good to know

Many of the “Dig Deeper” topics mention El Camino, the major Peninsula street, not the restaurant Camino (which is intended to be the Italian word for “fireplace” or “chimney,” not the Spanish word for “way”).

The restaurant is owned by Russell Moore, previously the upstairs chef at Chez Panisse, and Allison Hopelain.

Event Facilities: Accommodate parties up to 34 at a single table. Buyout available

» November Paella fixed price Monday night dinner at Camino

Read about the November paella fixed price Monday night dinner at Camino on this Board. And leapt to make a reservation. Curious that they're not advertising it (it was never on their Website). But the place was crowded. It is such a lovely space w/ a great vibe. I want to like it. And continue to be disappointed. The price was certainly right for the price fixe meal--salad, paella, and cheese...+READ Read about the November paella fixed price Monday night dinner at Camino on this Board. And leapt to make a reservation. Curious that they're not advertising it (it was never on their Website). But the place was crowded. It is such a lovely space w/ a great vibe. I want to like it. And continue to be disappointed. The price was certainly right for the price fixe meal--salad, paella, and cheese for $25. Got wine by the glass--as was true when we were here before, a slightly stingy pour. The salad was lovely--beautiful lettuce and watermelon radish, fragrant herbs, perfect dressing. Great bread/butter/salt. The salad came very fast. And then a long wait for the paella. Which was only OK. Deconstructed, w/ sausages on one side of the plate, greens on another, salted ling cod on a third, sort of mixed in w/ the rice. The rice was very good. But to say it didn't come together is to critique the obvious. My husband felt his was also not warm enough (mine was fine, temperature-wise). Dessert was a lovely hard goat cheese, quince paste, and salted almonds--all very good, a small portion. The service was fine. And we weren't unhappy. Just not completely satisfied or excited.-COLLAPSE / REPLY (7 Replies) (by sundeck sue, updated November 17, 2009)
