CAMAJE Bistro

1. I called to make a reservation and was asked to do it online instead.
2. I made a reservation online two day's in advanced.I received my confirmation the very next day.
3. Excitement filled my heart! On the day of we took an Uber from the Javits center to the restaurant. (We are from NJ and were in town for the auto show)
4. When we got to the restaurant we were attacked at the entrance and greeted with "sorry this is a private party!"
Well we made a reservation online and received a confirmation. I said.
"Yes, but we are closed for a private event"
"We are going to have to get a bigger closed sign"

I honestly did not read the dingy sign with the 8 sized font on the open door.

5. I called the restaurant from outside filled with embarrassment to hopefully speak with a hostess or maybe an employee and explain i was outside.

"Oh the site should have not let you do that we are closed for a private event. You can go around the corner to another place."

No indication of maybe asking us to reschedule or willingness to make it up to us.

Very disappointed with the lack of consideration. -5 stars!

I took the Chinatown seafood shopping and cooking class here. We learned a nice variety of seafood recipes and cooking techniques that can be broadly applied to a wide range of dishes, (as well as how to select, clean, and fillet fish from the markets). The quality of the finished dishes was excellent. I will definitely be keeping and using all of the recipes we learned, and will be returning to Camaje for dinner.

Also, as others have mentioned, Abby is an excellent and engaging teacher.

To those complaining that they couldn't see what they were eating and wanted to choose their food - what did you expect! My family (some fussy eaters) thoroughly enjoyed it, and I thought the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend the experience to anyone.

Great service, nice brunch menu and food was awesome!

LOVELY place, great vibe, delicious food, excellent wines, comfy seats, super friendly staff. LOVED this restaurant, can't wait to return!!! I wish there were more places like this everywhere. P.S. Camaje had a very Parisian feel to it, which was awesome :)
