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!

It is a small but charming venue, with comforting jazzy standards playing quietly in the background. Had a glass of BC wine and the crab cakes.

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

The clam chowder was solid. The seafood caps were good but very cheesy. It was hard to taste the seafood in the mushroom and it was mostly just cheesy flavour.

It feels like a family business that has been around. We ordered seafood pasta, fried oysters burger, a bucket of mussels, a captain's platter. The portions were super big. I was glad we ordered only 5 dishes and it was more than enough for the 6 of us. I found about 7 unopened mussels from the bucket and I told the server about it. She acknowledged it and went back to the kitchen. They came back with almost another full bucket for us. I told them I wasn't expecting this and it was more than we asked for. They wanted us to have more, It shows that they care and are honest people. The food was great. My husband raved about the pasta and the giant scallops in it. My son loved the fried shrimp and lung cod in his platter, the batter was light and you can taste good quality fish. It was overall a very good experience and much more than what we expected!

Our party ordered cod, red snapper and Ling cod. Every piece was cooked to perfection; meaty and tastey. The fries were hand cut and fried perfectly. They stress fresh oil and wild caught fish is used to prepare the orders. I will definetly be going back to Maggie's because the quality is equal or exceeds Red Fin Blue Fin in Victoria. There are about maybe 10 to 12 tables and counter seating. Not a fancy restuarant because after all, it is a seafood store. Maggie is very friendly and there is a self serve water station. You order at the till and the food is brought to your table. She totally gets a two thumbs up from me.

Maggie came to our table and made sure we were happy, she was great! I love supporting businesses like this, they have a quality product and are passionate about what they do. You won't get a waterfront view but you will get the best fish n chips in town.

Very cute place with great views and seafood…read more We had the chowder, seafood mac and cheese, land and sea platter, and sablefish. The chowder was delicious and I also thoroughly enjoyed the other seafood. The prime rib was okay although I think I would pass on land next time and just get seafood here! Service is very friendly although takes a little time - the vibe is a small town family run restaurant. The interior is very cute and romantic with great waterfront views. The only qualm I had about the interior is that there were a distracting number of fruit flies (I think I had 3-4 that died in a single beer). Hopefully they can install a fly trap or something as it did detract from the lovely interior. Overall I would happily return if I'm in the area for more seafood.

What was most off-putting, however, wasn't even the food. It was watching the chef openly berate our waitress over issues with the food--food that he was ultimately responsible for preparing. Watching a staff member be spoken to that way, especially in front of guests, was incredibly uncomfortable and overshadowed the entire evening. A disappointing meal is one thing, but the way people are treated matters just as much. We left with more than just a bad taste in our mouths, and unfortunately, what should have been a lovely evening became memorable for all the wrong reasons
