Camden Spit & Larder

Fine dining in Sac?? Wow this city really has everything. This place is easily a 10/10, no question. Everything is exceptional.The service was amazing, everyone on the staff was so friendly and attentive. We never went more than 5 mins without someone coming by to check on us. The food was incredible. The chef is overflowing with talent. Each dish we had wasn't just "fish" or "pork", they all had a creative and unique take on a classic. Dining here was an inspiration. Your next special occasion has to be here.

Great place to get a bite to eat...Well...this one is a draft I sat on for way too long. For some reason I never got around to finishing it and putting it out. So, now almost all of it is from a memorable meal before watching Kiss at Golden One Arena. I'm not sure if the menu changed or if these dishes are still available. I'm also certain everything will probably be a lot more expensive now...that food inflation is no joke. Brilliant ambiance, affordable prices with quality food and top notch service. If this place was in the City (SF...for all my non Bay Area peps) it would easily be twice as expensive. ~ Organic Roast Half Chicken - 5/5That presentation tho...Perfectly cooked Half Chicken; tender, juicy and moist. The Creamy Potatoes were delish as well. ~ Double Cut Rack of Pork - 4/5Tender, juicy and moist Pork with a tasty sauce. I think it was on the sweeter side from what I remember. I reckon its probably still a great place to come get a bit to eat.

I'm very critical about restaurant given my many years working in them, Camden Spit & Larder was a 10/10. I'll start with the staff. I booked an online resy couple weeks ago for this past Wednesday night. It was noted for a birthday. On Monday prior to, I was contacted by the host to confirm. The host offered to write "Happy Birthday (Name)" on the menu. This was a very nice gesture, which they did follow through with, we arrived and the table was already set with the custom printed menus. Also, the host ran through the deserts on the phone and I pre-ordered 3 of them, asking if they can place candles on 2 of them. Which they did and during the dinner the waitress was very accommodating and following my instructions on timing to bring them out. It was excellent communication from her. Our waitress was very kind, informative and continued to ensure we were satisfied. Along with other staff who dropped items off at the table. Management as well, very accommodating for everything we ask, no hesitation to make things happen, including charging a cell phone. There were a couple larger parties around same time and the waitress notified us with a recommendation to place the order sooner than later so that way we would not get caught amongst the big order and would be waiting for our food. This was a good call. Staff was properly marking the table and clearing items. Drinks were solid, I had a few spicy margs. Food was all great, good flavors and decent portions. We had Tuna Tartar, Caesar, beets salad and oysters for starters. Followed by the Sea Bass special, steak and pasta. All were very good. The steak was ordered medium but came out on the rare side. We asked if Chef can re-fire, they had no hesistation to do and they also re-plated the dish as if it were new. This is what I expect in a place like this and they certainly delivered. The place is very clean, ambiance is nice, spacious, the bar looked legit. Was impressed to see a large kitchen line. Can always tell how efficient a restaurant is by the size of the line and food window. My only suggestion to the business would be to use smaller platers for the smaller square 4 seaters. It was very tight when we had 3-4 dishes on the table. A lot of the plates were much larger than what was actually plated. If you're in Sacramento, I highly suggest this place. Spent about $500 for 4 of us but it was worth it. I have no problem paying a high ticket when the service and food is great. Management: Think about expanding into San Jose. It would do very well.

One of my family's go to spot. The service is the best, the ambiance is dimly light, and the food and drinks are always amazing. Camden doesn't disappoint us. On our most recent visit my brother decided to add caviar and truffle to the dishes we ordered and it had my toes curling. Their cesar salad is also top tier.We love Camden so much!

I got invited to my friend's Birthday dinner here and I'm so glad I was able to attend. The menu said Happy Birthday Jose on it . It was such a cute detail. The food was so good!! Literally 10/10 experience the drinks were fabulous as well . Let me say this was maybe the best new restaurant I have been to in a while I keep thinking of the food it was so good . Everyone here was super friendly and attentive our waiter was amazing. Also don't skip on the dessert they are all a must try . I highly recommend checking this place out . I can't wait to go back .

Food here was amazing. Service was the highlight for me. We had a lovely server (dang forgot her name), very attentive, sweet and always available. Nice ambiance and great for a group or a nice idea.

Fourth time here, and definitely the last. It's a great looking place with a limited but thoughtful menu. Food is usually very good to excellent, but tonight, my dish was pretty heavily salted. They have very good cocktails and a strong wine list. This evening's meal started great, but was ruined by a service issue that left me uncomfortable, offended, and ultimately, not interested in returning. Service here has always been an issue, but more just not extremely professional than anything else. After our apps, we requested another round of drinks (2 glasses of wine and one cocktail). About 10 minutes passed and our entrées came. When I finally got our server's attention, he said drinks were on the way. I pointed to my plate and said we were nearly finished and had hoped for drinks with the meal. He completely lost it and said we weren't his only table, he had to answer other questions for other diners and they'd be there soon. He then went to the bar and had clearly forgotten to put order in as the wine bottles were collected and poured into glasses. Honestly, had he just said he forgot to put order in and hadn't lost it on me, I wouldn't have been happy, but I would understand. Bar manager came over and said he saw how long drinks took and the round was on him, but damage was done, for me. Honestly, this place should be better but most will still enjoy it. I definitely will not return.

I had wanted to try Camden Spit & Larder for quite some time before the opportunity arose. What better way to celebrate the release of the movie Wicked then to come to a fancy dinner with my girlfriends beforehand?! And that's exactly what we did!The three of us enjoyed a wonderful meal before heading to the movie. My two friends decided to share the oysters, but I did not partake as I am not an oyster girl. They did rant and rave about the flavor, and I will just take their word for it. I did split an order of the sausage rolls with a friend as an appetizer, and they were very delicious. For my meal, I couldn't decide so I ended up trying their roasted beet salad and their seasonal soup. The salad was so fresh and earthy, while the soup was warm and comforting. My friends both enjoyed their meals of steak and pasta, respectively. All in all, this is definitely an upscale fine dining establishment and I would be happy to return for a special celebration or anniversary.

Wonderful food. Great service from beginning to end. Attentive and personable staff. Our server, Chelsea, was informative and very pleasant made our dinner experience one of the best we have had in a very long time. Food is somewhat esoteric, however every item is top notch from butter, lamb, beef and veggies to dessert. Had to stop eating but wished we could go on. Great experience great place.

I stopped by Camden for a quick drink on a Monday before a Kings game. The place was busy! We sat at the bar and I ordered the House Gin & Tonic. They make their tonic in-house and it's definitely delicious. I'd recommend coming for happy hour for sure. I missed the window and my drink was a little more than I'd usually like to spend around town, but the ambience and service were nice touches. I'd say happy hour prices would have made this experience 5 stars for me!
