Honestly- this place is great! Almost everything I have eaten or drank here has been delicious. Recommend the hush puppies and green tomato martini, but everything is good. I don’t normally do reviews but I think this place really deserves it (as someone who grew up in the south)

Cafe Camellia was such a delicious, elevated experience. We got a chance to taste a variety of authentic southern specialties in a sleek, refined space with excellent service and phenomenal cooking.
Baked oysters, country-fried ribs, crab cakes, blackened catfish… it was a mind-blowing experience ?

Excellent spot near my buddies place we popped in last night for some dinner and I will say I left thoroughly pleased. The food was well prepared tasty and prompt, wine flowed and the staff was great to chat with. They said the menu changed frequently, sounds good to me! Will pop in when I’m in town guaranteed! Bravo!

One of the best restaurants in NY. Delicious and elevated southern food. The staff are also incredibly nice and offered us a free dessert since we were so happy with our meal. 10/10. Highly recommend the crispy chicken and fried snapper (it was a special but I hope they bring it back)
a gem of a spot that's just far enough off the beaten path to be able to accommodate you.
there's healthier, lighter food available at other restaurants. at Cafe Camelia you're playing for pure holy tastiness. Not ashamed to say i've been here probably 7 times in the past 18 months.
the heaviest hitters are the ribs, red beans, brussels sprouts, and fried rice, crispy chicken, and catfish. are all of those dishes fried? yes. does it all taste incredible? even yes-er.
everyone should come here to try the ribs. I've never had anything like them. I don't want to do a disservice by trying to describe them. Just go try them and thank me later.
desserts are good too.
