This is truly a neighborhood gem. Food is always good. The Chilean sea bass has been consistently excellent. Our other favorites are short ribs and lamb chops. Consistency is what sets this place head and shoulders above others. Great cocktails and the bartender is very patient. He gladly remake some cocktail twice when we told him they didn’t taste like what he usually makes. Wait staff Ebo and Fegan are always warm and welcoming and helpful. This is a place to which we return again and again.

So amazing! Perfect extra dirty martini. Absolutely delicious wedge salad, homemade pasta, burger and fries. We ordered dessert too, affogato and cookies and they were the perfect ending to a perfect meal! Will be returning. The restaurant itself was beautiful as well and great service.

We had a great dinner at Camper. We sat outside on a warm evening, so it was perfect and did not have to contend with noise issues. Food, service, ambiance were great.
