Absolutely amazing, just like the Manly venue. Food unbelievably good, with mazing flavour combinations and creativity plated up. Great waite staff. I'm a big bloke and portion sizes could be bigger for the price, so only 4 stars for value, but all else 5 stars. Had a great time there!

We have been a number of times to the Ambassador Training Restaurant and again it didn't disappoint. We all felt that out waiter Ben had served us a few months prior and we were impressed with his increased confidence and demeanour. The food was excellent as seems usual. We will look forward to repeating our experiences at a future date. Thanks to the teachers and staff who have contributed to this excellent experience.

So excited that our favorite breakfast/lunch location is now doing dinners as well. Not the big range on the menu but everything we had was excellent. And do yourself a favour and finish off with a Dom Pedro, you can thank me later
