    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

    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!

    The service was great. The students did a really nice job in their preparation as well as their delivery. Wishing them all as a transition to the next phase.

    Wonderful service . Space was a bit cramped but acceptable. Wish the portion of the dishes can be bigger
