   I have been to American Bounty many times and was disappointed this time. The table we were seated at was too large for our group, making it difficult to talk comfortably. It would have been much better to add an extra chair to a 4-top table to accommodate our group of 5. We had to keep requesting water, I requested lemon and 3 slices were brought for 4 people. Every course was delivered to the wrong person, one in the party was brought the wrong dessert and had to wait 10-15 minutes for the correct dessert (which she had to eat alone and it was not freshly baked/hot). There was a very long wait for checks and then for receipts. In my opinion, the food was not as good as previous visits. Maybe it was a new class?

   Just remember this is a teaching restaurant and make sure to go with the flow.

   Wonderful dining experience! Be for warned they accept cash but do not give change if you don’t have the exact fare. Yes it’s true as of this date 3/5/25. This seems very weird for one of the world’s premier culinary schools not able to make change when paying with cash. This doesn’t reflect the “real world” one would expect from a teaching institution. Credit cards are accepted.

    My high school friends and I visit once every year for lunch on the same Saturday of the year. The restaurant is lovely and bright. The service is attentive. The menu is seasonal and has an excellent variety of options to choose from. The food is always well prepared and the presentation is impeccable.
