Camden Spit & Larder

Sacramento, CA

Camden Spit & Larder welcomes guests with a subversive and high-minded aesthetic. Inspired by the modern-day,high-fashion London haberdasheries of Savile Row, (Chef Ridgeway’s father was a tailor before becoming a restauranteur) the large space features bold and vibrant mixed prints, rich textures, custom chandeliers, banquettes in deep blues and blood reds, chevron-patterned hard wood floors in taupe and black,modern Windsor chairs, pressed-tin ceilings, walls of mirrors, and exposed concrete and beams. The black-stained, sculpted wood bar is punctuated by recessed paneling textured with 9,214 buttons, with seating areas showcasing large wing-backed chairs in madras plaid and black leather, three styles of tufted-backed leather stools at the counter, and grained-porcelain flooring laid in a wingtip pattern. Echoing Chef Ridgeway’s cuisine, the timeless, hand-crafted quality of all design elements are filled with twists on the familiar.   Photos by Eric Rorer.
