Situated in a strip center just of of Sawmill Parkway in Powell, the Lazy Chameleon touts itself as the "best seafood and margaritas in Columbus!"
Whereas I did not try the seafood nor the margaritas, I suspect that the claim of having the best in town might be a bit of hyperbole. The Lazy Chameleon is a bar that includes some seafood offerings, the majority of which are on the appetizer menu.
Frankly, I was a little leery about the quality of the seafood and ordered the Cajun Pasta Alfredo ($12.99) and Lori selected the Chopped Salad with Steak ($9.99).
For starters, we ordered the Mucho Nachos ($6.99) which consisted of ground beef, cheddar cheese sauce, salsa, jalapenos, and a scoop of sour cream deposited on a bed of room temperature nacho chips. Not very imaginative, but what one might expect as a pub appetizer.
After collecting our menus, the server returned to our table to ask if it was OK that my entree was served with rice. I thought that a rather off question since I ordered a pasta dish, but she caught me a bit off guard and I didn't question her as I should have.
Well, once the entree was served, it became clear that a mistake had been made. Instead of the Cajun Pasta Alfredo, I was presented with the Southwest Chicken ($10.49). Rather than extending our visit by returning the chicken for what I had actually ordered, I accepted it.
The plate consisted of two grilled chicken breasts topped with shredded cheese, bacon, and salsa on a bed of rice (as promised!). At my request, about 10 onion rings accompanied the chicken. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was on par with a strip center bar.
Lori assured me that her salad was good.
It is unlikely that I will return to the Lazy Chameleon unless it is for the live music. However, I will be sure to keep my culinary expectations low.
