Great experience with new chef-owner. – Apparently there has been a new chef/owner for a few years now. We had avoided it because we thought it was the guy from 2003 still. We were wrong. We had a great time and will be back again - wish we had known sooner. We were here this week for italian week and the food was fantastic. Loved the bruschetta and gnocchis. The homemade gelato was better than italy. Great server at our table and the chef came out to talk to us, making the experience even better.

Best French restaurant between Philly and Atlantic City – My wife and I had our anniversary dinner there last month. I am a retired French Chef. This was the best meal I ever ate in all my 50 years. On a quiet Wednesday May night we were seated outside on the patio. Our daughter played on the bocce ball court. We ate melt-in-your mouth foie gras done perfectly with a light Sauterne glaze, escargot with a mild Dijon sauce, and a cheese platter. Chef Benussi selected a French cheese, a Dutch chese, a Pennsylvania sheep's milk ... read more

This is not fine dining – I can't believe this is supposed to be a really fine restaurant. It was just barely run of the mill ordinary. Which is a real problem because the prices are extremely high--$30 brunch and $40 prix fixe Easter menu. Not run of the mill for the area. The best word I can use to describe this place is lazy, from the decor to the food. The whole restaurant is painted bright kitchen yellow, with tacky fake French impressionist prints in the entrance dining room and not particularly interesting modern art ... read more

Great food – I grew up in the area and had always wanted to go here, but never really got the chance. I went here on Valentine's Day and loved the whole experience. The place has apparently come under new ownership (the chef took over) and it really shows. I would recommend for a date or a special night of going out with friends. I had thought that it was mainly an older crowd, but noticed that a lot of younger people were there. It made me wish I had gone in sooner.

Worth crossing the bridge – I have to disagree with the last two negative reviews. But, first, allow me to say that as a worker in the service industry, I would never visit a restaurant during one of those horrid promotional weeks. Establishments are compelled to participate in these promotions to maintain membership in various regional organizations and put out scaled down versions of their menus to appeal to the most possible people, many of whom do not regularly dine out save for these 'restaurant weeks'. That said, La Ca... read more

Disappointed – After hearing some good reviews, we had dinner at La Campagne last night during restaurant week. We were not impressed. I had a reservation for two and gave my name to the host upon entrance. He peered at his tiny written list asking if we had originally made our reservation for three, I responded no and we were finally seated. Needless to say there was nothing warm or inviting about this man. We started with the amuse, which was decent but nothing great, followed by a salad which again was pretty uneventful. ... read more

Over rated and definitely over priced! – My husband and I decided to dine at this restaurant on his birthday (7/29/06) because of the good rating we read about this restaurant online. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a total disaster! it may have been very good in the past but it certainly is not when we were there. First we didn't feel as welcome by the host the minute we walked in. Then the food was awful. We were expecting delicate flavors as anyone would expect for a French cuisine. However, all we can taste in both ou... read more

Country French culinary heaven at this 150-year-old farmhouse on a busy main road in Cherry Hill. – In Short Owner John Byrne is obsessive about the details and it shows in the creativity of his menu, the quality of his ingredients and the charming coziness of his four dining rooms and outdoor terrace. If you can't decide on an entree from the large menu, the chef's tasting mnu (appetizer, dessert and smaller portions of any two entrees ) may be just the thing.

If nothing else, the French can cook. – La Campagne is a superb restaurant hidden away in an old farmhouse in Cherry Hill. The food is always amazing. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is completely charming. There is little else to be said.
