Cafe Camellia is a Southern-inspired restaurant that has become a hidden gem in the city. The restaurant offers a fun and creative cocktail menu, with drinks like the "A Complex Cocktail For Bitter People," a take on a Negroni, and the "A Bitter Cocktail For Complex People," a twist on a Manhattan. The cocktails are reasonably priced and come with a nice presentation.
The food menu features a variety of small plates and entrees. Standout dishes include the Country Fried Baby Back Ribs, which are tender and come with a delightful mix of sour and sweet flavors from the dill, vinegar, and jezebel sauce. The Hush Puppies, with their jalapeno, cheddar, and popcorn, are a tasty and unique twist on the classic. While the Crab Cake is a bit pricey, the Roasted Rib Cap and Crispy 1/2 Chicken are both solid choices for main dishes.
The restaurant is also known for its delectable desserts. The Key Lime Tart, with its toasted coconut and candied lime zest, is a highlight, while the Banana Pudding Tart, though rich and well-presented, can be a bit too sweet for some.
Overall, Cafe Camellia offers a fun and creative dining experience, with a focus on elevated Southern-inspired cuisine and cocktails. The restaurant's cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it an ideal spot for a date night or a gathering with friends.
