As a school rooted in real-world education, our restaurants also serve as a training ground for hospitality and culinary students, who learn how to perfect the art of service and craft delicious dishes. For a special treat, reserve a table at our fine-dining restaurant (hosted in the Grand Hall at Lakeside Campus) to experience hospitality at its finest.
