Always a joy to dine at a culinary school, and Highwood did no disappoint! We were seated (after a bit of a challenge locating it on the campus; more signage would be good!) in a quiet corner of the very attractive and welcoming dining room. The cocktails and wine choices were excellent; our entrees of rack of lamb and duck done 2 ways were cooked perfectly. The focaccia could have had much less oil; the center was still a teeny bit doughy. Dessert was light and tasty. Overall a delightful experience for all 3 of us, with very charming service!
