Students prepare and serve your food in a bistro like atmosphere. When I was there they had a buffet with about five different dishes. It was a not meat heavy and the quality was good but not great. You get a lot of food. For the price it is well worth it but be there early. They close on time.

Hidden gem. Hours are hard to catch cuz open only during lunch for 2 hrs. Looks classy inside. Serves as a laboratory since all run by students in the culinary program. Price is unbeatable. They state the plates are small but in fact same size as fancy places. Could try couple different dishes due to pricing. They also encourage you to order and try multiple dishes so students have practice cooking the dishes. The food is also good btw. You can't beat a $8 entree of salmon with mash potatoes. AND the salmon is size of your fist so it actually isn't small. Under $40 for two people which included drinks, dessert, and soup.

Great hidden gem! All of the food I have tried is delicious and priced very reasonably. I believe it is run by the students of the Culinary Academy. Just be patient with the service, they are still learning.

This is a culinary school with a cafe and patio dining. We came today for patio dining since Covid doesn't allow for indoor dining. They have a regular menu just like a regular restaurant but run by students. There's a supervisor that supervises them but everything takes extra time. For example, we normally would finish lunch in 30 minutes but here, it takes more than an hour. The students were confused and took our dish to another table and dessert took 15 minutes even though it's already prepared. The prices are amazing. I had a wonderful salmon dish (see picture) with a big piece of perfectly cooked salmon with rice and lima beans for 8 dollars! My husband enjoyed his pork belly dish for 7 dollars. We also ordered honeyed brussel sprouts for 3 dollars but they were soggy and I didn't like them. They also have an extensive drink menu for Matcha Chai lattes, coffees,and other drinks. If you have time and can fit into their schedule which is only Tuesdays to Thursdays between 11-12:30, this is a great place to try many dishes for almost nothing!
I went here after a tour of Contra Costa College. To be honest, I was very surprised. The people who work in the kitchen and work on the floor are all students in the culinary arts department and they are very well trained and they do their jobs well. I ordered the salmon, because it wasn't overpriced and because it was gluten free. The waitress was pretty knowledgeable and so what I thought would be an OK, run of the mill meal turned out to be quite delicious. I would recommend that anyone, who happened to be on campus would make a mistake if they didn't stop by for a meal. It's not a destination for me, because of the parking and the walk into the campus, but if in the area, I'd totally go by there for lunch or dinner. The have good, fresh, delicious food at a reasonable price.

All I can say is amazing service, amazing food, and amazing prices. I'm so happy I found this jewel. Well if it wasn't for my niece being in the culinary program I probably wouldn't know of this place, so if I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. This place is awesome and the students are great I'll be back again!!! I definitely recommend this place.

Just been missing school and wanted to give support! We ordered online for take out. We got the steak and fries, two burgers, and a challah dinner roll. Everything was really good

This is the place to get good food, utilizing the fresh in season food products- fruits, vegetables, etc. I had the opportunity to view demonstration of culinary chef. I am glad, I finally got to support the program. Next time, I will eat out there. I am looking forward to try other foods
