The the nicest, friendly service on the coast . The food outstanding. We are so lucky to have this in the junction. Love going back , when ever I can get in with my friends. Cheers 🥂
The service at the Culinary Academy is excellent! The staff is polite, attentive, responsive and gave our group a wonderful and delicious eating indulgence. The flavours were divine, meat tender and all three courses so beautifully plated and delightful. Our group already planning our next culinary experience!
Thank you Cally and the whole team in the kitchen, behind the bar and on the floor under the watchful eyes of Catarina and Phillip for a delicious meal with great service at terrific value. Can’t wait to come back for lunch!
We had a wonderful lunch. The training staff were attentive, professional and courteous, particularly our waiter, Hassan. The food was not only delicious, but beautifully plated. Thank you so much for a special lunch and good luck with your careers in the hospitality industry.
A delightful experience at lunch, presentation of all dishes exceptional. Look forward to our next visit.
