Wonderful dinner in a fun and sorta romantic interior courtyard. Served by students of the culinary school which means they are attentive albeit unpolished—you are part of the learning process which is very cool. The food is student prepared under the supervision of an executive chef—delicious and as good as any restaurant. The desserts are made by the pastry students and as a dessert fan—fantastic! Don’t hesitate bc it’s all students—free onsite parking lot which is a home-run in west philly! Enjoy!

This is a gem of a place to go. You can get a table on a Saturday night, the place is special to sit in (French setting in an indoor courtyard) and we were shocked how good the food was. All except the escargot.

A beautiful space and free adjacent parking. The food is okay but not worth the entree prices, mostly in the mid $30 range. The student servers try to be accommodating but forget the most basic rules.
