"It was OK...it's the College of Dupage student run restaurant. It's kind of nice with a group because of the fixed price. The opinion at our table of 4 about the food though was meh. One person's salad was so cold as to virtually be frozen and they were tiny. The soups were tiny and a bit oily and salty. The entree's were ok.I wouldn't take most men I know there because they would leave hungry. Our waiter was a little off, there was a LONG wait for our entree's because they were busy, but perhaps they could have paced things a bit better. After waiting more than 20 minutes after finishing our salads for the entree we asked for more bread and he said "I think there is one basket left, let me see!""

"This was my first time at this wonderful place! There was a seating confusion & the student who tried to seat us was flustered and quiet, even when asked questions by us, but I looked at it as the perfect place for the young man to learn srvice skills! Oh to be that young again! Please look at any "problems" as learning gems for these students. Then you will appreciate eery bit of this wonderful restaurant. Our server was amazing. She was completely attentive, even though we had to remind her to bring the bread. She exclaimed, "Oh I always forget the bread!" Not what you'd say in a restaurant, but again, this is a school: Learning time! The food was fabulous and creative. The attention to its detail is praiseworthy. I appreciate the charm!"

"The food was excellent and was served with an artistic flair. White table linens and abundant young wait staff in professional dress gave an elegant touch to the lunch. It was a great value for the quantity and quality of food. The students were friendly, attentive and professional. They were personable when engaged in converstaion, enthusiastic about their studies and future work in the hospitality industry. A great experience - we'll be back."

"Usually we have no qualms about our experience, however, this time the French onion soup was rather bland and no cheese was added because "they did not want us to wait for our soup." I ordered a "chocolate drop" for dessert which consisted of a yellow gelatin in the shape of a drop with a small piece of chocolate leaning against it. There wasn't much chocolate hence it seemed like a misnomer for the dessert. The main entree of braised short ribs was excellent."

"portions were somewhat small; room was very crowded and nopisy although attractively decorated. The food was well-prepared, with one notable exception: I ordered a dish specifically because it came with sweet potatoe fries, and mine were so soggy as to be inedible. I wasn't the only diner who left them, untouched, on the plate. Dessert was excellent!"
