MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

You won’t be gathering in a circle, but there is something heartwarming and enticing about Campfire. It could be the World War II-era Quonset metal hut that anchors the space, the teepee or the custom-built 12-foot wood-burning hearth. Whatever it is, it exudes that cool glamping vibe. Imagine servers in gingham shirts offering DIY s’mores, thermoses doubling as water pitchers, and even the check issued in a field notebook—this spot takes its campy theme quite seriously.
The kitchen is no joke though. Diners may start with zesty crudo before moving on to a host of items that are either grilled, ember-roasted, or coal-smoked. This is cooking that smacks of an expert hand working the hearth.
