I have Celiac and don't always have confidence that our server understands and appreciates what I can or cannot eat. Melissa was WONDERFUL and I felt safe eating the options she helped me to select. Would definitely go back!

This is such a favorite for us! The students create delicious meals with creativity, presence and passion. Every bite is delicious and created as an edible symphony of flavors. They put so much of themselves into the menus they create, prepare and serve every single time. The restaurant location on Traverse Bay is breathtaking as well. I cannot say enough about this dining experience and the pride each student takes in this marvelous restaurant!
