Tried Campo Food Hall for the first time last Thursday. I understand they are new so am giving them the benefit of the doubt with my rating.
My friend arrived around 8:15 and put his name down and it took about an hour to get a table as they had just sat most people there. There is no bar to wait at for a drink so we went next door to wait.
Once our table was ready we were given one menu to share. I get it is tapas and sharing is a thing but print more menus. Had to ask for another one.
We ordered the following:
- Shrimp special which was described as a massive shrimp. It was not (see photos). It was extremely delicious though.
- Potatoes and Egg w/ Bacon. Tasty but was kind of an odd recommendation I think, but nice sauce.
- Fried Stuffed peppers - Another special and very tasty.
- Octopus - Very delicious!
- Tuna - I really love tuna and this was delicious but I think the accompaniments to the tuna completely overpower the fish. Still tasty though.
- Olives - Huge bowl and very tasty.
- Bread - If we didn't have to wait about 20 minutes to get it I'd probably have enjoyed it more.
The service was where I think this place really lacked. Other than the issues mentioned above, all of our food items came out at the exact same time which meant things were going to get cold unless we ate super fast. Space it out better please! Several times we had to flag servers down instead of them checking in. Also the bread mentioned above we just wanted something to sop up the sauces but it took so long to get by the time we got it all the plates were cold. The server was kind enough to remove this from the bill at least.
The other thing I found was the prices are quite high here. $19 for a small shrimp or $32 for a couple pieces of tuna makes this more of a special occasions kind of place for me.
Overall though I have to say all of the food was very good and the space is really nice. Hopefully they can work out a few of the smaller issues and this place could be a fantastic restaurant.
My rating as is would be 3.5/5 but I rounded up to give them the benefit of the doubt for being new. Definitely worth a try though!
