What a gem! If you are comfortable with the premise that you are eating at a school, and many of those around you are on a learning curve, it is an exceptional meal. The servers are learning, and at times are slow as they sometimes need to check with more experienced staff people. That said, they were polite and responsive, and very easy to engage. The menu is slightly limited given the setting (would benefit from a vegan or another vegetarian- not pasta-entre), but excellently prepared and plated. A very good meal overall. Very fairly priced especially given how well the preparation was. We will be back. Informed that the menu changes every 10 weeks or so.

When you go here, you’re swept away into a European small town with the decor. It’s enchanting! It’s a teaching school, so each hostess and server is learning to be a professional. Show them kindness and grace as they learn and enjoy the experience!
