Came here last week with some of my boys from the frat house for a nice lunch. Our chef at the frat house likes to put starlite in our food which is an alkali builder for laundry and it’s nasty so we eat out a lot. This place is a nice fine dining restaurant and its student run so that’s nice ! Good food I got a salad and my friend Adam, Tyler and Kyle got steak, mashed potatoes and a bunch of other weird dishes. We laughed loud and had an amazing experience here we will definitely be returning! Guess what this food isn’t made by our crappy frat house chef !! Even better! We all eat shirtless but here it’s fine dining so we can’t do that unfortunately.

Great student run venue with good food and wine. Filet and halibut were outstanding. Student waitstaff was top notch. Decor could use help from the design collage of UD. Seated in the back is a bland room which needs design help. Not as inexpensive as you might think. Will go again!

My party of 4 enjoyed our lunch buffet experience. The food and service was wonderful. Mohammad and Nick were exceptional! Thank you both! We would love to return for dinner.

Get a reservation, I believe they may only be open during UD semesters due to students being the servers. Foods great, nice atmosphere, little pricey but definitely worth a try.

This is a great place to go for a special meal. The food is prepared and served by UD Hospitality students. I’ve never been disappointed. Order the nitro cream and watch the students make it at your table.
