Disappointing. Dining there on the strength of the Times Review (S. Irene Virbila do you have a friend in the kitchen?)Chameau has not found its groove. Service - spotty - bread arrived sans dips, management took our order. Dips (at last)delicious, also salmon and goatcheese sausage apps. Not so the lamb shank with spiced quince and mint cous cous; doused in sauce best described as severely over-salted mole with a lump of stewed quince slapped atop (the only respite from the salt). Limp, blackened strands of mint decorated the cous cous. Saucy monkfish pleased my companion. Disillusioned, we did not stay for much anticipated dessert. No valet; parking is difficult (a Tuesday). Interior design - cute but PLEASE lower the lights and get some candles!! Current ambience is Canters-esque AND its FREEZING; bring sweaters. I wish Chameau the best and hope it can find its way.
Pros: Decor, Small, Location
Cons: , Freezing, Inconsistent Food
