    What an incredible meal! Everything on the menu was delicious. We have been to Campfire a few times now and our favorite thing to do is to order a lot and split everything. The broccoli is a must try and I love asking the staff what they recommend. This time we split a ton of our favorite apps, the market fish and the pasta. Loved the pasta and fish together! I will definitely be returning to Campfire. Aside from the food; the staff is so friendly, knowledgeable & pleasant.

    This is our favorite place for a great seafood meal. We took a friend for his birthday. I always get the Alaskan halibut….. my husband always enjoys a skewer of divine seafood. Our friend enjoyed the Ono. The hot out of the oven sourdough rolls are delicious. Ambiance is old but hey the food is why we go!
