    I thought that all went well for this was a belated birthday gift for me and my neighbor. A treat/gift that I selected as a choice eating arrangement. I was last here many years ago to treat my late Mother for Mother's Day and surprisingly in the same room. All the service was great except for dessert. Heavily in conversation I did not realize my dessert was not what was ordered nor my neighbor's. Half way through we exchanged but did not report it. It happens! If there is a grievance I would mention to the person doing salads that a lighter dressing would have served better with the grilled peach (salad) because the lettuce was so light not like a romaine and kale or arugula. Instead it was a heavy dressing with grated cheese causing the delicate greens to wilt and loose its vibrancy. Like a wine, you want to match the aroma and taste with what is being served. Come to think of it, with the banana dessert my neighbor go the platter was too large for what was being served and so by the time it reached the table it was half melted. A smaller dish - rectangular with an indentation for the ice cream and the other items inline with it. The gingerbread oatmeal dessert was in the prefect container like a parfait container. The ice cream did not melt so fast because of the sides of the glass. These are my only observations. The food was still very good. Kudos to the servers and cooks.

    My pea soup appetizer and chicken schnitzel were perfect! So delicious. I wanted to get dessert but every choice had at least one dairy component (cream, pudding, ice cream). I can't digest it. I was surprised there were no non dairy options since there were vegan entree options. I hope you will add one.

    The food was good and the desserts were fabulous. However the service was sub par at best. I know this is a teaching restaurant however our server took our drinks and appetizer order, then came back and took our appetizer order again. 2 out of 4 of us ordered appetizers. When the appetizers came out they put them in front of the two who didn't order them. Our main course was fine. They took our dessert order we ordered 5 desserts and two of us ordered coffee. 4 desserts came out. No coffee. We asked for coffee again. We got coffee had to ask for the fifth dessert again. 5th dessert finally came out after we had finished all the other desserts. Only once we're we asked if we wanted more to drink

    Excellent and original food menu from appetizers to dessert. The students are very eager to please. The dining room could use a refresh. The decor hasn’t changed in years. I love that they offer local beers, wine, and spirits. It took us a long time to receive our bill and an even longer time for our waiter to take it. Overall a lovely evening and I look forward to returning.

    Portions were small, skimpy even. They tasted delicious, but a starch is cheap, and I got 3 small pieces of sweet potato. No dairy free options for dessert. For a teaching school, that isn’t realistic

    Food and service was excellent. The only ding on stars is the cost. Just my wife and I were $200, but we both had appetizer, entrée, desert, glass of wine and cocktail, so we really didn't split anything. The staff like to get your feedback on the food throughout the meal. The gentleman we had as our waiter was very nice, would answer any questions (or find the answers). Atmosphere was very nice and felt upscale.

    Visited on a Tuesday evening for dinner. The ambiance was very nice and all staff were friendly and attentive. Appetizers were very tasty and well prepared. However, we were a disappointed with the entrees. The duck was undercooked and lacked much taste. We were never informed that wine was available by the bottle, so we ended up ordering by the glass. Previous experiences at the other CIA restaurants was much better.

    We were disappointed with a few things- One of the waiters wasn’t paying attention to what we had, and refilled one of our glasses with regular water instead of sparkling water. They fixed it, but we expected better. The portion size was crazy small- especially the Caesar salad. The waiter mixed up the drinks for the ladies, even though the garnish was very different and should be easy to tell apart. My clam chowder had very few clams in it. The steak I had was very small and a little tough. Needed salt. The espresso was TINY and cold. Not even half an ounce. Desserts were good, but a little on the small side. Not worth the high price.

    I have been here several times before and had a positive experience. This time both the food and the service were off. For example we had to ask for bread, and were served soup without a spoon. When we asked about food items the explanations were anemic. The cioppino had one scallop, one small piece of fish, and the “broth” was more like arrabiata pasta sauce ( very thick). Our server seemed grumpy and unengaged.
