Restaurants near Haystack Mountain School of Crafts

We had a very pleasant experience at Franny’s. The food was cooked to perfection. The ambience was exactly what we were looking for - very cozy. Staff was attentive and polite. We will absolutely be back next time we’re in Camden!

Food , service, and-atmosphere was outstanding plus wine & bourbon selection was top notch!

Siting at the cozy bar, I enjoyed a nice French red to accompany a wonderful beet salad, with a bright Meyer lemon note & then continued w/the house made (so flavorful!) venison sausage. I also indulged in their financier for dessert w/home-made ice cream. A lovely meal w/excellent & friendly service.

We have eaten here several times before. The service and ambience are always excellent. The food is mediocre. The kitchen shoots for the haute cuisine but the execution is amateurish. Besides the pristine oysters which were excellent even though the accoutrements were poor, the kale salad and cod app were blah. The entrees overworked and pretentious. Dessert was passable. I always root for fine dining establishments as they are fading from the food scene, but Natalie’s needs new inspiration in the BOH.

It took a month to get in and it was worth it. I had frequented the pond house when I was young (35 yrs ago) and I had been wanting to get back. It was as good as I remember. Staff got us in earlier than our reservation time, waitstaff were friendly and welcoming and the popovers and jam are the best I’ve had! Definitely worth the visit/experience.
