Truly a five star experience. Students and instructors do put on a very nice presentation of fine food, ambiance, and excellent service. Early dinners are highly recommended as the birds eye view overlooking the east side from mauka to makai is breathtaking. Booking now is easier on yelp, so go book em’ now go.

Wonderful ocean views. Lots of room between tables. Servers are all students and they are working hard and trying their best. Good menu selection. Prices are market rate, but the portions are very large. Be prepared to take food home. Desert is included. Quality, taste, and presentation of the meal is excellent.

Sometimes the service can be slow as students are learning. Our waiter was very attentive to us, and sometimes fulfilled our needs before asking. Food was excellent compared to price paid. We has a nice view of Diamond Head!

Excellence food and service by kcc students. We went for a Sunday graduation brunch and the food was awesome. Great salads, entrees, omelette station and carving station. I would definitely go again. Add to the great food and service a beautiful view of East Oahu, including a spectator ocean view. Again, simply awesome

A really nice intimate venue for our 2019 Father’s Day brunch. Granted I had to make reservations 3 months ago but the KCC Culinary Arts students and their instructors put out a great spread, enough to compete with a regular restaurant. I got my crab legs and the prime rib was well seasoned. The fruit, salad and poke station was tasty and well stocked and prepared. The hot foods included Portuguese bean soup, grilled salmon, bacon, link and Portuguese sausages, ribs and chicken and dad’s favorite, powdered eggs! Another impressive station were the Bahnmi mini sliders with braised beef and fresh veggies.

I’d heard about the restaurant from friends and it took me 2 years to get a reservation because they are only open for (2) 2 month windows during spring and fall semesters for lunch and dinner. Reservation times become available for online booking on Open Table 30 days prior to the Restaurant start date, so I had to make a calendar reminder in November to be sure to get in this year. They were wonderful! The food was excellent, gourmet quality. They don’t have alcohol or much beverage choice aside from tea and water. To my knowledge, I don’t believe it is byob bc it is on school grounds, but it was not a problem for us. We’ll definitely be back.

Quite the gem. My auntie and uncle took the family for a Tuesday lunch. I had the salad, chicken sate with corn samosas, and a special app, kailua pig custard(extra $1). The food was all very tasty, and the service was very nice. The 2nd samosa was unnecessary, would have appreciated more asparagus instead.
