Chef Abigail has a keen eye for detail and a welcoming space for all who desire to learn and embrace the world of culinary art. This is a woman led establishment which is so important to acknowledge! Dig deeper and find out more about the events they hold and you wont be disappointed!

We took a private cooking class with Abigail and it was wonderful. Everything about our evening was special - the setting and location were charming, the instruction was great as was the food, and Abigail herself is a lovely person. It was a delightful night filled with learning, great food and enjoyable conversation. I highly recommended!

Abigails signature Dinner In The Dark is a dining experience not to be missed! For wonderful service, phenomenal food & delicious wines... Abigails Kitchen has it all!!

Came here for a tasting menu by chef Raphael Khutorsky, was amazed by the service and food. Abigail was out chatting with the patrons. Had a great time and will definitely be back.

If youve never eaten a meal while blindfolded (which you probably havent), Dark Dining is a must-experience event! Its perfect for date night, parties or just going solo - which I did. Chef Abby will greet you personally upon arrival, and she will give you a (new, sealed, sanitary) blindfold to wear throughout the entire evening. Trust me. You wont be able to peek; the covering is so effective, its pitch black with your eyes open. Lively music plays while you anticipate the arrival of a multi-course meal and wine pairings (the wine is replenished frequently). Having no sense of sight, I found myself using my fingers on more than one occasion! I could hear laughter from other diners as they did the same, literally feeling their way through the dark. Relying on your sense of taste, smell and touch, your awareness is heightened. You are even hyper-conscious of your movements. (Where did I place that Champagne flute???) The food is delicious, prepared from local sources, and at the end of the meal when you are free to remove your blindfold, Chef Abby reveals the menu and the wines. (Not to spoil anything, I thought I was eating one type of protein, and it was something completely different!) The all-inclusive price is a great value, and the chef will accommodate you if you have dietary restrictions or allergies. So, book a space (or a few) at the next Dark Dining event. If I could give this experience six stars, I would. You will have an unforgettable time! Thank you, Abigails Kitchen!

Excellent dinner in the dark. Really heightened all of the other senses. Very nice people that made it extremely relaxing, enjoyable, and entertaining. Food was excellent and I tried my best to get snaps of all the dishes.

Came for dinner in the dark with coworkers. So much fun and the food was unbelievably delicious!

We came forDinner in the Dark and loved the entire experience. You are blindfolded during the entire meal and experience. It really heightens your other senses and you connection with the people you are with becomes more more intimate and enjoyable. No technology! The owner is a true chef, the food is local and whats fresh that day. Loved the entire experience. Highly recommend.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Great time and delicious (self-made) food guaranteed.We took a cooking class at Abbys for a company event and had the best time! Abbys team was extremely professional, fun, and generous. The setting was intimate which allowed us to bond and enjoy a creative moment all together. Well be back very soon!

Excellent little place that totally reminded me of Paris. Soups are excellent across the board, steaks are perfectly cooked and served with the right touches that enhance the consumption. Attentive service and a nicely balanced wine list complete the experience. On the regular rotation list!

Cute little bistro in a quant part of the city. Food was good. Service was ok, but there was literally 1 waitress for the whole place the entire night, so things took a bit long to come out. The workers were really apologetic about the slow service and friendly. Drinks are a tad weak but taste good. Id go back. Try the steak and fries. Really good. The chicken was good as well.

Went to dinner in the dark. It was my second time and LOVED it!!

Amazing experience on Dinner in the dark at Abigails kitchen. She is an amazing host and chef. The food was tasty and delicious. Totally recommend it. Thanks Abigail for such amazing experience.

My mouth is still watering thinking of the tender, flavorful steak we had and the amazing fries. Yummy french onion soup too. This is such a great place. The gentleman who took care of us not only greeted us like old friends he even remembered the specific concert we were going to the last time we were here a few months ago! The food here is amazing and we cant wait to go back. Great choice for an intimate dinner or with a group of friends/family.

100% RECOMENDED. Had a great time cooking and learning at Abigails place. Great food, wine, atmosphere and hospitality. Very good spot for a different kind of date.

We love Camaje! Our go-to restaurant when in the Village. Great food & mostly organic when available. Chef Abbey is very talented. LOVED the Dark Dining!! Highly recommend.

The was was great. It was arranged in the plate as if it was modern art. The presentation of the food was awesome. I had a pleasant waitress. She was very helpful in suggesting us something to eat and she was always there any time we needed something. The actual establishment itself looks like a dump. You know what they say though the best food are from the hole in the wall looking places. I would recommend others to go to this restaurant and try it out. I know I definitely wouldnt mind going back there myself. I think this restaurant is one of those hidden gems that you find every now and again.

Nice place. Excellent service. Accommodated all special requests to modify dishes without attitude. Lovely ambiance. A little warm inside though. $20 corkage fee was fair. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I went to this restaurant during a Dine in the Dark event and I was blindfolded entering into this establishment and when I was escorted out, so I have no idea regarding the decor. We were seated by the staff and the first item that they gave us to taste was garlic bread that we had to crunch on at the count of 3 to figure out the room size. I still do not know how small or large the room was. The garlic bread was very garlic-y and I do not believe it was because of my heightened sense due to being blindfolded. Also the bread was very hard I wish it would have had a soft middle.The next course was a refreshing and tasty avocado and cucumber chilled soup with basil and onions. I really enjoyed the soup. After that we had Atlantic Char that I found to be very fatty with a cabbage salad.Our main course was pork seasoned in cumin along other spices that I had no idea that it was pork and lentils that I found tasty. the dessert was a strawberry tart that was ok with a yummy mint ice cream that they made at the restaurant.The portions were enough to fill me up being that we had 4 courses and the wine pairing was very good. I would just hope that the portions would be larger if I decided to go back there without a blindfold.

Dinner in the Dark was a really exciting experience. The food and wine were delicious, and the ambiance was just so awesome.

Went to dinner in the dark.... twice! LOVED it. Youll get a different experience each time. The food is fresh....can you guess what youre eating? A perfect date.... especially for four

Nice, relaxing ambience - especially on a sunny afternoon. I was a little pressed for time but the server (Gretchen) was lovely and hospitable. Excellent service. Would go back there more often if I lived closer!

Dinner in the Dark was a charming experience. Their chef is really passionate about food and unique dining experiences; each time she does it, she prepares a different menu. While pricey, it is a wonderful way to have a fancy dinner that you have be sure you wont forget.

We went for Brunch the place next door was packed and we were the only people there for about 2 hours. 1 other group joined at about 5: 00pm. The food was good. Had shrimp for appetizer it tasted suspicious but the person I was running with are it. Main course and dessert was awesome.

We visited Camaje Bistro for one of their Dark Dining dinners, where guests eat while blindfolded. Eating in total darkness is disorienting, though you grow accustomed to your surroundings fairly quickly. Smells and noises become amplified; you smell your food before it reaches the table and others conversations are suddenly louder and clearer. The experience is neat though somewhat frustrating; I want to see what Im eating and not have to grope for my food with my fingers. I also didnt like not knowing what I was putting in my mouth and having no control over the menu -- I far prefer to choose my dishes than have them chosen for me. The food itself was decent though not earth shattering, and everything was served in impossibly small portions. The standout of the evening was a chilled avocado cucumber soup, creamy and tasty. Arctic char was a bit fishy and lackluster, which is a shame for fish with such potential. Pork was tender and meaty, though crusted in too much cumin and bizarrely paired with lentils and bell peppers. Strawberry rhubarb crisp was blah all around; the accompanying fresh mint ice cream was light and refreshing (though served in a thimble-sized portion). The entertainment throughout the evening was singing, chanting, and randomly being caressed when you werent expecting it -- I could have lived without all of it. An interesting experience, but one that isnt for me.

Very good food and very impressed by the atmosphere of the place! We visited on our honeymoon and used a groupon and it was GREAT. The steak I had was so tender and so was my husbands duck!

Food atmosphere and service were just amazing.. thank you for this expirience. And I recommend to my friends for sure

I stumbled on Camaje with a friend one Saturday afternoon. They have a great happy hour. I enjoyed the mussels, fries, along with the meat and cheese platter. Ernest was a wonderful server. I was impressed by how attentive and knowledgeable he was. Id definitely stop by again.

My experience here may be a bit different from the normal patron, as I was here for a private dark dining event. We were blindfolded before we entered the office, so I cant say much about the decor. The food was well prepared, and the staff did a great job of being both accommodating and entertaining. Ill definitely give this place another chance, although perhaps this time without the blindfold.

It was an interesting evening. Most of the people in the group know each other. We were all blind folded before entering the dining room. I am not a fan of trusting others to lead us into a dining room. Then we were presented with a glass of water, and some overly well done garlic bread. It was too crispy. Then we were given a very small cup of cold avocado cucumber soup. The soup was good but cold. Then came the salad, which was char (similar in texture to salmon). It was over salted. I could not eat it. I love fish and salad but it was inedible. Then came the main course, which was also cold. Pork tenderloin, which was overly smoked and very salty. I could not eat it. Then dessert was a cold berry crispy with mint ice cream. I dislike mint. Needless to say, I did not eat the dessert. The wines were good. There was a different wine for each course. I like to see the food before I taste it. It was interesting. Very expensive. $125 per person. The food and experience was not worth the price. Portions were very small. Service was good. We were touched by unknown people while blind folded. I really did not appreciate that.

I popped in for drinks on a Wednesday night and I noticed that the space quickly filled up. They were short-staffed and it took 25 minutes for us to get our cocktails. They were worth the wait -- The Brexit was particularly well-balanced. We switched to wine, which was poured steadily all evening. Our server was apologetic about the wait and honored happy hour prices all night to make up for it.

Took the Formal French cooking class. The location was cozy. Bathroom was clean. The wine kept flowing and I received many cooking tips:i.e. types of pans, knife usage and more importantly crepe flipping

Very attentive service. The food was decent. Its small and cozy and their wine happy hour from 4-6 or 7 is amazing for $7/glass!

Lovely little bar/restaurant with nice outdoor and window seating. Cocktails were very nice and staff were polite.

Went for the Dinner in the Dark event with my wife. Food was amazing!!! Great wine pairings. Friendly staff. Will definitely return!

Dinner in the Dark was an amazing experience. Id 100% recommend this.

The whole event was organized pretty cool and would seem ok but the food quality was quite terrible if not said worse.

Owners are down to earth and talented. Had a fun night learning about Thai cuisine.

They have a wonderful concept of Dinner in the dark ... Its was a great experience to have a 5 course meal and 5 wines with a blind fold.

To those complaining that they couldnt 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.

Awesome experience. Worth every penny

Lovely (if a bit stingily portioned) Franco-American fare, but the decor leaves something to be desired. A creepy, covered couch in the front window seats casual coffee sippers in the window -- remove it and the decor score would instantly shoot to 3.

Amazing meal. Way under rates. Don’t be in a rush. Small and pretty and slow but worth it.

The food is great and the service is amazing!! They are happy to answer any questions, we even learned what type of snail is used to make escargot! Fine dining in a romantically quaint, cozy atmosphere.

LOVELY place, great vibe, delicious food, excellent wines, comfy seats, super friendly staff. LOVED this restaurant, cant 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 :)

The dining in the dark was a great experience! Food was excellent.

This was the best meal weve had in a long time. The charcuterie cheeses are varied and high quality, the duck was delicious, but it was the banoffee pie that made us go to the back and thank the chef. We will absolutely return and recommend to friends!

Lovely bistro with a well prepared traditional French menu and cordial friendly service. Worth a visit!

Had rabbit. Nicely cooked. Well seasoned. Would serve it with potatoes though.

On Monday October 17th my friend and I had a wonderful dinner at Camaje. We split the salad of fresh greens, beets, roasted carrots, mushrooms and goat cheese. It was served on 2 small plates so that we didnt have to divide the salad ourselves. What service! I had the duck breast with the pomegranate sauce and my friend had the fish of the day. Both were excellent!! The service was perfect; not too slow and not hovering every 15 minutes. I wish we could have stayed for dessert and coffee but we had tickets for a movie at the Independent Film Center (which is 5 minutes away!). Thank you, Abby and staff for a lovely and delicious meal!!!

1. I called to make a reservation and was asked to do it online instead.2. I made a reservation online two days 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 eventWe are going to have to get a bigger closed signI 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!

Cozy, very good food and service. Definitely want to go back

Excellent restaurant. The French Lentil salad (mixed greens, beets, herbed goat cheese), the bouillabaisse and the dense, rich flourless chocolate cake are all delicious. The service is attentive.

Absolutely loved this place. Great food!

Had the rabbit. Excellent stew. Great service. Love the ambiance.

It was an excellent experience and I woukd recommend every to try it even once.

Hands down one of the best dining experiences I have ever had in my life last Tuesday night. I am on the Atkins diet so the cheese and charcuterie plate was really ideal for me. I throughly enjoyed the ambiance and loved the server, he was so friendly and attentive.The curated cheese and charcuterie menu was very tempting and well described. Our waiter helped guide us to make the right choices. What made this experience really really special was the French lentils, which were perfectly seasoned and a bit lemony. Overall a very high recommend.

Not bad, empty and quiet inside, nice atmosphere, food is not good however.aybe a place to enjoy wine and cold cuts at, not more

Great food! Great drinks! Great service! Great value!

Dinner in the dark, an interesting experience, great food and wine pairing, all in one package.

Great experience recommended for anyone over 12 years old.

I went there for diner in the dark.Pros:- food is really good- it is a fun experienceCons:- Omg the wait between each dish is soooooo looong. Seriously, starting at 7:00pm, at 9:00pm we only had the very first dish.- no big surprise in the plate, I was hoping for more creativity. I dont really see what is the point of serving expected dished / ingredients. Only the palate cleanser was a surprise (thats just one thing)- they make a big deal of wearing the mask at all time. I dont think that is necessary

Cozy, friendly, great food that sticks to basic principles and delivers.

Camaje hosts Dining in the Dark nights. Eat a tasting menu blindfolded. They take this very seriously as there is no peeking and I still, to this day, do not know what the restaurant looks like. They even escort you to the bathroom blindfolded.Dining in the Dark is part theatrical. They have a singer for entertainment and a person who goes around massaging people. I wish there was an opt out choice for the touching. I dont enjoy strangers playing with my hair or touching my shoulders, etc. The singer was nice but expected us to sing with her. I love singing but did not come to dinner to sing choir.As for the food, it was lackluster. The portions were extremely small and each dish was cold. The soup was okay to be cold but the entree and crisp dessert should have been warm. The appetizer of bread tasted burnt. The wine pairings were good and generous. In the first 15 minutes, I had knocked over my glass. Thankfully, they were very forgiving about it.If you are thinking about dining at Camaje, skip dining in the dark. Your wallet will thank you and you will probably have a better experience.

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Highly recommend!

Went there for a French cooking class. Great teacher and wonderful food.

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.

Small and romantic spot offering a great prix-fixe lunch menu for $15 – dine on pesto and goat cheese crostini, a smokey hummus sandwich and a chocolate crepe.

Great atmosphere, awesome service, good food and wine list.

Very good brunch. Excellent eggs Benedict.

Food and service is always top notch...

Excellent food and service.

I love CamaJe I make sure to go by everytime I go to New York! Amazing food and awesome atmosphere!

Good food and great service in a cozy welcoming ambiance

Absolutely amazing Dinner in the Dark experience!

Great vibes, Awesome Food, Classes and the Website has Recipes and T-Shirts!

Small but very good and service.

I ate here for a dollar and still somehow feel like I overpaid. Id always heard this place was a hiiden gem of a bargain. Well that gems could use a polishing. Sloppy looking room, M.I.A. management (the first time I went they just happened to be opening over an hour late). When I finally did eat here the fries were a soggy, greasy mess, the panini unremarkable, and the throat clearing sounds emanating from the kitchen were sickening.

Great service, nice brunch menu and food was awesome!

Charming, tiny french bistro with very good food, but cramped.

Good food great with the Groupon.

Love Abby, Love her vibe, love her food. Abigails Kitchen is amazing.

Dinner in the Dark was an amazing experience!

Excellent food and service.

Friendly people in the heart of manhattan

An okay place, a little misleading with the dates for the blindfold dinner.

Good apetizer

Small bistro. Try the rabbit and escargots.

Just ok, nothing french there.

Amazing blind dining experience!!!!

Amazing.

Amazing Chef

Just go there for the crepes!

Very nice for aperitif finally a terrace where you can sit and drink a beer quietly. Excellent charcuterie

Very good address, varied and tasty dishes. Very pleasant service. Serene and jazzy musical atmosphere without being noisy. To advice !

Liked it
