We had dinner at cafe Louis/Costa Media. Food, service and atmosphere were all great. Solid choice if you're in Camden. We will be giving their original location in Portland a try soon.

We really wanted to like it. The cocktails are good, but small. Everything else fell apart after that. We were a party of four, and ordered from the small plates and two mains. The two in our group finished their meal before our two entree’s arrived. My entree finally arrived and my husband was still waiting. When we asked, and said it had been over an hour, we were corrected and said it had been 45 minutes. The food was delicious when it arrived. After that, no one came to ask how the food was, or to clear any plates. No one wants to be the ONLY one eating. They talk about family style eating, which is great, but “family style” is everyone sharing and eating AT THE SAME TIME. If, at any time, someone had said “I’m sorry this is taking so long” or, “would you like a drink on the house?”, basically anything, it would have made a difference. We won’t be going back, unfortunately.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch. The restaurant is in a lovely, old New England house just before downtown Camden. It's been used as a restaurant before but Costa Media has added their own details and aesthetics here, and the touch is nice. The food was amazing -- can't express how much we enjoyed the burger and caramelized tangerine! If you're making a trip to the Camden area, be sure to add Costa Media to your list of food stops!

Shocked at how good the dinner was! Eyebrow-raising, knock-you-back-in-your-chair stuff. One of the most memorable meals we’ve had in years in a charming setting with friendly service and killer cocktails. Will be back at this exceptional new business that is way better than it needed to be as often as possible.Kid-friendliness: Accommodating staff, French fries were a hit

We loved the laid back friendly vibe. The restaurant is cozy and quaint, the kind of place you just want to hang out as if you’re always having dinner with friends. I had the Ron Don at the South Portland location and had hoped it was as good in The new Camden location because well… it’s an amazing dish bursting with flavor and color.Chef Evan Richardson has such a gift for marrying flavor with pleasing to behold dishes. We’ll definitely be back!

Our food and drinks were incredible. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable. We will be coming back soon for sure!
Awesome new place in Camden. We had beef guallitos (excellent and flavorful, crisped tortillas), mushroom empanada (really flaky crust that paired really well with the queso creme), Casado breakfast plate (delicious chorizo), media noche sandwich (kind of like a cubano, my kids loved this, really tender meat and crisp bread), fried chicken sandwich (kids also loved this; make sure you ask for no chiles if you don't like spice), and chickpea torta (awesome even if you're not a vegetarian - flavorful and right combo of soft chickpeas with a crisp outside). Fries were tasty too! Excellent all around.

A smooth opening with delicious plates and nicely paired cocktails tells a story of just how experienced they are. Had a great chat with the staff as we enjoyed the Louis Burger and the carne asada. Both were amazing.Looking forward to seeing them settle in nicely with the community and being a regular.
