We came for my birthday dinner as I am vegan and my co-diners are vegetarian. I was dining here first time and my friends had been to the restaurant before. Pros - more vegan options than in other places. We enjoyed the cauliflower, the panisse and the vegan fried rice. Cons - the quantity of food is a joke for the price they charge. I've never had to confirm if what we were being served was a full size dish but we really had to ask at Camper. The server also was missing the mark frequently and said it was a Friday night. He even miscalculated our cheque and divvied it up two ways instead of three (i had to ask where my card was. And he wouldn't reprint the bill with the correct breakdown so my friends refused to sign it)... So, if I'm getting this right, we are paying a lot of money for small quantities of food and bad service? Also, no vegan desserts other than a sorbet that had chunks of ice in it. Ugh. Seriously, do better for your vegan customers. Stop adding eggs to your dumplings, learn to offer a vegan chocolate cake, it isn't hard to do.

The food is always outstanding and the service is generally excellent. Honestly, it is one of the few places I will eat a burger....BUT from now on, I will bring my own ketchup as the house made version is seriously uneatable. I do not know why people try to improve on Heinz as it mostly fails spectacularly. Their salads, pastas, and chicken dishes are always excellent. They also have a great selection of wine and outstanding gin offering. It is absolutely worth a visit.
Be the first to ReplyWe had a lovely dinner here.
The chef is very creative in the use of vegetables and flavorful sauces. Nice selection of wines by the glass, which our server was happy to let me taste before ordering. Highly recommend the cauliflower starter with a mole sauce and the chickpea risotto, which were quite exceptional. The baked cod was a bit salty for our palette (though the sauce was great once again). We needed to order some sourdough bread to cleanse our palate afterwards. They did offer to remake the fish which was thoughtful, but it would have interrupted the flow of our dinner at that stage. The s'mores desert is quite delicious. Thought it was clever how the menu and ambiance (there are b&w photos of camping trips on the walls) incorporate the Camper theme. Our server, Xavier (I believe) was great about explaining each dish that he brought to our table (amazing how many servers at fine dining restaurants forget to do that). We were the last diners there, finishing our meal close to 10pm, which can be late for a weekday meal in the peninsula (!), but we did not feel rushed at all. This made for a satisfying experience overall.
Be the first to ReplyCute spot in downtown Menlo Park.
Came to celebrate my husband's birthday dinner and enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. Wouldn't say it's amazing but it's a nice celebration spot and on a Friday rainy night this place was packed! What we ordered: - Cornbread with green chile honey butter (3/5): - sourdough bread with smoked ricotta dip (2/5): with all the great bakeries in the bay was disappointed with the bread and the dip was a bit too smoky for my taste - herb loaded fries with Catalan ketchup and garlic aioli (3/5): fries were nicely crisped but not loaded with herbs at all. Aioli had great flavor. - charcoal stained spaghetti with dungeoness crab (5/5): the best dish we had! Just the right balance of savory with a hint of sweetness from the crab - Artichoke agnolotti in a brown butter sauce (4/5): the agnolotti was very good but the butter sauce was a bit too heavy making it feel greasy. I think if there was less of the sauce this would've been 5/5 We also ordered a couple of cocktails and they custom made a well balanced drink based on criteria I asked for. For birthday celebrations they'll also give you a free dessert on the house. Overall I'd come back again but would visit for brunch/lunch since they have a nice outdoor patio and try the wagyu burger which a lot of other diners had.
Be the first to Reply* Warm Cast-Iron Buttermilk Cornbread: 5/5.
Light, fluffy inside with perfectly toasted crust. Honey butter is rich and creamy, wonderful combination. * Roasted Beets, DiStefano Burrata: 5/5. Delicious, light, flavorful. * Fried Calrose Rice, Garlic Chive Kimchi, Mushrooms: 4/5. Crispy, flavorful rice that seems inspired by Chinese sticky rice. Slightly salty, but otherwise very good (though expensive for the portions). * Flash-Cooked Flowering Cauliflower: 4/5. Slightly burnt, nothing special in terms of flavors, but good concept. * S'mores: 4/5. Creative interpretation of the classic dessert, fashioned like a chocolate tart topped with a pillowy, toasted marshmallow. Brilliant concept, beautiful presentation. But the marshmallow was too smooth and silky, nearly cream like. The chocolate was too bitter and also lacked the optimal texture. * Charcoal Stained Spaghetti, Dungeness Crab "Fra Diavolo": 3/5. Crab flavor and portions were disappointing. Charocal-stained spaghetti was intriguing and worth trying, but ultimately was not memorable. Compelling concept but missed in execution.

My husband and I have been to Camper several times, and also have taken our adult sons on numerous occasions. Each and every meal were delicious and the atmosphere was always consistently lively!!!! Last week my husband and I along with 2 couples, were hungry and headed over for dinner. We decided to eat family style, so we could sample lots of different dishes. We ordered: warm cornbread, roasted beets with burrata, tender lettuce salad with grapes and radish, gold die mezze rigatoni all day braised pork ragu, charcoal-stained spaghetti with dungeness crab, bread, baked potato agnolotti with trumpet mushrooms, leeks and cheddar, their Wagyu cheeseburger which comes with delicious shoestring fries, creekstone babette "greg steak", and two desserts!!! The service was incredible and our water glasses were topped off often, and our individual cocktails and wines were paired very well! One might think having all the various plates would be overwhelming...yet, it was actually the perfect setup, with our large dining table. We already have another date set for a redo! Special thanks to Chef Marcus who came over to greet and welcome us!
Be the first to ReplyGreat food and ambience.
I was about to make a reservation to return when I remembered the $40 corkage charge.

My friend and I are vegetarian/ vegan and we ordered everything on the menu that was. Good portions to share with another person or 2. Very flavorful and thankfully no impossible burger and fake mea on the menu. Very enjoyable meal. Will definitely be back.
Be the first to ReplyHad a great dinner a few days ago at Camper.
Everything was delicious We had 1. Live Pink Alaskan Scallops, Passion Fruit, Makrut Lime, Olio Verde (The scallops tasted fresh, tangy and savory, really whetting your appetite for the main course) 2. Flashed-Cooked Flowering Cauliflower, Mole Amarillo, Coriander, Morita Chile (The spices brought out a lot of flavor in the cauliflower) 3. Warm Cast-Iron Buttermilk Cornbread, Green Chile - Honey Butter (The cornbread was warm and tasted homey) 4. Baked Potato Agnolotti, Black Trumpet Mushrooms, Leeks, Aged Clothbound Cheddar (Savory, creamy and indescribably delicious. It was absolute perfection) 5/5 5. Charcoal-Stained Pasta, Dungeness Crab "Fra Diavolo," Salsify, Meyer Lemon, Fines Herbs (The pasta was already so savory, with the crab adding that extra one-two punch of seafood flavor) 6. Creekstone Bavette "Greg's Steak", Cabbages, Grilled Artichokes, Black Garlic, New Potatoes (The steak was tender and juicy) 7. Smoky Petaluma Chicken Breast, Winter Squash, Lacopi Heirloom Beans, Green Chile Chimichurri (What a unique smokey taste from the chicken with the vegetables adding a unique twist to the dish) But by far the best thing they have on their menu was the Baked Potato Agnolotti I cannot recommend this enough. You have to try it!
Be the first to ReplyJust want to echo that if you are not white, you will
Just want to echo that if you are not white, you will probably be seated in the less desirable seats at the back of the restaurant with the other "ethnic" people. It is pretty glaringly obvious.
Be the first to ReplyUnfortunately, last night was our last dinner at Camper.
We discovered Camper 6 months ago and loved it but disappointed the last two times we visited. The service was as disappointing as the food, just not worth it anymore. We got there a few minutes early for our 7:30PM reservation, the restaurant quite busy on a Wednesday night, with a dis-interested and no eye-contact host bringing us promply to our table. We had cocktails which were quite good but the experience was downhill from there. 1) The server was not knowledgeable about the menu, and when ask for recommendations between different items, it was "all good, this one is slightly better" without any more details. 2) The food was sub-par. The salad in the appetizer was sizable and well seasoned but so improperly washed that it was too gritty to eat. No questions from the server on whether it was good or why we didn't eat it. 3) The creamy sauce on the agnolotti was probably the saltiest dish I have ever had. Someone dropped a salt shaker on it - quite literally. It was barely edible. There is no way anyone in the kitchen had tasted this sauce that evening. 4) When I ordered a glass of wine (Rhys pinot noir was great to see on the menu by the glass), the server disappeared before we could ask a glass of wine for my wife. Again when he brought me my glass of wine, unable to get one for my wife. Frustrated, we asked for the check, settled and left - again with no question on our satisfaction. It is really unfortunate as some of the dishes were quite good - the Tuna crudo as an appetizer was delicious and my wife's rock cod dish quite good, all of this reminding us how good overall this place USED TO BE. But no more - and my guess is the staff knows it because they do not bother to ask any questions.
Be the first to ReplyI'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.

Habib was our sever and was so professional and helpful. We always have great experience here. Food is unique and soulful. Great ambience. Fantastic service. Love it and will definitely be back. Got to try the Purple Haze. Great cocktails!
Be the first to ReplyGood food.
Good ambience. Good service. Definitely a bit on the pricey side, but was definitely worth it. Their Brussels sprouts were scrumptious. The charcoal stained spaghetti was finger licking good. And the cod was delicious as well. Overall great experience.

I took my sixteen year old son here on one of the rare occasions the wife and little kids were gone. We enjoyed Camper, it's got a pretty eclectic menu and the cocktail choices were solid.We had a crab & ash spaghetti and skirt steak with chimichurri for dinner and they were both great.Only reason I'm not giving this place five stars is that our table was not ready when we arrived for a reserved dinner time, our initial two menu picks were out of stock and their wine list could use improvement.

The bartender is a magician! His drinks are absolutely surperb! Made our meal and experience even that more fab! Loved the service (our waitress was hilarious!), loved the entrees (we shared 4 of them between 4 of us), and then the dessert...spectacular!!! 10 stars! Bravo!
Be the first to ReplyWe 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 saladTrout 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.

Amazing restaurant for a date night! Seemed very popular, and definitely needed a reservation. Ate outside and it was well worth it
Be the first to ReplyEnjoyed the entire experience.
The service was excellent. A mix up caused us to be outside but staff did all they could adjusting heaters. My entree, Greg steak, was perfectly cooked and adjoined with mole sauce. Highly recommend the white bean starter paired with the mezcal tequila drink.

I had an OK time at Camper, although I really did want to like this place more. I cannot comment on their food, as I only got drinks here. I visited Camper when I was new to Menlo Park and was hoping to make this a spot I could frequent. I found the drinks to only be decent; I ordered a basic mixed drink (for a not-so-cheap price) and found it to be quite weak. Further, ambiance is a big part of my experience at a bar, and Camper just felt a little lifeless and lacking character. To each their own, and I understand this is a subjective comment, but it just didn't feel very lively or a place where people know each other and socialize. I lived nearby and was hoping this could be my go-to spot, but alas! It was not meant to be.

I recently hosted a private dinner here at Camper and I couldn't be more impressed. ServiceThe service was truly stellar. From the planning with Lisa to the execution with the onsite staff, everyone was attentive, kind and engaging. We even had some jokes and laughs with our gracious server. FoodThe food was spectacular. Some dishes were head and shoulders above others, but by no means was any dish bad. The STELLAR dishes I hope they NEVER remove from their menu: Yuzu Fried Rice, Chickpea Panisse, Petaluma Half Chicken and Marinated Tri Tip & the Distefano Burrata.OverallI will definitely recommend this to anyone looking to plan a business dinner. While the wine prices are a little outrageous, everything else helps compensate. If your group isn't a big drinking group, 10/10 would recommend Camper.

I love this place because the portions are generous and the food is quality. Kid's menu is "the bomb". Brussels sprouts were sublime. Corn bread perfect. Salad and marinara sauce fresh from the garden!..you will see us back soon. Great energy!
Be the first to ReplyGreat drinks, great location.
Love the smoky flavor that a lot of their dishes come with.
Be the first to ReplyMy second time back at Camper and it was absolutely
My second time back at Camper and it was absolutely delicious !! We ordered a number of dishes - everything was amazing and I definitely left the restaurant extremely satisfied.Kanpachi Crudo - This was a lovely, light way to start out the meal -very bright flavors, the pepper was a nice added kick.Vegan Paneer - This dish blew my mind, I couldn't believe it was vegan! The textures and flavors from the other vegetables meshed so well together, it was definitely a standout dish to me.Spice Crusted Cod - The cod was super tender and crispy on the outside. The sauce was rich and complemented the fish well!Fresh Ricotta Agnolotti - This dish is always a go to when I come here, made with seasonal vegetables - this time, a creamy pea filling. This pasta dish was such a lovely mix of spring flavors, relatively light and overall, just super yummy.I will most definitely be back again soon !
