RESTAURANT REVIEW

If you blindfolded us and asked us to describe our idea of the perfect farm-to-table restaurant, we would describe what Russell Moore and Allison Hopelain have created at Camino. Upon entering the restaurant, you can't help but notice Moore standing in front of a huge hearth, complete with roaring fire. Depending on the day, there might be a leg of lamb hanging over the fire. Or maybe Moore has set a giant paella pan alongside the fire. This experience is as convivial as it is delicious; one reviewer called this "the epitome of a casual restaurant."
