“The location and view are wonderful. The cocktails were also great and our server was very sweet. We would not come back again for the food however. The she crab soup was delicious, but we were very disappointed with our entrees. My husband and I both had the salmon and it was overcooked and tasted fishy.“

“We had brunch today at the CAM Cafe and we were reminded once again of how under appreciated this place is. It’s such an elevated experience. But they’d never say that out loud because that’d be uncouth. Eating here is like eating in NYC, only much cheaper! Our server Reagan was so nice and attentive, and the food was elite. Normally I’m the type of guy who wants extremely sweet tea, but I actually appreciated that their tea was more tea than sugar. It was almost as if they were saying “settle down sir, this is a proper establishment!” I wish I took a picture of the omelette my wife got because it looked like something out of a Studio Ghibli film. Perfectly cooked and it tasted great. Don’t sleep on this place! It’s so affordable and the brunch is among the best in Wilmington. Oh, and if you’re a guy taking your significant other here, make sure you step your game up. Every older guy was a gentleman through and through. We’re talking opening the car door, pulling the chair out, and standing up when your partner reenters the dining room. Don’t get caught slacking! Lol“
