Unparalleled Quality

Our mantra is Everything Matters. From where the food is sourced to how it is stored and handled, and finally, to whom it is served, everything matters. From the time a guest books a reservation online, to the parking of their car, to the greeting as they enter our doors, to the service of their wine, cocktail, mocktail and beyond, everything matters. All choices and actions are driven by an emphasis on thoughtfulness and sustainability, not just in an environmental sense but in our relationships as well.

Equity

Commitment to fostering an equitable workplace where every employee is treated fairly and compensated justly is nonnegotiable for us. We believe that an inclusive environment drives our success, so we ensure that our pay structures are transparent. At Camaraderie we utilize One Fair Wage. Dining room staff will receive an hourly wage above the real minimum wage and all gratuities will be shared with all hourly employees, dining room and kitchen, to help close the wage gap.

Respect

In all interactions, respect is the default. This is reflected in how we care for guests, staff, neighbors, purveyors, ingredients, and the environment. Everyone who walks through the door receives the same recognition and courtesy. The staff is gracious and humble toward the people and resources that enable them to do what they love; and in turn we are respectful of our staffs time, expertise and desire to grow.

Communication

Open, detailed, direct and constant communication is the key ingredient for success to establish mature relationships and continuity within our team.

Growth

Growth is embraced at all levels. We will always be striving to innovate, improve and adapt to remain not only competitors, but leaders in hospitality. The new and unknown are not feared but relished.

Education & Opportunity

Camaraderie hires smart, genuine, energetic people and provides the tools and mentorship to allow them to thrive. A spirit of constant learning, growth, and training are key aspects of our culture.

Empathy

The team at Camaraderie serves its guests, coworkers, and community by putting themselves in others shoes, allowing for the opportunity to anticipate needs, establish trust, and build relationships.
