   Juliana is the best server. One of the best we have had in LA in all our decades living here. The food is inventive and delicious. Perfect for a special occasion or just a fabulous treat.

   We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation and waited about 25 minutes for our table. They were super busy and we understood they couldn't force people out of their seats (especially saturday night during holiday season). We could have been seated sooner had we been willing to sit outside under heat lamps. We had a long list of items we wanted to try and with guidance from our server chose six plates, and would have been completely satiated with only five... and still a little room for dessert. All the dishes had layers of complexity and flavor. Loved the seasoning on the Dungeness crab with ikura on purple yam blini, but it's all a matter of personal preference since I thought the Kabocha squash with burrata and curry leaf was terrific and my BF liked it but didn't love. I really liked that the server who brought the dishes to our table, described each dish as he placed it in front of us so we didn't have to go back to the menu to remind ourselves of what we ordered. I couldn't wait to try their Soufflé Tart Chocolate, passionfruit, coconut ice and it was perfect, not overly sweet, lots of flavor and an exclamation point to the end of a delicious dinner. Would absolutely go back here again!!

   Yuck!! This place is so pretentious and the food was downright gross. Very rich with overwhelming flavors that just were not good at all. Service was humorless, serious and pretentious. A skip

    Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Camelia. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. As it was a chilly night, we requested an indoor table which became available soon after arrival. We ordered several dishes to share which is their style of service. The server gently implied that we may not have ordered enough. When the first dish arrived we realized that the serving sizes were quite small so we did order another dish. I have to say that iIve seen menus featuring beef from Flannery Farms. It is always expensive. We ordred the NY Strip from Flannery Farms. It was mostly inedible due to a lot of gristle all the way through the steak. We were asked if we wanted to box up the remaining meat but told the server that it was all waste and we were not interested in taking it. Server said they would report that to the chef, which I assume she did but we still paid the $80 for it.
