Kendall College! The student & instructor staff provides a wonderful dining experience. With a prix fixe-only menu which has a nice variety, and really delivers. Appetizer plates and main course were standouts. Fresh, artful presentation meets on-point execution. Perfect seasonings. Quite satisfying. Service was very good as well. No complaints whatsoever. Best part is the tips are added to a fund for underprivileged students to assist with scholarships. Heartwarming! Go!
Great price for a 3-course prix fixe, decent wine list and mock-tail options. Staff were attentive. Great views of Milennium Park. Food presentation is insta-gram worthy. Food was really good, nice to try new things at a fraction of the price elsewhere. Will def go again. These are the culinary stars of tomorrow. Edit 7/24/23 - The college is hosting a series for different countries (Italy, France, Spain). Went to the Spanish night dinner. Enjoyable meal, highly recommend.
This was an experience of similar quality to another restaurant I've been to that has a Michelin star. The food served was delicious but I cannot express how amazing the service and presentation were. Definitely going to come back.
It was a warm summer night in Chicago and this restaurant was on point with smiles and service. I am a student in the Kendall College Culinary Certificate Program. I am not saying what I am saying, because I am a student there. The students who served us are in a different program. The living classroom experience is definitely something people should check out when they go to a restaurant in downtown. Some of these Students are in their 'Origin Story' to wherever their culinary journey takes them. Wouldn't it be awesome to have been served by a future Chicago Professional Chef? The atmosphere and food went hand in hand. They were both excellent. The taste of the food was on point. They did not overpower the main dish. The mocktails were very good too. I will be back this Thursday night. I am taking my Mom this time. There are not too many restaurants in downtown Chicago that have a beautiful view of Millennium Park for the price and service. You cannot beat it.
The dining experience was excellent, featuring a unique concept where students create their own dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish we ordered; they were all delicious. The drinks were enjoyable, and the service was exceptional. Considering the price, this experience is unbeatable. Furthermore, the restaurant offers a great view of Millennium Park. I would certainly revisit in the future.
Out of all the wonderful things I did on a recent visit to Chicago, this was my favorite. The food was delicious and so beautifully plated. The students and instructor were friendly and informative. The view out the windows was amazing. You could see into the open kitchen and watch the magic take place. Afterwards we enjoyed looking at the students’ wedding cakes in the display cases in the lobby. Highly recommend. Also, we had bar seats but we could still see out the windows.
3 courses dinner of very reasonable price and also drinks! Serving was a bit slow and amateur but it was totally fine. Because they are still learning. Dishes were delicious, even complimentary bread was really good. I was obsessed with a sourdough bread. If it was available, I would take out one. It was really pleasant experience to meet and talk with culinary students. I would like to visit again anytime soon.
Wonderful dining experience. Delicious food, warm and welcoming service. Attentive staff. Great price for a 3course prix fixe menu. The food plating and presentation was really nice. Beautiful and pleasant ambience, best view Magnificent mile.
