Beautiful presentation, a delightful array of textures and colors and outstanding flavors. Wine paring was thoughtfully executed. A most for any occasion.

first thing we saw on arrival to parking lot was one of the students going out to the garden to select things for the kitchen. Saw that happen several times while we were there. All the chefs-in-training were very attentive, explained the food, were so well dressed and polite, friendly. It was a wonderful evening. And yes, we tried things we'd never heard of.

Loved the experience our waitress was amazing as was the beverage boy! The food was good but not phenominal! I loved 2 of the 4 courses but the last too fell short … a little too much seasoning and lack of flavor. I did the wine pairing which I realised was a mistake as I’m quite picky about the wines I drink- so my own fault! All in all I would do it again and loved the idea of helping out learning chefs and waitstaff

Overall great experience. My husband & I opted for the 4 course with wine pairing. Halibut Crudo Siciliano w/ preserved lemon salsa, capers, radish, mint appetizer was amazing. All wines were paired great with all of our courses, the 4th course being dessert. We chose Duck Ragu & Gnocchi as our 2nd course, both good, but portions very small. The Striped Bass Arrosto 3rd course was very well prepared. Service was top notch as well.

A wonderful place to visit. Reasonable price for a four-course meal. You have the option of pairing it with wine for an additional fee. And the 20% gratuity although may seem high, it goes towards the students and the cooking program. So well worth it!

What an AMAZING experience we had at Gatehouse Restaurant! Everything was perfect from the warm greeting to the kind, dedicated service we received from Josie ... as well as everyone else. The FOOD was incredible ... every course was perfect and they accommodated for my gluten allergy with ease too! We all rated it a 10 out of 10! We will definitely be back!
