    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.

    the crab Benedict was to die for, the fried chicken with side slaw and dilly dipping sauce were super yummy as was the spanish salad...and... I LOVED my milk punch (yay for bourbon!). I would definitely try to come again for brunch ASAP!!

    To all the real ones who know--Camper's brunch is BACK, and I couldn't be happier! This downtown Menlo Park staple is serving up more chances to enjoy their incredible food, and trust me, it's worth it. There isn't a lot of brunch photos for camper online so allow me to feed your eyes with the me documenting our satisfying brunch. Came hungry and majorly craving carbs, so my girl friend and I went all in--Logan's Orange + Currant Scones for her, Challah French toast for me. Her scones? Warm. Flaky--paired with fresh butter that gave such a buttery finish to every bite. She wasn't super hungry, so the "on the side" menu was perfect. Love that they offer that option. Me on the other hand? I was ravenous. LET ME TELL YOU--the Challah French toast was life-changing. A thick, buttery slab of challah, cooked perfectly, ridiculously satisfying to cut and bite into, and topped with macadamia nut butter that added just the right nuttiness and umami. I can't even describe in words how good it was, no words would do it justice, you'd have to try it for yourself. Shoutout to our server and the kitchen for the amazing service and accommodating my request to swap the apples for strawberries. I'm 100% sure those apples would've been amazing, but sadly, my gut does not agree. Thought I'd still be starving, but that French toast was actually the perfect level of satisfying. Took my chicken apple sausages for family to enjoy; I'm already dreaming of my next French toast bite. Service? A+. Ambiance? Perfect for a girly brunch. Plus, downtown Menlo Park has easy parking (a rare win for downtowns) and is just 8 minutes from Palo Alto Shopping Center if you want to make a day of it. TL;DR: Brunch at Camper is back! Please make a reservation on OpenTable and enjoy a nice brunch solo or with someone. Get the French toast. Thank me later.
