My family and I enjoyed a lovely brunch. The food was delicious, large portions and affordable. The service was good, there were a few hiccups with ordering and the bill at the end but overall good for students learning. I would go again.

This place is a hidden gem in Scarborough. Food is delicious, portions are great and service is friendly as well. Sometimes the staff can make mistakes but as they're students who are learning so it's fine. The dessert options were great as well for brunch. Will definitely be coming by again!Parking: You need to park behind the Restaurant in parking lot #3 or #4. They will validate your parking in the restaurant, just make sure not to lose it.

A hidden gem in Scarborough. They serve delicious food made with local ingredients for a very cheap price. The staff are students at the school and it’s always nice to encourage them.Parking: Free parking on the weekend. Paid parking during the week.

The chocolate cookies I purchased today were firm and not freshly baked, despite confirming they were made today.

The food tastes good, but there are a lot of staff, but a little lack of attention. For example, the soup is served but there is no spoon.

Interesting to visit a restaurant that is mostly student run. Lunch menu and dinner menu is the same.We visited during the lunch service and food was mostly good. We ordered a Jerked Cornish Hen. During that time 3 different tables including ourselves complained about it being undercooked. The explanation is that it is cooked sous vide then grilled after. The meat was still transparent not pink. Neither the supervisor or cook gave a strong enough explanation. The dish was just raw.Great concept, the instructors need to do a better job.Parking is expensive and the parking mentioned in front of the restaurant is very limited.

Cheap food for college students but some of the staff were weirdly rude when i tried to go into the actual restaurant and not just the cafe. they kept telling me to check the website and i asked why cant i just get a table the just repeated themselves for me to check on the website confused i check the website and it said nothing. the restaurant was empty btw. so i just wont go to the sitting down portion of the place ever i guess
