I am so happy I discovered this restaurant! It is an unbelievable value. The food and presentation are top notch. The service can be a little shaky as you are dealing with culinary students but A for effort! Finding it the first time can be very tricky to say the least, leave yourself plenty of time. It is located on the campus of Trident Community College. There really are no signs. Look for building 920. It has an oval glass concave entryway. They only serve on Thursdays. Menus change regularly. The cost in 2023 is $21.80 including tax. This comes with water, coffee or tea, bread and butter plus 3 courses. I always leave with leftovers for another meal. 11:30/ lunch is the only time for reservations. Bathroom is very clean. Parking is easy as it is a big parking lot.

Had a wonderful lunch thanks to Lisa and our server Nic. The "setup" on the table was terrific and everything from the introduction of our server until the final sip of coffee went smoothly and was professionally done.

Loved the “mock tail” Great thought process We enjoyed the Hawaiian theme. The food was delicious, but my spouse thought the pork entree needed “flavor”. Portions are perfect. We noticed students with smiles and needed information about menu items. Very clean and look forward to returning

We enjoy dining at the culinary school because of quality, service along with a reasonable cost. It allows us to enjoy students and contribute to their learning experience. To date I have never had a bad meal there. Jerryk

Enjoyed the food, server & surroundings. Lots of food for a noon lunch. Wish they had early bird dining. I did bring half of my lunch home. This is always a great experience- Relish & Palmer.

Great place for a meal. Food was a delight.. the only concern was the centerpiece was too tall which interfered with conversations... this is one place all should try for a memorable dining experience

We celebrated my wife's birthday with a couple of our close friends at a noon meal. The restaurant was part of the Trident Tech Culinary Program where students are involved in all phases of a restaurant operation. A three course meal was served. The food was well prepared and delicious. Service was outstanding....Recommend this restaurant to all...will be going back again next semester...

My son is a student in the culinary arts program and we were curious to experience his class environment. It was very professional and we enjoyed seeing the students working in the kitchen. The portions were perfect for lunch. I had the Halibut, delicious, my husband had shrimp and enjoyed it. The panna cotta portion for the dessert was a bit too much for me. The service was timely, professional, and friendly

Yes, we would recommend Relish as long as you are patient. A high point of coming to Relish was buying pastries from their bakery shop, it was not open. We understand it is a learning environment, but the servers were really under manned, it was difficult to flag one down for assistance. Meal started with dry biscuits, they used to serve artisan breads. First course we had roasted beets and charred tomato, both were great starters. Second course had amazing chicken with farro, the other plate was delicious ravioli and smoked salmon which had to be sent back as it was uncooked and cold in the middle. Dessert was a great selection of cheeses and crackers (would have been better with french bread and butter) and "chocolate pudding" forget the name. The pudding was flavorful, but rubbery. Good experience but "been there done that" and no need to go back for the same menu. Basically a "one and done" place now.

I was there with a party of 4. We had reservations for 11:30am but they didn't open up the doors until 11:45. We were waited on promptly and our server was very courtious. The first course was very good, but I had pork loin for the entree and it was so salty I could barely eat it. The dessert was chocolate panna cotta, which I love, but it was very rubbery. Hazelnut Lattee was delicious.

We enjoyed a wonderful experience. The meal was beautifully plated and delicious. Our server was extremely courteous and polite. The staff and cooks were all students under Instructors supervision, but overall this restaurant was far superior to a lot of restaurants I've dined in.
