“Cafe Camellia is amazing! Great addition to the neighborhood with really fresh and original coastal seafood and excellent drinks. The environment is really warm and the service is fun and great! Highly recommend the margarita, truffle old fashioned, and great wine list! For food, we love the ribs, crab cake, shrimp and grits, and basically everything we've had. And make sure get the both desserts every time!“

We also got these croquette appetizers and they were on the smaller side but man were they delicious! My bf said he can down 10 of them if he had the option to. The oysters were fresh and smooth. We ordered the surf n turf po boy and a small order of creole gumbo. We also received a panna cotta dessert and it was so smooth and rich. Highly recommend this spot!“

“I wish I had opened Popina myself. It is a perfect restaurant. The spicy chicken milanese and carolina arancini are sublime-- the service is good and I feel a little like I'm in a different city when I go to Popina. One that is hospitable, a little slower, that allows you to savor every moment, sip and bite.“

“The food was phenomenally bonkers!, it had the home style cooking and flavor bursts you would want from a delicious brunch. The jerk chicken was flavor filled with all types of delicious spices, char grilled, and succulent with every bite. The team and wonderful service from “Demmoy” and a few others I was enjoying my food too much I forgot to get everyone’s name, provided such a welcoming experience and energy, fantastic vibes. I can’t say enough kind words about this place. I plan to return often for the jerk chicken and waffles. The waffle had crispy crust & savory tastes, the maple syrup was delivered heated, such a fantastic touch!. My partner had the eggs biscuits and grits, holy smokes that had a fantastic flavor as well, i ate half of her food (after she was done), ?Highly recommend. ??“

With a slightly different menu from the other location and a variety of options it was tough to decide what to order, making this a great spot to share a few items with a date or a friend. The blackened catfish was delicious, as was the crispy salmon bowl. The pistachio chocolate cake was a hit with my partner who doesn’t even like pistachios.“

This woman has taken it upon herself to feed the world, starting with her community and New York City as a whole. During the pandemic she fed 500 people a day and has made it her mission to find every way possible to feed everyone she can. Come support this place and you’ll be blessed, if you have the honor to meet her, bless her! I usually just review the food but I am wowed by how much work this person does to spread food as love. I hope Keith Lee comes back to New York to come here because she deserves it“
