Lovely pre-holiday luncheon. Lots of choices on the luncheon and dinner menus. Excellent service. Good wine list, plenty of cocktails/special drinks if wine is not your thing. The "Presto" lunch is an excellent value: starter, main, dessert. Portions appropriate size for lunches.

How can you go wrong in a classic restaurant that has been around for more than 100 years?? You can't. On top of an extensive menu of delicious apps and entrees, there were several specials to pick from as well. Choices, choices, choices!! My wife and I both picked an app from the menu and also entrees from the menu. Lamb Chops to die for and a Veal Parm that was so tender if almost cut with just a fork. Portions were enormous as well. Perfectly prepared. Great selection of wine to go with our dinner. a great holiday dinner with my wife thanks to the crew at Camille's. Thankss

We took Dad to lunch to celebrate his 95th birthday. The restaurant and all the staff went out of their way to make him feel special with welcoming birthday wishes. Our server was excellent and even treated Dad to Baked Alaska dessert, flaming rum and all, to mark the occasion. The food, service, and ambiance was fantastic and it made for a wonderful celebration. Thank you so much!
