Jolene , or Joe as she asked us to call her, was our server last night and was so very attentive, courteous and wonderful to have a conversation with! We have eaten at Cameron so many times and the food is always exceptional. Same with the service but Jolene was exceptional last evening. I’m truly appreciated her professionalism and her very cheery attitude. We ordered all of our dishes at the same time and she timed them out perfectly so we never felt rushed making the dining experience flawless.

Slow night due to weather. Arrived at 7 and sat quickly. Brussels sprouts are a favorite for an appetizer! We had the chicken sliders and the salmon, Delicious! Skip desert but Malbec wine was spot on as was the Assistant Manager NA Beer. Thanks to the kitchen and staff for a nice night out.

We went before a hockey game and were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated. Nicely decorated with a pleasant ambiance. Casey, our incredible server, came over right away and told us about the great happy hour specials, including many menu items at 50% off as well as cocktails and wine. Casey gave us many good suggestions and brought out our food in a timing and logical manner. She checked on us several times and we never felt rushed. Good food at reasonable prices with a great server. Highly recommend!
