"As easy as it is to find enjoyable restaurants of every stripe in New York City, I can remember my parents laboring to find good ones in NJ, where I grew up. Now, having moved back after decades in NY, I have to concede what the owner of our local body shop says--there aren't enough good places. We tried Cafe Chameleon for the first time this weekend, and while the bar was hoppin, the dining room was calm, with two young servers handling five active tables spread out in the large room. There were half a dozen four-tops available, but we were seated next to a table with two couples who at times shrieked with laughter: my wife remarked quietly that, in France where she grew up, the maitre d' would have asked those diners to be more considerate. (It's possible the restaurant was trying to calm the couples by seating us there, as there had also previously been a group of diners at the table they placed us at. The drinks were good, and I imagine a serious wine enthusiast would enjoy the thoughtful list...don't know why the server didn't think to offer it...while the food was merely okay. (The octopus my wife and son shared was nicely prepared; the main courses were all meh. One of the co-owners greeted us warmly during the meal, after the loud couples had gone, and there may be good dinners to be had here, if someone knows what Chameleon does well, but this didn't join our slowly-growing list of till-next-time places."

"I was more than mildly disappointed with my visit. I visited October 13th in the evening. The prices were not awful, and the service was OK, however the food has gone downhill quick. I had the special with a drink, soup, and the cajun chicken pasta. Thesoup I ordered was the chicken enchilada. It was bland, almost completely flavorless which was a disappointment as this soup useto be my favorite out of any restaraunt. The main course wasn't much better. While the pasta was good, and cooked well. Thechicken left much to be desired. It looked like they had tossed the bottom crumbles of a bag of chicken on my plate, the biggestpiece being the size of my fingernail and there was no cajun seasoning either. The sauce was enjoyable, however there wasn'tenough of it, even after stirring I would say almost a fourth of my pasta had no sauce on it. They also didn't bring out ourdrinks for almost 20 minutes, well into our queso and chips (Bland as well. The salsa is more of a soup now than a salsa. Ididn't see a manager once throughout our visit, which was surprising as most Chilis have them out checking on the guests. Asmuch as Chilis has a special place in my heart, I can now see why the parking lot was desserted when others were much bussier.And unfortunately, I will not be returning to this location again in the forseeable future. I reccomend you stay away, there areplenty of better options in the area."
