Always our meeting place. Cozy n nice food. After that will buy the pudding n bread home.
Quiet & comfortable ambiance. Readily gets to be tended to when need arises.
Service speed was slow. We waited quite long for the food. Taste wise was okay for the mains. We particularly like their bread and desserts.
The food was well seasoned and the plating was attractive!
Dropped a level on rating cos an error was made in food order. Food itemisation on bill is very disorderly & unintelligible, ought to improve.

Poor service. Beef cheek too dry. Mushroom soup very soury.
food average. students are quite nice and friendly . have went 4 tines
we are regular customer here. Staff are very polite & friendly
Mushroom soup was amazing. Salted egg pasta was flavoursome, except for the prawns which had no taste, as they didn't boil it in water with a pinch of salt. Was only a 3-course meal, but we felt stuffed after that. Was good. Asked for warm water, but was brought room temperature water. Was rectified after that. Lemongrass drink was good. Overll dining experienece nevertheless was great
Had a great time eating as place is nice. Friendly staff
Staff were wonderful. Nice place to eat. Great for family eating place
Nice food with good service and value for money. Thanks
There was a long wait for my soup course (from the lunch set menu). The turkey bacon was so hard that it was impossible to bite off a piece. I left the bacon uneaten. The soup was lacking salt. I don't take my food very salty, so if I find it lacking in salt, it really must have been very bland. I wonder if the chef did a taste test. After the soup, another long wait for the main course, which was duck confit. It was dry and parts of the outer layer were hard (obviously re-heated). My lunch companion wanted to order ala carte and was told some dishes were not available. As there is only a small list of ala carte items, she was severely limited by the choices available. Is there a kitchen staffing shortage on Saturdays? Service staff were very courteous, as was the lady behind the bakery counter.
we are regular customer here. always appreciate the staff attentiveness.
back again at this hidden gem of a place where i can get my flambé steak. thank you.
a unique kind of dining where the staff are students but without compromising the food and service standard.
Should extend their food and wine menu, only 1 kind of wine available.
The service and the food is good but ambient not so great it look more like a cafe instead of a restaurant
We are regular customer here. The staff here are very polite and the food is decent for the price
Service was v commendable. Ingredients are v fresh, portions are quite generous given the very reasonable price.
The service was slow and my sons steak was pretty raw though it was medium rare, ended up he had a stomach upset.
Salad to oily and mains u der seasoned and under welming
Can't expect much, as it is kinda a OJT for students, so they are better prepared for the working environment. The food was okay but could have been better.the atmosphere were to mimic Hotel setting, but please don't expect for hotel kinda finishes and standards, as it is still a School. The students are enthu to learn and of course there are hiccups here and there. Overall, can't expect much
The fish and chips is the best we ever had - the fish is fresh, the portion is generous including the sides - the French fries is crispy and tasty, and the salad is refreshing. Had the mushroom pasta too - it's totally yummy and that's why we are regular customers!
Not too bad and of course not the best.did not give me the trust 10% discount as promise by trust for presenting the trust card upon payment
The soup was good but it was warm instead of hot. Beef cheeks were delicious and should have been served with cooked vegetables instead of salad. Cheesecake was delicious.
Has always been serving yummy food and superb service. All of us enjoyed our meals
Very good no fuss restaurant. Excellent prices and I like the set menu. The service was fantastic and I like how they prepare certain dishes next to the table. It was a good casual evening dinner.
It started well...the freshly baked bun was delicious. My starter of mock abalone wss tasty albeit chewy. My guest's mushroom soup was thick n delicious. Thereafter it went downhill...duck confit ovrrcooked n dried out...she have fallen out the bone but edges wete like shoe leather. Pan fried salmon also overcooked. Fish n Chips...kudos to tssty crispy chips but fish batter was soggy. Guest left all of it uneaten. My pasta came 7 min after everyone else were served. Huge plate full of pasta but the prawns were not fresh....tasteless n let the dish down. Too much pasta. Left 60% uneaten. The desserts were back on form. Cheesecake n pandan cloud plus coffee were all good. Won't go ahain. Came from the east. Ling drive n really not worth the journey. Students shd be better supervised to cook decent entrees.
I am a regular customer. The service was very fast but there were limited vegetarian options.
Cosy place with friendly staff, great place for family with young children.
Dessert was great, the appetiser and mains were average. Service was below average too, as the waiters didn’t really attend to our needs. Food was affordable.
Nice food and reasonably priced. The spaghetti is delicious and plentiful.
Love the ambience and the amiable staff there. Have bring a a lot of friends there for dinner date and they are all impressed by the service and the food!! Definately a good place to catch up!
Good food and service. Great place for dining with friends, family or even alone 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very cozy dining atmosphere with good food and friendly staff.
We understand it is a culinary school n the students prepare the food for us with supervision. Though it took a bit of time for us to wait for the food, we are ok with it. We understand the students must be under stress to prepare the food but the quality of the food is excellent n we really enjoy it. We will definitely come back again. Just hope the dessert from the set has more choices cos we don’t like cheese cake.
Great! Good food and good service. The manager is very helpful and service orientated. Will definitely be back for more meals
always loved the food. Hope they can change the menu more often!
Great food and service. Had lunch and cannot resist the cakes/desserts and bought desserts for takeaway
Value for money set lunch. Service is fine. You need to ask if there's any lacking and the staff will assist.
It was a pleasant visit. The restaurant was quiet and conducive to conversation. The food was good and well presented but the temperature of the main dish could have been warmer: when I took my first bite, the pasta was already cold.
It’s my second visit. The entree selection doesn’t seem to change. I hope more different choices are available in future.
no queue, fast service, great for a student run restaurant
