What a sheer delight! I had all my three courses from the students' special menu! Hubby had 2 off the main menu. Everything was delicious and served beautifully. The students did a wonderful job; I can't praise them and their instructors enough. Here's pics of the blueberry-lemon cake and chocolate sphere.

What an incredible experience! Beautiful view of the city, creative and delicious tasting menu, and excellent conversations with the students. The seasonal cocktail upon arrival was a delightful blood orange spritzer, the shitake mousse amuse bouche exploded with flavor, the salmon tartare looked like it was dish straight from the beach, the mushroom tamale was an intriguing combo of flavors…I scraped every last bit of sauce out of it, the espresso filet and potato side melted in the mouth, the green tea and toast dessert was a coconut delight with a perfect complement of mango. And the cappuccino was perfectly dry. Thank you to Calum for taking amazing care of us tonight and answering all of our questions.

For a fixed price, the three-course meal was absolutely fantastic. I had an amazing experience, and our server, Zeus—who’s nearly finished with the program—was exceptional. I’m definitely going back!

Our first experience tonight was really great. The talented students prepare interesting dishes, present the food beautifully, and hustle to make the dining experience excellent. It’s impressive work done cheerfully!

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.

Morgan Mason was amazing!!! We had the full experience and the food was great, but Morgan’s service REALLY stood out. He was so kind and gave amazing detail about the food we were given. I would definitely dine with him again!
