So much fun! Japanese French twist on the menu. Uni tuna tartare toast, black sesame rolls with salted French butter and ikura, uni pasta, salad with toasted walnuts and apples, cassoulet, a croque Madame with a confit egg yolk on top that was amazing and most spectacular of all, an abalone, scallop, snail butter pot pie. So so delicious!! Inventive menu. Really good service also! Great wine and sake list! And across the street, the flamingo bar, pink tropical disco – great for a before or after dinner drink! Go there. You won’t regret it!

My first time here and it was amazing! All the food wasn’t heavy and it was filling but light. The black sesame dinner rolls was very good, the pot pie was shockingly good .. I was thinking it would be heavy and since I don’t like pie I was skeptical why it was popular but it was delicious. The pastry ontop was fluffy. The uni and bluefin tuna toast was good but definitely was expecting to be more The grilled loup de mer was good too just nothing too wow except the yuzu sauce — loved the yuzu sauce. It was recommended by the server. The grilled duck breast was good! I’ve never had duck like this and I liked it!

Camelia offers a creative take on French-Japanese fusion cuisine.

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.

We really enjoyed our dinner date here! We came on the earlier side before it started to get busy. The atmosphere was very welcoming, and the service was great. Peter, our server, gave us some amazing recommendations — and he did not disappoint!

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!

French and Japanese fusion cuisine! Came here for a special occasion and really liked the atmosphere here as it’s intimate and romantic in an elevated French vibe. The service was attentive and friendly as well. I really enjoyed the Tomato and Burrata dish and it’s one of their signatures. The Branzino was really delicious too and cooked perfectly! For dessert, I really enjoyed the Pudding with the crunchy caramel crisp on top.

Came to Camelia for Chase Sapphire’s sponsored dinner and did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was unique and delicious. Even better, Camelia / Chase gifted us two bottles of homemade soy sauce to take home with us (and it’s seriously some of the best soy sauce we ever had).

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!

Our family of 5 reserved the Friday dinner (day after Thanksgiving) on 11/28/2025
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.

I made a reservation and visited this restaurant, which was almost completely empty when we arrived. Despite plenty of open tables in the spacious dining area, we were seated in a poorly decorated spot right next to the restroom hallway — a place where people constantly walked by. It felt disrespectful and uncomfortable.

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?!!!

Overall a really tasty meal with unique dishes. My favourite dish was the Bonny melon with tofu as well as the grilled loup de mer. All the food was very unique and I loved some dishes but not others. Service was excellent, helpful and onto everything but not too much.

A wonderful date night at Camelia. Great vibes, buzzing but with nice staff and hostesses and not the snobby LA situation. The cocktail bar REALLY knows what they’re doing. It took a long time from our reservation to actually get a table and put in our order but luckily the bar staff was fantastic. Our first dish (tuna uni toast) was way too small for the price which I think explains the lower reviews. Everything else was amazing, peak for us was the pot pie, which was in a escargot butter and SO good. I can’t wait to come back.
