I'll try it next time I'm in town. Just a note though: to call both Marche and LB Steak "good" restaurants is way off the mark. Marche was fabulous, everything a restaurant should be. LB Steak was terrible. We tried it 2 times and were greeted with such delicacies as a water-soaked blue-cheese wedge and a $50 steak that was well-done on one end and raw on the other end (I kid you not). I requested a new medium-rare steak and after 10 minutes received a thoroughly well-done steak.

Marché was heavenly. This new place looks good. Will try soon.

Believe I heard this place is all communal tables. Is this correct? If so, should be mentioned. I would never go there if so.

"LB Steak preceded it and Marché before that -- all good restaurants but a bit too formal and pricey for everyday consideration."
Sorry, but I beg to differ. Marché was pricey, as was LB Steak's regular menu. But LBS had a killer Happy Hour where you could make a meal off the small plate menu at a reasonable price. Camper is expensive, with tiny portions.
Regarding the comment from "Mama" on all communal tables: no, that's not the case. Although tables ARE jammed really close together, plus the acoustics in Camper are awful.
