She is a superb server and human. All the servers helped each other out which was awesome and a great team environment. I had the desert duo for dessert - yummmmm House Chardonnay which was surprisingly delicious. And green salad with salmon added. The salmon was meh but the salad was so yummy so it made up for it.

We went to Chameleons the other night for my birthday dinner and it exceeded our expectations in…read moreevery way. The service is friendly and attentive. The ambiance is warm and cozy. 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!

Fully enjoyed my experience and felt very cared for, despite the busy atmosphere!

Definitely not the case at Pastimes on our visit this evening. Our server Teresa was excellent, even though she was quite busy. She happily answered our questions about the food, and the choices we were going to make. We shared a house salad which was plentiful and had a nice accompaniment of dried cranberries and almonds. Both items are things that are often scrimped upon as they are complimentary items that aren't an inexpensive addition. For our mains I got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, and the lovely K the turkey dinner. Both were excellent, with the meatloaf wrapped by bacon, likely the local Hertel variety which was incredible. Real mashed potatoes and veggies cooked to my perfect taste along with gravy. Easy 5 out of 5, as was K's turkey, also accompanied by mashed potatoes and veggies. The decor is pure sports bar, but the sound on the tv's was down so you could actually talk without the usual noise. The Canucks were in Nashville so we watched the game and enjoyed a very very nice meal. Sadly we couldn't finish it all, and with a travel day tomorrow we had to send it away, what a shame. We will most definitely be back the next time we are in Port Alberni.

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.
