Dear Valued Customers,

The Ambassador Training Restaurant is a TAFE NSW-licensed venue.

Demonstrating our reputation as a leader in education and training for hospitality and culinary students, the students practice delivering fine dining food & develop their skills within an operational environment.

As we are a licenced venue, BYO is not permitted. All dietary requirements must be advised in advance through your OpenTable platform booking. Meals will be served alternate drop, meaning you will not have a choice from the menu and will have limited facility for alterations.

Payments will be made after your meal (special functions excepted); we do not accept cash or split bills.

We only take reservations via OpenTable. For larger bookings of 7 people or more, please email ambassador.reservations@tafensw.edu.au

When I made the booking, I specified it was a birthday, but they didn't acknowledge that. What's the point of notifying the restaurant of your celebration if they choose to do nothing about it. In the past they used to bring a small cake with a candle for your celebration. I have been a guest of this place for the last 12 years. I hope they will go back to their previous service in regards to special celebrations.

Great food. Service great. Very minor feedback - server reached across another diner to clear the plates. Do they still have the convention of serving at the left of the diner?

Delicious menu including very light Gruyère soufflé tart, succulent ribs and creme caramel with best meringue ever. As always, bread baked on premises, is excellent.

Really great value for both food and drink at a TAFE training restaurant. $44 for a 3 course meal is outstanding and whilst the service can be a little clumsy or unrefined at times, this is to be expected from students only just starting to learn and hone their craft (Attended early May and students started late February) The added birthday message was a nice touch. Will definitely be back. Photos of dessert (Baked Wattle Seed Cheesecake with Davidson plum and pear crisps & Matcha Sponge with white chocolate and lemon myrtle mousse)
