Fancy Eats
Stacey suggested we try out a new place in Central Phoenix for dinner last week. It’s called Camus and it’s been written up in the local paper a bit.
Kinda fancy-schmancy looking place where you know the staff is probably gay (which is a good sign for a restaurant in my opinion) and the prices are probably high. Both were true.
I was going to teetotal it but they had sparkling wine by the glass so I had to try it. Good stuff and everyone else liked their wine selections. The wine prices weren’t too crazy, $5 and up per glass. It’s really outrageous when you consider what a bottle costs but on par with what most restaurants charge.
The food was really good! The five of us tried a bunch of different appetizers, salads, main dishes and desserts and everyone was happy. Stacey fell in love with her Gnocci with Mushrooms and Maria and Chris were all over the coconut crème brule though they weren’t so fond of the raspberry flavored one. I had a pasta with shroom dish that was darn good.
We were in a bit of a hurry so didn’t get to linger over our meal. We decided that was a shame so we’re heading back there when we can spend more time. Next time, I’ll plan ahead and eat light during the day so I can get dessert.
Total bill was $165 (not including tip) so it wasn’t a cheap meal but I think everyone thought it was worth it.
