Overall we were a bit disappointed and won't rush back. It was extremely loud and hard to hold a conversation. The tables were packed in extremely tight and the tables next to us were a large party that was raging! We asked to be reseated to one of the empty tables but were not accommodated- instead they brought in other parties 5-10 minutes later and filled them while we looked on. They easily could have moved us and put a new party in our spot. When they finally left things quieted down a bit, but in came another large party with obnoxious kids that couldn't stay in their seats. Had there been a bit better table spacing it may not have been so bad.
On to the food. The nachos were terrible- burnt chips, no extra cheese as requested, cold beef in the bottom of the box it is served in. The stack of rings was good, but very greasy. The medium rare burger was well done. The campfire steaks weren't bad and the chicken was small but quite good. Desserts looked good but we didn't partake.
The table spacing and the obnoxious patrons were the biggest turnoff of all for us. Can't recall the last time I was in a restaurant and was surrounded with such clientele.

I think what you found is what Camp is intended to be: like camp.
I'm sorry to hear this report. My daughter and my niece both loved Camp, so we tried to go at least once a year. Their kids (10-18) still like it, but they like, for a contrast, Osterio Poggio (sp?) and Mis en Place. Why don't they want to go for pizza? Not going out much last year (Pandemic) we sort of lost the habit and cook more at home. Much disappointment that on the last few tries, even a few days ahead, we were unable to get reservations at the Lyons Den.
