Camper - Californian restaurant in Menlo Park - 898 Santa Cruz Ave, USA

It was our first time at this restaurant. We had French toast and duck confit (it was duck hash). My son said it was the best French toast he ever had. I agree. The duck confit was good too. Our server was very nice. We chatted about her "brunch philosophy". On our second visit, the French toast was just as amazing, better than my previous favorite French toast at a very nice French restaurant. We also loved the breakfast sandwich and smoke salmon.

Visited here during a business trip. The vibe is great. I had the Waygu burger entree. Not that impressed with the meal. It came out within 3 minutes of ordering, which meant it was already cooked and being kept hot on a burner or under a lamp. Drink was good! Seems like a nice place. Just doesn’t order the burger.

We had a terrific meal and time on a Friday night (8 pm to closing). Sampled a wide range of the menu (including cocktails) and were happy with everything. The place was bustling, but we were able to converse easily. Our server took great care of us and hung out for a bit after we paid our bill.

Food here was super yummy, I absolutely loved the butter that came with the bread. I don’t know what ingredients they use, but it has a tinge of sweetness to it and is honestly amazing. The pasta dishes are also very nicely done, not an overwhelming amount of carbs with the perfect amount of protein and veggie. My only complaint is that the dessert was a tad ambitious, I liked that the chief is willing to experiment, but I wouldn’t recommend the mochi strawberry dessert.

The food was pretty good but while the service was courteous it could be better. About 5 minutes after our main courses had arrived, the server came to ask if everything was ok and if we needed anything else. Except that neither of our appetizers (tuna crudo and pickled vegetables) had arrived. It took a while for them to appear afterwards, so it seemed like they were forgotten all together. When I asked for some black pepper for my rigatoni, I was initially told they don't have black pepper, and was told to substitute with chili flakes instead. That was a bit weird. The main server corrected that afterwards. All the portions were quite small, especially given the price. The best part about the restaurant is the decor and atmosphere. But given the repeated back and forth on the service, I can only give them 3 stars at best.

Dropped in on a Saturday evening after a local event. Sat inside at the bar and treated to some great service by the two bartenders. The food and drinks were excellent. The menu items were creative and something for everyone.

This place was a pleasant little surprise that we bumped into while browsing for new dinner places. It's in a nice locale in Menlo Park and has a good ambience. Service is quick and efficient, and friendly. Food came out quicker and tasted great. The menu is small but fills you up and caters to a wide variety of taste options... the food turned out to be unique as well (eg.,the Burrata was a good surprise and I have never tasted one like that in any other restaurants I have been to). The drinks were great too. I definitely recommend this place for a unique and fairly quick dinner experience.

This place has amazing meat. I'm sure the rest is great, but the meat is to die for! 😁
