Named Camaraderie and opened in March, the restaurant is the first solo project for Shawn Gawle, who was most recently the executive pastry chef for Goodnight Hospitality.

Gawle likes to serve dishes that are a play on something that diners might already be familiar with. To fully create a sense of camaraderie in his restaurant, the prix-fixe menu is meant to be shared family-style.

“I feel like when people go out to dinner as a group, they’re going with close friends and loved ones, and they should share a meal and experience the same thing.”
