Inconsistent service and food. Always dine there mid term not at the beginning when the students are getting used to the space.

Very good experience, good price for the quality, attractive décor and table arrangements. Servers and food prepares are obviously on a learning curve, but they did a good job and were knowledgeable about the food and wine. I will return.

Unique restaurant setting as all the chefs are culinary students and they make a lot of innovative dishes. With the open kitchen setting you could see the chefs working and on the side there is even a small museum of culinary. Food was gorgeous (I couldn't recall anything I didn't care for) and the value is definitely beyond imagination. Worth multiple visits.

If you have never been to Kendall College it is a must see for your bucket list. The experience alone is worth it...not to mention the exquisite food and service. The view over the city is also noteworthy. Definitely a restaurant for any special event!!!
