Delicious food and a great atmosphere! I enjoyed a smoky whisky drink called the campfire ( and yes- it’s really smoky!), the deviled eggs, and a filet. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We’ll be back again, for sure!
Landed here after 9PM looking for top-notch food & drink and got both at the bar. Beef tartare + toast was scrumptious and the Fox Den cocktail invented by Nate (mixed when I asked for something new, something that would match the food) perfectly complemented the plate. Yes, it’s spendy. Worth it.
My husband and I went to Campground for my birthday dinner. The service was great. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. The atmosphere was laid back, which I prefer. The kitchen was open, so you can see the chefs work. I had the rack of lamb, and my husband had the NY strip. Both dishes were outstanding. My lamb had a Parmesan crust that I will be thinking about for years. We both got mashed potatoes as a side, and they were just as good as the main dishes. For dessert we got the s’mores cake to share and on my goodness. I loved it and couldn’t have asked for a better b-day dessert. 10/10 recommend!
Google maps tried to send us down the alley. Front door is on 9th street next to alley. I had rack of lamb and my wife had a rib eye steak. Both were excellent. My lamb was among the best I've ever had.
We went for our ten year anniversary tonight. The food was super delicious and Zach our server was helpful, nice and friendly. Atmosphere is pretty and nice but chill. We will definitely go back for unami butter oysters and the chimichurri butter oysters. Also the candied bacon, and filet mignon. Decent wine selection as well, splendid!
