The quality and flavor of the food was excellent. However, the standout was our server, Anthony. He was attentive and kind. I have dairy intolerance and he actually modified part of my order that I did not even realize that it had dairy in it. He is exceptional.

Campfire was AMAZING. Everything about the experience from the hostess stand, bar, and table was great. We immediately made plans to come back. We had the oysters, porridge bread, asparagus, octopus, and steak and we can’t wait to come track and try more!
