Wow the food tastes extremely fresh, most notably all the veggies in their appetizers. My favorite dish was the half cooked asparagus appetizer served with burrata and pine nuts, such a beautiful bite that came together. Service was quick and we were able to make a reservation. Also a cute theme and aesthetic that I haven't seen before, would recommend this for a nice dinner out
Really enjoyed my recent work dinner here at this restaurant that has American/Californian cuisine. The ambiance was cute and cozy and the service was fast. I had to adjust the party size and timing and there were very accommodating. We started with the olives, cornbread and brussel sprouts with the crispy Brussels being the highlight as they were seasoned very well. For my main dish- I had the pork ragu pasta which I enjoyed. Note that the Bolognese sauce was a bit on the creamier side. I'll definitely be back!
Camper is an incredible spot to grab a bite. The food that they serve is both comforting and exciting. Unique flavor combinations, but prepared in a way that feels like a family's home cooked meal. I came here to celebrate a special occasion with work colleagues, so I got to try a lot of different food, and I have to say, almost everything was fantastic. The only dishes I wasn't fond of were more geared towards vegetarians. Either way, I'd highly recommend this place if you want to have something a bit more elevated for a special occasion.
Camper is a charming and cozy restaurant situated at the corner of a street in downtown Menlo Park. My friend booked a table through OpenTable to celebrate a friend's birthday with brunch/lunch at 12PM on a Saturday. Upon arrival, the restaurant wasn't too busy -- about 40% capacity. We waited about a minute as the host had stepped away before we were seated. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive! My friend and I ordered quite a few plates to share and try out their menu. We definitely had leftovers. APP * Warm Sourdough (3) with Cultured Butter + Housemade Jam The appetizer was okay. I appreciate the butter and jam; however, the sourdough toast was pretty hard and difficult to chew. Perhaps not as fresh a loaf? MAINS * Challah Bread French Toast: Roasted Blueberries, Vanilla Custard, Macadamia Nut Butter, N * Camper Fried Chicken Sandwich: Saffron Aioli, Romesco, Manchego, Cabbage Slaw, French Fries with Catalan Ketchup + Garlic Aioli * Smoked Trout Salad: Sauce Gribiche, New Potatoes, Bacon, Broccolini, Herb Salad, GF * Shakshuka Verde: Tomatillo, Green Garlic, Artichoke, Cilantro, Feta, Poached Eggs, Sourdough Let's start with the two stars of the meal, the French toast and smoked trout salad! Both were balanced and delicious! However, the Camper Fried Chicken Sandwich fell a little short, mainly due to the overabundance of slaw and sauces. Unfortunately, it left the fried chicken less crispy and enjoyable. The fried chicken was bland, but being from Georgia makes it hard to meet my expectations for good fried chicken. I think reducing the amount of slaw within the sandwich will do the trick. The saffron aioli sounds good, but I don't taste any saffron. It's a delicate ingredient and can be overpowering, but in this case, it was absent. Lastly, the Shakshuka Verde was beautifully plated, and the flavors were enjoyable. However, my opinion may be influenced by my dislike of artichoke. My friend wanted to order this dish but was disappointed. The sauce was very loose and watery, and it should have been a bit thicker for easier bread dipping. The poached eggs broke as soon as they arrived on the plate. With some fine-tuning, I believe it could be a fantastic dish--plus, it definitely needs more feta! DESSERT * Caramelized Milk Jam Pudding GF, N: Candied Pecans, Dulce de Leche, Whipped Chantilly It was a great way to complete our experience! The pudding was delicious. The staff brought out this dessert with a candle for my friend's birthday. It was very kind of them. Since I was only there, I invited the staff member who brought it out to join in singing the birthday song. She did! It was a very thoughtful gesture.
I was pleasantly surprised by Campers. The space feels contemporary and vibrant without being pretentious, and the service was friendly. They also have a large private dining room in the back that can be rented for events. The menu appears to change seasonally. I visited in late August. We tried a fish crudo, salad with seafood, a pasta dish, and a pudding dessert. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned and delicious. The dishes felt creative yet balanced, and the portions were generous. I later returned for brunch, which wasn't as busy as dinner (perhaps it hasn't been widely discovered yet and part of me wanted to gatekeep). We ordered the Shakshuka Verde and the House Benedict, both of which were fresh and delicious.
Food 3.5/5, Service 4.5/5, Ambiance 5/5. I came here for a work dinner where we shared several dishes family style (the prawns, chicken, agnelotti, halibut, and ravioli) and had several sides including grits, corn bread, and sourdough. I really enjoyed the cornbread and the cheesy grits. Not sure that I would come back to order a single meal, but It was nice to try several different dishes at once and great for a large group where everyone was willing to share. My favorite dish was the agnolotti pasta by far, though the chicken was substantial and a hearty meal to share among two or more people. The menu itself is super eclectic, Californian American with Italian and Asian influences (for example one dish came with bok choy). I was not a fan of the halibut and it tasted surprisingly fishy but that may have been because of how it was seasoned. We also got the apple crisp and milk jar pudding for dessert - I preferred the crisp. We had excellent service for a large party of 6 or 7 people. The dishes are $30-40 a plate so it pays to come as a group and get the full palate experience.
Camper has an automatic 20% gratuity added onto your bill. Now our server was kind enough to let us know when the bill came out, but tips should be based on service and not based on whether or not you just decide to just dine somewhere. Management if you are reading this, either pay your workers a fair and livable wage or find other ways to make up for this 20% elsewhere on your menu. Now lets talk about why this is a further issue. It may had been an off night, they may had been understaffed--who knows. What we did know was our server only came twice to check in on us, once at the beginning when we ordered and at the end when we paid the bill. Strangely she also told the busser to remove our plates right when our sourdough came out. The bussers came back and apologized for the miscommunication and eventually brought the plates back but this un smooth service was why 20% is a steep price to pay just to dine here on top of the cost of the food. Speaking of food let's talk about portions for the price. I personally ordered the Crab Spaghetti and my girlfriend ordered the Corn Agnolotti. The saving grace for this review however is the food was actually delicious. Flavors were all there and unique enough that we may consider coming back if we were in the area. But man for $36-37 an entree we definitely would have to realllly reconsider it because I didn't even get a full crab leg worth of meat in my spaghetti. It was literally probably shreds to a single joint on a crab leg. For that price we literally finished our meal in six bites. I could definitely had used more food and left feeling unsatisfied because of it. We definitely would've paid for another entree but with how the night went on with our first impression, we definitely had to say no. So overall, be prepared for an expensive meal if you choose to dine here, but would Camper be on my list of future visits or recommendations? Probably not.
Overall, Camper is a really cute spot in Menlo Park's downtown-ish area. It boasts a Michelin star and its best to get a reservation. Very classy place, and the atmosphere is somewhat professional. The seats are very nice, feels like a couch. I loved the food! Everything was cooked perfectly, and I really enjoyed the grits in my chicken dish. I wouldn't say any dish was particularly outstanding, but it's an overall solid spot
I love Camper! We eat here several times a year, and it is always an excellent experience. My husband and I are pescatarians and we don't eat meat. At Camper for our entrees, he typically orders the halibut, and I typically order the fresh house-made spaghetti with crab. The cocktails are inventive and well-balanced. Tonight we had: Yuzu Rye-Ball (Rittenhouse Rye, Yume liquor, Akashi yume Japanes whiskey, mint, lemon, and yuzu hop water) And Smoky Monty (mezcal, Amaro Montenegro, brucato chaparral amaro, mole spices) Both cocktails were well-balanced and flavorful. Then we had: Warm sourdough bread with savory cashew dip (5 stars!) Little lettuce with persimmon, sunflower seeds, and white balsamic vinaigrette (5 stars!) Camper spaghetti with Dungeness crab (5 stars!) Roasted Pacific Halibut with black garbanzos (4.5 stars) Fossilized honey nut squash side (a million stars!!!) Smoky mix of wild mushrooms with egg yolk jam (6 stars) For Dessert: Pink lady apple crisp with oatmeal crispy and vanilla ice cream Carajillo coffee cocktail Midnight raider mezcal espresso martini. must-try! It's so enjoyable to sit outdoors under the twinkly lights with the heaters. Also, cozy to sit indoors. The people who work here are really nice. The bartenders, host/hostesses and servers are all pros and good people. Highly recommend this spot.
Mark, Hiro and the staff were amazing in accommodating the large group, I did not hear a single complaint and ever found a dish that they enjoyed. I sat separate from the team at the bar and feel horrible I forgot the lady bartender's name but she kept me company and the pictures attached were what I opted for my meal. I lived the heirloom tomato salad with the baby mustard greens!! the deviled eggs were tasty too.
Great dinner spot in Menlo Park! Seems very popular so it is good to have a reservation. Grateful that they had a fun, substantial vegan option with the chickpea panisse. They reminded me of gnocchi. Great flavors and you can tell the chef is thoughtful about the menu with creative options. And good pickles are always a plus for me!
Pretty modern space with a varied menu. Service was attentive and quick to add a glass of wine midway through my meal. We started with delicious Manhattans on the rock with perfect cherries. Fresh warm bread with cashew butter, an interesting alternative to butter. The salad was a huge portion but fresh with a nice light sesame dressing. The agnolotti with squash was tasty and the halibut was a generous piece well cooked. Overall a nice dinner in MP. We were in the area for a meeting but plan on coming back, the burger and fries were popular and looked great.
You know the kind of restaurants that feel warm and inviting, a comforting places you want to share with friends and family? This is not one of them. The atmosphere felt very cold and stiff. I went with a large party, and three of us ordered the same rigatoni; the pasta was inconsistent, with some plates overcooked and others undercooked. Overall, everything felt disingenuous, almost more decorative than edible, especially in the way the dishes were presented. That said, the wine list is excellent. I would not return.

Brunch at Camper is splendid! I highly recommend the campfire milkpunch, if you like a strong but satisfying brunch cocktail. Additionally Camper has the most crazy amazing pancakes, like little lemon clouds of deliciousness melting In your mouth! You gotta try 'em! read more
I've heard of Camper from numerous friends and was so happy when one of my good friends suggested we go there for my birthday dinner. It definitely exceeded my expectations - the food was delicious, the drinks on par and the ambiance was lovely. I gave it 4 stars. Sadly it fell short one star on the service. It took FOREVER to get our drinks, and the server even completely forgot my friends drink. So I was sitting there waiting patiently for her drink for a long time. It finally did come and he apologized but still, that left an impression. The food: For an appetizer we got a burrata dish and the chick pea croquettes. The Burrata was tasty with fresh veggies. The croquettes were OK. A little too small for my taste. Now the star of the night was the bucatini. I read the reviews raving this dish and my, were they RIGHT! The sauce was to die for, the noodles fresh and paired so nicely together. The duck pasta was also very tasty and filling. I would 100% recommend those dishes. For dessert we got the panacotta which was really good! I loved how it came out as a big portion and can be shared with two people. The ambiance is really pretty. There's plenty of outdoor tables, where you can quietly sit and talk and it's tucked away from the bustle and bustle of the Main Street. Overall I totally recommend coming here just for the delicious food, especially the main dishes! I would just be prepared to have the service be not that great. But it's totally still worth the trip. read more

To all the real ones who know--Camper's brunch is BACK, and I couldn't be happier! This downtown Menlo Park staple is serving up more chances to enjoy their incredible food, and trust me, it's worth it. There isn't a lot of brunch photos for camper online so allow me to feed your eyes with the me documenting our satisfying brunch. Came hungry and majorly craving carbs, so my girl friend and I went all in--Logan's Orange + Currant Scones for her, Challah French toast for me. Her scones? Warm. Flaky--paired with fresh butter that gave such a buttery finish to every bite. She wasn't super hungry, so the "on the side" menu was perfect. Love that they offer that option. Me on the other hand? I was ravenous. LET ME TELL YOU--the Challah French toast was life-changing. A thick, buttery slab of challah, cooked perfectly, ridiculously satisfying to cut and bite into, and topped with macadamia nut butter that added just the right nuttiness and umami. I can't even describe in words how good it was, no words would do it justice, you'd have to try it for yourself. Shoutout to our server and the kitchen for the amazing service and accommodating my request to swap the apples for strawberries. I'm 100% sure those apples would've been amazing, but sadly, my gut does not agree. Thought I'd still be starving, but that French toast was actually the perfect level of satisfying. Took my chicken apple sausages for family to enjoy; I'm already dreaming of my next French toast bite. Service? A+. Ambiance? Perfect for a girly brunch. Plus, downtown Menlo Park has easy parking (a rare win for downtowns) and is just 8 minutes from Palo Alto Shopping Center if you want to make a day of it. TL;DR: Brunch at Camper is back! Please make a reservation on OpenTable and enjoy a nice brunch solo or with someone. Their hours aren't updated online-- but know that brunch is back. Get the French toast. Thank me later. read more

Absolutely amazing experience at Camper! We came for dinner on Saturday and really liked the inspired outdoor aesthetic, with blankets and warm wood tones. The layout is well thought out, with a large patio to the left, the bar on the right, and the main dining area extending toward a banquet room in the back. There were two of us, and we tried several cocktails because their specialty drink menu was so interesting. The best drink by far was the Jardin D'Hiver--Thai citrus-infused tequila, St. Germain, and (I think) Aperol. It was so good, easily the best drink we've had in a long time. We also tried the bartender's special, Straw Man, which was fine but didn't stand out enough to be a featured drink. The Peas Maker was fresh and herbal, and the Basilisk (vodka with matcha) had a nice color but wasn't for us--the matcha didn't add much. We should have gone for the spicy margarita, which looked great, as did most of the drinks. Loved how creative their flavors were. With dessert, we had the mezcal espresso martini (Midnight Raider), which was good. For food, we started with the Kanpachi Crudo, which was beautifully plated with apple and celery. The celery flavor stood out the most, and while it was very good, it needed a bit more salt. The warm sourdough bread was amazing, but we didn't care for the hummus it came with--it was supposed to have garlic but tasted bland to us (we're salt and butter lovers, though). Even the bread presentation was great, served as a mini loaf on a nice board. The twice-cooked carrots left us torn--it tasted good, but the dish was mostly chickpeas with just two small carrots on top. We had expected more of a veggie-forward dish. The English pea agnolotti, however, was everything--I'm obsessed. We seriously considered ordering it again but opted for dessert instead. Dessert was the only slight letdown. The menu had four options--pudding, a play on s'mores, a tart, and sorbets (some of which were already out at 5 PM on a Saturday). We chose the tart, which came in a skillet with a nice crust. Lattes were excellent, and I loved the glassware and mugs. The whole aesthetic of the restaurant is really well done. Service was great--our server was friendly, as was the server assistant and the hosts. Everyone made us feel welcome and taken care of. read more
Good food and drink, portions not as great on value but it's to be expected as it's Menlo Park. Bartender Alexis was lovely! Been here before for a work larger group dinner outside in the summer which was a great experience as well. read more
I am blown away. The crab spaghetti was very pleasant, with a light tomato sauce, fried garlic, and squash. It was perfection. The flavors of the corn agnolotti transcended anything my taste buds have ever experienced, and the textures were unparalleled. Milk jam pudding was also divine!!! read more
Food was enjoyable, cauliflower was a standout dish for me along with the the squid ink pasta. Service was great Alejandra really helped us out on what to order and for that 5 stars! So many times a wait or will tell you things that are okay or just the most popular, but brutal honesty on what to order is what separates a good form a a great dining experience along with other factors. Ambiance is nice and on point for the price point and location of the eatery. read more

Came to check out this cute little spot in downtown Menlo Park. I like the ambiance, we sat outside on the patio with heaters. I didn't know what to expect coming here, as we were just walking around and picked out this spot. The burrata with prosciutto app and ricotta with sourdough bread were delicious. We love some good cheeses! I also had the rigatoni and it tasted pretty good but it was a little dry for me, I needed more sauce/ragu. The parm on top was a little dry as well but meat sauce did taste good. My friend got the wagyu burger, which he said was pretty good and it was giant! We thought it would've been on the smaller size but did not disappoint a hungry fella. Overall, service was good, very nice and attentive. If you live in the area, looks like a cute little date spot to check out. read more

We came here on a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was quite busy for a weeknight. They have a large outdoor patio for when the weather is nice. The food we ordered was fine though we felt the taste and quality didn't match the price even compared to other places in the area. However, our largest concern was the pace of service. We had a very difficult time getting ahold of our server throughout the meal and waited over 15 minutes trying to get their attention to pay our bill. read more
I'll try to keep this brief... Camper is really cute; it's in a great location on the corner of Santa Cruz Ave, and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. The holidays brought in a few large parties, so it was very busy. The staff is amazing - super friendly and very attentive, even with how busy it was. The food was so, so good. I thoroughly enjoyed the cod dish I ordered; the mix of flavors was perfect. I cleaned my plate, eating every last lentil! It was a bit pricey, but I recommend visiting even if it's just once. You'll find a reason to go back, guaranteed. read more

Came at opening at 5pm. Cornbread: nice flavors and would order again Eggplant moussaka: nice flavors but way too oily. Coachella valley corn agnolotti: pasta was well cooked and enjoyed the sweetness from the corn Gold die mezzo rigatoni: Flavor profiles were a bit one note. A good option for those looking for a heartier option. Wagyu cheeseburger : Bun was nice, but didn't taste too special. Service was below average. Our server didn't seem too interested and dishes took awhile to come out. Overall, food was fine, but a bit too pricey for me to recommend when you include an additional 25%+ on top for tip and the included service charge (6%). read more

We sat outdoors for dinner and they had plenty of heaters to keep us warm. The service was nice as well, our waiter was kind. Corn agnolotti pasta- sooo good!! Very creamy and I love the corn with this. Sad that it's a seasonal dish, so get it while it's there! You really don't get much pasta though, and for the price I was expecting to get more. American wagyu cheeseburger- very flavorful, cooked well, overall a good burger S'mores dessert- didn't taste too much like s'mores but was still good. Surprisingly I found this too sweet and I have a sweet tooth! read more

This place is like your mama won master chef. SO cozy, so classy. The food was impeccable.. we had a last minute reservation for 4 and got a wonderfully intimate table inside to celebrate my wedding weekend. We each ordered a dish with an intention to share and all 4 of us were absolutely in love with our choices. The range of dynamic flavors and clearly fresh ingredients made for such an elevated experience, while also feeling like the most comforting home cooked meal. The beans in the prawns!! The dynamic and vegetarian entree worthy carrots!! The divine halibut with sunchokes!! The chili butter on the cornbread!! Phenomenal. Oysters with kumquats?? Muah. This is the kind of place that enhances the best qualities in food and makes you want to tell everyone. The service was so attentive and perfectly timed and made us feel so celebrated. Can't recommend enough. read more

My coworker and I came here after working in the office on Monday. And I was blown away with the food. I always love pasta and Italian food in general but this place I went home and kept on talking about it to my partner. When we arrived we thought that we would sit outside, but my allergies were so bad that sitting under the tree would've been uncomfortable. The waiter completely understand how we felt and sat us inside happily, we were so grateful for the good service! I really loved the homemade pasta, I ordered the homemade pappardelle with morel mushrooms which I know are in season right now and it was so good. My coworker ordered the sweet pea agnolotti and it was phenomenal as well with the lemon citrus flavor! We even finished with the s'mores dessert, and we were both super surprised that we weren't like too full that our stomach hurt. Which I love because it shows how perfect the portions were on top of the deliciousness! I am definitely coming back and will be bringing my partner and friends over. An extra side note I got a couple cocktails and it was super yummy and strong to give ya a good buzz. Definitely going to come back here! read more

A classic that we continue to return to. Dates nights, gatherings, solo. Good food and good ambiance. We've been here a few times - on its off days, it's still good. On it's on days, it's great. I'd recommend their rigatoni. I've had the apple crisp dessert twice - once it was amazing and once (on a busy night) it was bad. The s'mores are consistent and a must try for any first timers. I'M A HAPPY CAMPER! read more

Made reservations for 6:15pm on a Friday evening. Loved the ambiance! It was pretty fancy and serene, with medium noise level. Reminded me of a hotel lobby. My party of 4 shared the warm buttermilk cornbread, charred Zuckerman's asparagus, handcut pappardelle, wagyu cheeseburger, and "Greg's Steak." Food came quickly with good timing! Loved the cornbread and would highly recommend it! It came with green chile+honey butter dip which was a great touch. Asparagus with burrata was pretty good but pretty small portion. Handcut pappardelle was fresh, but it's on the heavier/creamier side, which may be hit-or-miss for some. Greg's Steak was delicious and cooked beautifully. Wagyu cheeseburger was also delicious! The meat was cooked very well at a medium rare. Overall, all of the dishes were pretty solid and the service was fantastic! read more
My coworker found this nice little place for an after work dinner. The elevated menu definitely is a draw to enjoy a dinner that isn't formal but also not super casual, the interior decor is refined but not stuffy and the menu also speaks to that with each dish executed very well. For our meal we split the cornbread which came recommended. The cornbread has a delicious crust along with the accompanying butter. I can see why this was a crowd favorite as it's perfect for sharing and a great way to start the meal. I opted for the steak dish cooked medium rare. The combination of perfectly cooked steak, vegetables and mole were a delight. A lot of complex flavors are established from the mole and you'll find yourself wanting to dip your steak in the sauce for more and more. My coworker ordered the cheeseburger with fries also cooked medium rare and felt it was a solid burger option, essentially a quitensential burger should look and taste like. The service was spot on with the team being attentive and highlighting recommendations and ensuring the food came out at a nice leisurely pace. The dining room got fairly busy, but we still felt the team did a great job checking in on us throughout our meal without feeling overbearing. Overall camper is a nice place to visit, I feel you get a nice dining experience at the price point and would recommend checking it out. read more

Came here for a company dinner and Camper did not disappoint! I started off with the fresh half dozen oysters which already had a light mignonette applied long with minced garlic. I also appreciated the "sleeve" that they had over the lemon which allowed you to extract the juices without any of the seeds falling into your food - genius! The oysters themselves were fresh, slightly sweet, and bursting with juice, accented by the tart lemons. For the entree, I decided to go with the charcoal stained spaghetti and Dungeness crab fra diavolo. The pasta was cooked al dente, just how I like it and you could easily tell that this was made in-house. They also don't skimp on the crab here and you will likely get one in every bite. My only complaint with this dish was that I wish the sauce was just a tad thicker so the noodles could better pick it up - was so hard to resist not picking the plate up and slurping all the broth down! Finally, I ended the meal with their olive oil mochi cake. This comes served on a cast iron pan topped with fresh fruit to help cut the fattiness, easily shareable! I'm always a fan of the chewy mochi texture and this cake definitely scratches that itch, it's also not too sweet so you don't feel guilty when you inevitably finish the whole cake yourself. The vibe at Camper is definitely a more intimate/fancy setting so come here for your special occasions! read more

Camper is our favorite restaurant! I just hosted a bridal brunch in their private back room and it was a wonderful day! Logan was so nice to work with on the planning and chef Marcus outdid himself with the food. Everyone raved about the biscuits with honey butter and jam, delicious fruit salad, the green salad and the choice of entrees. Service was also impeccable and attentive. I can't recommend Camper enough, whether it's for dinner out, weekend brunch or hosting a private event! It is THE BEST! read more
We celebrated my friend's birthday at Camper last week. Made reservations and arrived a little before. There is plenty of parking in the lot in the back. The 4 of us ordered: Burrata: 5/5 good tasty salad Trout rillettes: 4/5 fish rillettes was good but the chips were super salty. Would have been better if they served it with pita chips. Tagliolini lamb: I had a taste of this and I don't like lamb so I did not really like this one. Could taste lamb throughout the pasta. Chickpea Panisse: 5/5 this was the best dish aside from the dessert. Very flavorful. Charcoal crab spaghetti: 4/5 this was the second best entree. Not as tasty as the panisse. Rock Cod: 3/5 this was just ok, cod was nothing special. S'mores: 5/5 smooth creamy chocolate filling. Really really yummy. They added extra s'mores since we were a bigger party. Good service, nice ambiance, and good food. This seems to be a popular spot for group dinners. read more

Came here recently for hubby's bday. Five stars for service - minus the host who was not very warm when we arrived - but everyone else was lovely, from helping my son into his high chair, then cutting the burger without us asking and putting it on two plates (although I can see how some people may be annoyed by this, but we share all dishes, so it was nice), and overall very warm and friendly waiters. Had to take off some points for the food. We started off with the cornbread, which was pretty good especially with the garlic butter, but could have benefited from a touch more sweetness in the corn bread. Then we got our drinks - I had the Honeysuckle and hubby had the bourbon drink. Drinks were pretty tasty, but lacked presentation - I think they forgot straws too. We shared the pasta Bolognese and a burger. Burger and fries were pretty good but standard - I really liked the aioli that the fries came with, and also had two different ketchups! The pasta was decent, but hubby said it was not very flavorful. I guess for a restaurant of this caliber, we were expecting more robust and unique flavors. Skipped dessert since we had too much sweets at home. read more

I celebrated a special occasion at Camper, and opted for outdoor dining on their patio. It was pretty quiet on a weekend morning and their patio was quite spacious and nice compared to other outdoor dining setups I've been to. They serve a limited brunch menu and it changes from time to time, so we opted for a breakfast sandwich, sopes, and a side of french fries. The sopes were well executed and I really enjoyed the corn salsa combined with eggs and avocado, and the sope was still crispy and not too soggy. The breakfast sandwich was good as well, very classic combination with bacon, egg, and cheese. The brioche bun was very soft and spongy, probably one of the best brioche buns I've had. While the flavors are classic, I do wish that there was a bit more aioli, or something in there to balance out the heaviness. The french fries are thin shoestring fries, and were very crispy. I really enjoyed the tangy housemade ketchup and garlic aioli that went with it. Overall, I would recommend coming here for a peaceful weekend brunch, and would probably rate this between 4-4.5 stars. The prices are on the higher end but the food quality is good. read more
