Stayed at the Ibis round the corner, and this was the closest place open on a sunday night. Food was good overall. Starters were tiny and overpriced for what we got. However, the mains were very good, well cooked and tasty. Wine list reasonable. More

We'd go once every other week or so for dinners... and once a month or so for weekend brunch buffet. We were always satisfied, no matter the time of... More

Surcharge is not mentioned on the menu nor on the signage when you enter the restaurant, not a big deal in $ terms just one of those things that is irritating on... More

My partner and I dined in Chameleon for his 40th birthday. My partner is a very large eater so as always I was hoping the meal would be big enough to fill him up. The service was fantastic, we had an amazing waiter who doted on us the entire night, our glasses were never empty and his conversation was great!... More
