    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Camper has completely reimagined the classics--and every bite is a reminder of how exciting and fresh brunch should be. The Smoked Trout Salad was a surprise standout. One bite in, and I felt compelled to take another bite, and another bite... It is a creative play on potato salad with layers of new textures and flavors--bright, savory, and addictive! The Breakfast Steam Buns were another clever twist--fluffy bao filled with savory sausage and egg, with pickled cucumber and mint cutting through beautifully. Balanced, bold, memorable and delicious! The Buttermilk Pancake Double-Stack was cloud-like yet chewy at the same time. Paired with chamomile honey butter, it added just enough floral sweetness. The Shakshuka Verde was fresh and herbaceous, with the tomatillo and green garlic bringing brightness to the warm, comforting base. This is a cold day comfort meal order. And then--the Roasted Apple-Cinnamon Roll. Imagine apple pie and a cinnamon roll had a perfect child. One bite and I was completely blown away. Every dish felt thoughtful and new. Chef Marcus has brought real creativity to the brunch table, and I cannot wait to come back next weekend, and bring all my friends!

    Took my best friend to Camper for her birthday and had a great brunch! Staff was great and food was awesome. Everyone made a point to acknowledge her birthday. It was such a great time. A dinner with family over the holidays was equally a great meal. Camper is my favorite restaurant in menlo park.

    Food and beverages were delicious. We sat outside under the heaters. Very comfortable and much quieter than inside for conversation. Highly recommend.

    The food and cocktails are inventive and delicious, I will return in warmer weather when we can dine outside. The restaurant has all hard surfaces and is very noisy, making having a conversation unpleasant.
