Our server was not very good. Some our food was not warm. Our own company was the best thing of our experience tonight. We have been to Cafe Laura alot over the years and this was probably our worst experience.

I love this Cafe. My friend group met here a lot to eat and hangout for lunch. It’s a hidden gem. The food is a bit expensive, but also for the quality, that is a bit more understandable. Definitely recommended it!

This was my first visit to the Cafe. I was more than a little disappointed in the quality of my food as well as the service. I ordered calamari ($8) as an appetizer, which was very good, however, my entree (veal Marsala ($22), was chewy and bland. Our bread was served cold and the oil that accompanied it had an over abundance of rosemary. When my appetizer was served, the waiter served it from the other end of the table and reached across the person beside me saying “Pardon my reach.”When the floor manager addressed our dining table, his introduction began with, “How are you guys doing tonight?” We were a table of mature women, not “guys!” In addition, our server couldn’t remember who ordered what and seemed to forget about us when it was time to pay our bill. Finally, I would NOT have left an 18% tip!

I reserved a dinner here. Entree is good quality. Appetizers are good try. Service has room for improvement. I understand that. It's student training.

Only opens for few hours, but extremely good food and service, with perfect pricing. Menu changes every day, and I love the surprises.

I was very excited to go to cafe laura and grab some breakfast. I had heard great things about the bacon egg and cheese on ciabatta. Unfortunately when I got there, some dolt in front of me took the last bacon egg and cheese! I was furious, and would have left a scathing review, if not for the kindness and warmth of the manager, Ryan. He convinced me that the chicken and waffle dish was just as good, and after I tried it, he was right. Thank you Ryan, for turning my poor experience into a fantastic one.

We dined at Hell's Kitchen last evening. The food was fabulous. The pork tenderloin was cooked to perfection! The tasting hot sauces were a great addition for the theme and also delicious. The students transformed the space well. The personal service from the student managers, our student server, and the instructor was the best I have experienced in Central PA in a long time! Kudos to the management team! How to improve for round two? Guest appearance by Gordon Ramsay?

Nice hospitality student run restaurant on campus. Great custom salads here for $6.99. A better deal than Au Bon Pain in Kern.

Make sure you stop by on March 29, 2012 for a Sicilian styled theme dinner put on by HRIM students. You won't be disappointed. Make your reservations today at cafelaura.psu.edu

High-end restaurant run by HRIM students, and they accept meal points and LionCash! Go to one of their many themed dinners for an extra-special night.
