Camphor

We visited for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. Getting seated was a breeze. And the service was top notch. They take the time to thoroughly explain the menu and the inspiration behind it. The food is delicious and that should come as no surprise considering their Michelin Star. Perfect, relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. I wore a sport coat but there were plenty of people dressed casually. I liked that. It felt welcoming. An at the end of the night, we received a hand written card for our anniversary. Just a perfect night out.

One of the better 1-michelin rated restaurants we have been to. The price is on the very upper end of michelin-rated spectrum, but overall, we enjoyed our experience alot.

There were some really creative/unique dishes (our fav being the Sea Brim crudo and the beef tartar). The chicken plate and scallop ravioli were very delicate as well and great technique.

I was not a fan of the lentil/lamb dish nor the marzipan dessert. Also the butter on the great bread serving did not go well with it.

The atmosphere and service were good too.
I have a feeling I’d come back here again

The initial attraction to this restaurant was simple. A Michelin star, and there’s a cheeseburger on the menu?!? Sign me up. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was modern, minimal, and comfortable. We were greeted with a delicious amuse bouche of creme fraiche and green onion with some sort of crunchy vessel holding it together. Then we moved onto the baguette, which, while delicious, I would probably pass on my next visit. Then came the onion tartine, which, in my opinion, was the highlight of the meal. Perfectly blistered gruyere cheese over caramelized onions and delicious fresh bread drizzled with a duck fat reduction tableside. Think of it as a perfectly executed inverted French onion soup. Then came the burger. Upon arrival, it was announced as a 50/50 blend of ribeye and duck, smoked gouda, and caramelized onions on an incredible brioche bun. I’ve had a lot of burgers, and none of them even came close to this one. Perfectly cooked, lovely char, and incredible flavor. We ordered the Madeira mushroom risotto as a side dish, and that was delicious as well. Every course was perfectly spaced out, and the wait staff never missed a beat. The overall experience was faultless, and I can’t wait for another special occasion to return.

Our anniversary dinner was perfect with Camphor. Their food was really good – portion wasn’t that big but we enjoyed the taste of it. Their restaurant was pretty and servers were very friendly. They usually have a lot of people and hectic.

It would take too long to describe our experience here. The food is great, the service is great, the ambience is great, the ergonomics of the seating are slightly subpar.

It’s a Michelin-starred restaurant, you probably know what you’re getting into so I would just say go. The food was surprising, wonderful and delicious but the cocktails may have outshone some of the dishes to a degree. Our total bill, with +20% tip came to ~$500.
