Reviews
We visited on Halloween and got to try the special New Orleans style menu.
We started with cocktails and these were definitely one of the high points of the menu. They were well balanced and creatively flavored.
The food was good overall. Some were just ok for example the mushrooms and oysters both had an overpowering tomato sauce. The shrimp étoufée had a great binchotan charcoal flavor but was a little overcooked. Surprisingly the crisp salad was probably my favorite and for dessert the mochi was very memorable.
Service was friendly and efficient.
I’d definitely like to visit again and try the standard menu.
I wish we had more people with us to share dishes because everything we ordered was delicious. Each dish was so delicate, and every detail and ingredient felt so thoughtful. I got the Cobbler for my cocktail and it was pretty refreshing but might be on the sweeter side for someone else’s liking.
We got the Parker House roll, Japanese itoyori sashimi, celebrity tomatoes with burrata, Hokkaido uni pasta, hanger steak, and mochi. I really wanted to try the cotton cheesecake, but we’ll save that for next time. Can’t wait to come back with friends and explore more of the menu!
Stand out dishes include the bolognese and the croque madame. Personally I found the pot-pie to be too heavy and a bit fishy, but I enjoyed the dish still. Cocktails were on point as well – I’ve never had a white negroni before!
Service was attentive but a bit cold, and we were sat very close between two other tables of two. So close together that we were basically sitting with strangers… This was the least enjoyable aspect of our meal.
However, the food makes Camelia worth a return visit!
There are many issues with the service. I hope it can help others avoid the problem with this restaurant.
1. We picked a bottle of red wine and the waitress came with an opened different red wine. She didn’t even ask us if that different wine is ok for us.
2. We were waiting for 55 minutes for them starting serving appetizers
3. Two and half hours later we were still waiting for 2 more entrees. Turned out there was miscommunication with the kitchen and they were going to serve the same entrees to us again. The last straw was when the waitress came to our table and asked us if we were waiting for deserts while we were still waiting for the other two entrees. It seems like there was little communications between the kitchen and service/ waitress.
4. Their food was way over priced for the quality and service that they offered.
Soon after, I noticed that the better tables in the middle area were filled mostly with white guests, while we — the only Asian customers at that time — were left in the worst spot. That’s when I realized we were treated differently because of our race.
It was an extremely unpleasant experience, and I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. For a so-called French-Japanese fusion restaurant, treating Asian customers this way is simply unacceptable.
Could it really be just a coincidence that the tuna we were served was unusually dark in color, and that the texture of the uni placed on top was different?!!!
