Camphor Los Angeles Reviews
What an experience.
The restaurant is intimate and gorgeous, but service was definitely a lot worse than I was expecting (especially given the prices they charge). To start, we ordered the onion tartine - perfectly rich, like a French onion soup on a cheesy toast. The c

We had moderately high expectations especially considering the price point. Food was average. Selling a bread service for $22 which was a third of a baguette with butter (mixed with a soft smelly cheese) and a thimble of honey is ludicrous. Skip the

While a bit pricey, Camphor proved to be an interesting date night and definitely worth trying for foodies. We started with the bread and imported French butter. The bread was good and the butter had a unique cheesy taste. We then tried the French on
Amazing experience.
Being a fan (and somewhat nostalgic) of the Entrecote in Paris, I was a little skeptical at first, but WOW, this was such a good meal. The meat was perfectly cooked and such a great quality, the sauce was "lick--your-plate" perfect as well

Came in to celebrate my dad's birthday and everything was beyond wonderful! We ordered a bit more than half the menu and every single item stood out on its own and was memorable. I normally don't order chicken when eating out but the chicke

Had not been to Camphor for some time, and had been craving the burger since I was there last, so we finally made the decision to go back. Luckily found one reservation available, so grabbed it and headed over. Got to the restaurant and was seated
Welcome to Cam.

My better half decided this is where he wanted to celebrate his birthday, he had heard about this amazing burger they have that is made with ground beef and ground duck. Your best bet for parking if you can't find any street parking- (we drove
One of the better 1-star Michelin options in LA.
Heftier price tag, but well worth it. Service reflects their rating. Everyone was very knowledgeable about the menu! Smaller establishment than expected, with some street parking available and valet. Cute and dimmed lighting. Open space. Bar seating
I didn't eat here.
I made a reservation and they cancelled my reservation less than an hour before the reservation because of a safety issue. I was already in traffic, by time I was notified of the cancellation. When I called back to find out it what was going on, th
I went solo tonight.
They started me off with a gourgere with black pepper and truffle--which was tasty--nothing crazy. Next I got the sea bream with uni and horseradish and shaved apple ice (or something like that). It was very unique and very cool. It was all extrem
Exclusively for steak frites Thursday.
Ambience is great. Wait staff was attentive even though was quite busy. The low review is more so about the pricing. For the amount of money I spent, could have gotten a nicer cut of steak at an actual steak house. Dessert appears to be part of th

The room is nice and the staff attentive and knowledgeable but the food is ridiculously overpriced and nothing special. The biggest ripoff is the $20 bread and butter. We ordered the sourdough and the baguette. The sourdough was nothing special bu

Our anniversary fell on a Monday this year, and a lot of restaurants close on Mondays. Thank goodness for Camphor--we had an amazing celebration meal. There's kinda expensive valet parking, but we managed to find metered street parking nearby.
Sat for SO long before even ordering drinks.
(The whole meal took over 2 hours for a 2 top.) And I had this reservation for over a week. When we went to order, our server had push back on absolutely everything we chose, trying to recommend this or that. I understand they're trained to do s
We came here for a friend's birthday.
The menu didn't look that impressive and was brief in the descriptions. The waiter explained everything in detail though it was clear that it would be too much info to put in a menu. All of the food was incredibly delicious with lots of flavor a
We so looked forward to our dinner.
The place is quite lovely, but loud. I had requested a corner table and was given a table in the middle of the room. The Dover Sole and the Ribeye were great but all the appetizers were overly seasoned and had too much going on (i.e. the sardines wer
This was one of the most disappointing meals I've had.
There are some positives. The space is amazing, the sommelier was great and the premium wine pairing had some interesting picks Unfortunately, the food is forgettable. My wife and I had 4 courses: onion tartine, radicchio, mushroom rice and the chic

The food is amazing! Sea bream, Scallops, Steak and the Kiwi are so good! We went there after playing golf. Very hungry and first time to try this restaurant. Feel like even better than the Michelin star restaurants. Very creative and fresh.

I'm here in Denver visiting my parents and found this place due to my weird lavender obsession (literally googled lavender latte Denver and was amazed to find a whole lavender concept shop). It's sooooo stinking cute, calming, and just lovely! I wish

First time here, and I already want to go back.
The ambiance is welcoming and upscale, but not too upscale that you feel under or over dressed for any type of date night. The staff is well Informed, very attentive, and also very kind. The food was the icing on the cake for this place. Went here fo

Came to Camphor to celebrate my birthday and enjoyed it so much! I made reservations in advance to ensure we could sit at the chef's counter and watch the kitchen. We ordered the tartare, radicchio salad and the burger. Le burger is not just a burger
Sat at the bar/chef's counter.
It was easy to get a last minute reservation. The amuse was a nice little bite. The seam bream appetizer was delicious and my favorite dish of the night for sure. It felt healthy and each bite was balanced and delicious. The burger was very good. Se
I felt this is a highly overrated restaurant.
The food is somewhat unique (at least the way it was described) but far from being great. The service was very, very slow. The waiter oversold the dishes and so when we got to eat them they were a disappointment. Ambiance is OK. Not too different fr
Any modern take on classic dishes was not very good.
Everyone can get away with it . Other dishes where excellent. Desserts excellent. Service was good. Space is nice.

Great dinner, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service! They do have valet, we got street parking but that can be difficult in this area. Drinks: Latin Quarter - my husband thought it was delicious. Like a margarita meets a whisky sour. La

A. Amuse-Bouche (Complimentary) , Tartare "Beef & Herb Tempura" , Scallop "Demi Lune" , Ribeye "Maître D' Butter". Sooo Much Enjoyable.
Excellent French restaurant in DTLA.
Everything was very good, just extremely pricey and could've been slightly better to justify. The best - Scallop pasta Beef tartare with tempura Onion tart Beef bourlogion Just fine (especially with price) The chicken Dover sole The desserts
Camphor is a wonderful spot and after a phenomenal meal
Camphor is a wonderful spot and after a phenomenal meal with friends it definitely earned that Michelin star. They have a fantastic wine list and we ordered a few stellar wines. The space is beautiful and relaxed - not very different from when it was
Loved the decor.
It was clean, streamlined, and chic. I was a bit worried that it might get loud with the pretty high ceiling, but it wasn't too bad. Even the menu was beautiful. We ordered Opera and Le Marais to start, and they were both delicious. We loved the pom
Camphor was a really good experience all around.
Food, ambiance, service & wine were all great! I had a lot of anticipation since it was a Michelin star restaurant. And I really enjoyed myself. My favorite was the French Onion Tartine. Rich & flavorful, it truly has that "French&qu

We had such an amazing dinner at Camphor, and I love the fact that you can choose from an actual menu unlike many fellow Michelin starred restaurants that employ a fixed/tasting menu. The food was just absolutely amazing, and the service was prompt,
Awesome restaurant.
Very cool space. Nice and bright. The onion tartin is a must order....as is the bread. The baguette comes with bordier butter that they mix with a funky cheese and its just amazing. Tartare is good but I don't think its a must - nice change of pace t
To be honest I was disappointed with my experience.
We arrived at 5:30pm and left at 7:38pm because of the food being delayed. The food was served quick the first 20mins, then it took 30mins for the onion tartine to be served. Another 30mins after the onion tartine for the scallop to be served and 1
Outstanding dinner tonight at Camphor.
Onion and Gruyère Tartine, Steak aux poivre, creamed spinach, and pomme frites were excellent. Chocolate Hazelnut creation plus a bonus bread pudding ended the meal perfectly. Service and atmosphere were first rate. Highly recommend!

While the food was mostly very good, the service was not.
The dinner was rushed, the salad course arriving simultaneously with the main course, despite my request to not overlap. If you must go, try the lentils.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Camphor Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Camphor Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Camphor Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Camphor Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Camphor Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
