    We had a truly amazing experience at the College of Food Restaurant. The service was excellent, pleasant and friendly. The food was delicious. Even the fire alarm going off in the middle of our meal and having to evacuate the building did not spoil our meal. We really could not fault anything. Would highly recommend. The staff should be very proud of the students they are fabulous.

    I thought it was an excellent overall experience. Good venue. Superb quality food. Service was good though a little hesitant. The student waitress was very polite and worked hard. Exceptional value and its great to eat in a restaurant where you can communicate with your guests and hear them! No blaring music! Highly recommended!

    A unique experience where food was very good in association with staff members that brim with the enthusiasm of having just commenced their new careers in the food industry. My only advice for the college would be to enable the tipping of staff through card payment. Alas we had no cash and therefore were unable to tip for the very good service received.
