This was a buffet setting, which was not the usual set up we were used to. Food was amazing, a little bit of hiccups with the students trying to flambe or whatever fancy fire ? effect they were doing with the French onion soup ? ? ? . Highly recommend a night at the teaching restaurant. Food is on point? ?.

This is the fine dining restaurant of the Algonquin College Catering program so front of house and the kitchen are staffed by chefs in training. Today was a buffet ($28 so not badly priced) and focused largely on south Asian and south Asian influenced dishes. Good taste, enthusiastic (although occasionally nervous chef/trainees), good table service and pleasant environment. Great dessert bar with at least one flambe dish. Reservations important and dine here in the knowledge that these are students putting on the event under the watchful eye of instructors.

Such a treat, and won’t break the bank! Staff are great, you can actually have a conversation without noise to talk over, and food was worth the price! We’re watching for the menu to change - then taking our son to enjoy as well!

Great dining experience. Even though the waitstaff was a little green, they still served me quickly and with dignity. The price for the food is amazing and economical, especially if you’re a student. ~25$ is the average student dinner price. For reference, a five piece combo at Popeyes is only 5$ less. The food was pretty good, potstickers were mid, Atlantic salmon was satisfactory, but the dessert was amazing.

What a great dining experience! A large beautifully decorated restaurant with huge windows for natural lighting and a surprisingly nice view. The service was very smooth. The food was so well presented, creative, and in line with the current season. You can expect a 3 course meal, and a modern dining experience. At the end of our meal, The chefs came to our table to get feedback and to answer any questions. Very personable. We had 3 generations at our table and everyone was completely satisfied and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Highly recommend.#localguide
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this unique restaurant where students class prepares a three course dinner. I must say, I was blown away by the quality of the food and the level of skill displayed by the students.The meal began with a delicious leek and potato soup. The soup was creamy and rich with the right amount of seasoning and a drizzle of exceptional quality olive oil. Along with other members of the family, we enjoyed goat cheese and arugula salad. The salad was fresh and vibrant and perfect before the main course. Seafood dumplings were also savoured for starters.For the main course, I opted for a pan-seared salmon with roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables. The chicken dish with Indian butter sauce was another standout dish served with steamed fluffy and fragrant basmati rice and vegetables cooked just right.Finally, the dessert was the real treat, choice of chocolate lava cake or cheese cake served with fresh berries and dessert sauce.Overall was a fantastic dinner experience. The food was delicious and the students were really passionate about their craft. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try

Been here many times. Turns out this one was a buffet.I give the stars for the service. Lovely people.The food was really bad.The trouble with hotel pans is they keep cooking the food.Salmon like dry sandals.Probably should have an ingredient list because I had a huge reaction to something I ate.Nothing was hot or fresh.All the dessert was white.( I dislike chocolate so fine by me)Looked sad because it was all whiteI tried the mousse white lemonish cakeYuckWe were excited to support this place after the pandemic.I'm sorry but that's itGood luck to the students

Went Oct, 2022. Was just okay, wouldn't go back. Service wasn't great and the atmosphere was meh. Food was well presented but the flavours didn't really go well together. Fun evening otherwise, but wouldn't really recommend a nice dining experience, unless looking for something cheaper.

Western food is much better than asian food.
