We had a carafe of ice water and a basket of warm multigrain bread with a mildly spicy tomato dip. Both delicious. We ordered 2 frozen peach Bellinis a beer and a ginger ale. The Bellinis were better Than most places although no one can top Cactus Club! They were a big size so no need for more then one. My husband and my Dad split a platter of spaghetti and meat balls. They both enjoyed them. I tried a bite of a meatball, and I wasn't a fan. It tasted more like breadcrumbs and less like meat. But that's just my opinion. Luckily my Mom and myself ordered the Linguine with prawns. No garlic and mild not spicy. Omg it was delicious! Noodles & prawns were cooked to perfection. The sauce was so flavourful. We split the single order and it was the exact right amount. There must of been 10-12 decent sized prawns. More than expected and much appreciated. We all left very satisfied. The bill came to Under 130$ before tip. Very reasonable!! On our way out we went to visit the goats, which is a fun bonus !

I went here with my family as I haven't had Italian food in quite some time. The food was great but…read morethe service needed some work. Upon arrival it took quite a while to be seated. Living on Vancouver Island I think it's unreasonable to expect 5 star service from rural community's where the hiring pool is limited. The servers were not rude and instead quite nice, it just took a little longer to get things done. This place doesn't deserve 1 or 2 star reviews because of it. The food came out shockingly fast, same with the drinks. They provide a free bread basket as well which was a nice touch. Fettuccine Salmone: This was my first time trying a dish like this, It was very delicious but also very rich. I was very impressed at how generous the kitchen was with the salmon portion, I'm so used to restaurants being overly skimpy on seafood. Getting the platter for $47 is definitely the best value, serves two people with leftovers compared to a single serving for $30. The sauce was a little on the runny side but I didn't mind. Limoncello Spritzer: Nice summery drink, Could've used a bit more limoncello I thought for $13 but as someone who doesn't drink often I'm still gaging what's an appropriate price for different beverages. Atmosphere was nice and they had a good playlist of music.

The supper menu does change at a certain point to a reduced night menu but still good amount of food choices. We decided to build our own charcuterie platter and was the perfect amount for the 3 of us. We all tried non-alcoholic drinks and were also very happy with our choices. Even though my friends & I didn't have any alcoholic beverages, we all commented on the vast options. Parking is plentiful in front & back of the hotel & you can access from either side to reach the cafe. The bathroom is on until hotel side and probably one of the nicest public bathrooms. The cafe is well laid out with varying sizes of tables. We quite enjoyed our Christmas visit & all agreed we'll be back again. Hopefully earlier in the day or for the full supper menu. As skimming online, the menu listed a lot of great options.

All the toppings were piled up in the middle there was nothing near the edges. First and last time I'll ever order from there. So I forgot I had tried this place and ordered two small thin crust.

The Atmosphere is old world beauty so comfortable and relaxing even with all activity and conversations Right from the first bit of our baked oyster to the final bit of the ekmek it was incredible and I don't use that word about food often Even the owner goes from table to table checking in and a free liquor a nice touch Just make a reservation and go experience this wonderful place for your self !!!

They do half baked pizzas to go as well so you can finish up when you get home. We got 2 large pizzas. Can't remember the cost but total came to over $50. Their "regular" pizzas are pricey for what they are. Pepperoni and cheese are priced the same or v similar to something more exotic w truffle oil. There are a few tables inside, pretty no frills and 2 tables outside. I'd go back again for some quality pizza when you are in or around Parksville.

4.5 rounded up Full…read moredisclosure, I had very low expectations. I was filling up with gas when this place caught my eye. The first thing I thought was "gas station pizza". Similar to gas station sushi. Something anyone with a brain interacting with taste buds wouldn't do. I also didn't have internet. The connection was spotty so I couldn't check the reviews. Throwing caution into the wind, I went for it. What a surprise! The pizza was incredible. Apparently their pizzas sometime sell out according to some local reviews. I can certainly see why! So good, I got one to go. A hole in the wall location in the middle of nowhere along the Island Highway, Small spot seating maybe 10 inside along with a picnic table outside for some additional seating. Friendly service. More take away than dine in. This may be one of the best pizzas I've had. See my pics. They don't skimp on the toppings. Bonus: they have a liquor license. Recommended

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!
