Love the Camelia, an absolute gem, lovely delicious meals at reasonable prices, all the staff are so warm, friendly, and efficient. The only place I'll go to eat out at the moment, as everywhere else the service is pretty poor with a dose of "I can't be bothered attitude"
Well done Camelia 👏 keep up the great service!
Lovely restaurant in a pleasant setting. Our waitresses were very friendly and attentive throughout.
Food was very nice indeed as were the drinks. Perhaps a little pricey, particularly the drinks, but overall very nice.
Would recommend to others and return ourselves after a while.
Lovely food and a really warm service from the staff. New restaurant layout feels intimate and modern. Will definately come back soon.
We had Sunday roast lunch - set menu.
It was very busy I recommend to reserve the table.
The food was ok - the Yorkshire was nice. But potatoes weren’t crispy. the veg was on the undercooked side for a couple of us. The portion size was plenty. The dessert were on the large side and good.
Service was good and accommodating.
For the 4 of us with drinks (5) it was £120ish.
Food was first class.
Service was excellent.
Lovely food. Great service, lovely people
Regular here. Faces seafront good food not too expensive delicious drinks.
The food is superb. Never had nothing bad in there
We first went on a Saturday evening for a meal which was really nice and will definitely be going again the food was delicious, very helpful staff and a good choice on the menu, and a specials board.
We then went a few weeks later for afternoon tea which was a bit disappointing the sandwiches were very uninteresting, but they were okay, the cakes were very nice though,, what disapointed us most was that we only had enough tea for one cup each and they only had full fat milk☹. So we would definitely recommend evenings, but we won't rush back for the afternoon tea. Sorry.
First time visit and it won't be the last. We shared 3 small plates for lunch plus a bowl of chips and all the food was excellent. Lovely presentation and it was delicious. Staff were very friendly and prices reasonable. The baguettes, served with chips which passed our table on the way to other customers looked more like a meal in itself. We had a table outside overlooking the sea and it was lovely. Luckily we live within walking distance so will be going back soon.
