordered our breakfasts, she poached soft eggs, me sunny up. Both crispy bacon, potatoes and toast. We were the only people in the place at 9:40 AM which should be an obvious red flag. Our previous experience had me concerned, but our timeline dictated it was this place or nothing until the ferry, which is not really an option either. The crispy bacon was fatty and swimming in bacon grease, the potatoes tasted off, the poached eggs very nice, my sunny up had a good skin on them, obviously under the warmer while eggs were poached. The toast almost crumbled when bitten into. Peanut butter and jam were asked for, and delivered. The peanut butter was fine, but the jam was so runny it wouldn't stick to the knife. I ate the eggs and the toast and left everything else as did K. I can't express how bad it was. Our waitress was out setting tables in the attached tent while people waited to be sat. One gentleman actually sat himself, I mentioned he may want to go elsewhere. Hated to do that, but........ We spoke to our server and she was very apologetic, and it looked like the apology was a common refrain. We will for sure stay at the hotel again, but will not set foot in that restaurant again, I'd rather go hungry.

Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination…read moreTake a look and you'll see Into your imagination Yes, to me, this place is the cheese equivalent of Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory - cheese, glorious cheese, for your sampling pleasure. And not just any cheese, prize winning cheeses! After gorging ourselves on fruit wine and cheese samples we took our purchases, accompanied by Stryder, the adorable big black poodle farm dog, to their lovely picnic area. It even has a sink for you to wash your hands before you eat, since it is impossible to resist petting all of the baby animals that you encounter along the way. They provide a self-guided tour map for you to explore this working farm with very few limitations. They only ask that they respect their property and that you leave it in the pristine condition that you found it. For those familiar with their cheese products from stores or farmer's markets, this store sells some artisan cheeses that you won't necessarily find in the other stores. Their factory is undergoing a major refurb which will not be complete for a short while so we were not able to do a factory tour but that by no means diminished our visit.

One thing that surprised us was that there is a milk dispenser where you bring a 1L bottle to fill up or you can buy a 1L bottle from the farm. You do have to get a token.
