We Invite You to Dine in Our Culinary Classroom

The John Holley Dining Room is a beautiful facility that opens its culinary season with a variety of "classes" available to the public simulating an operating restaurant. This classroom is named in honor of Mr. Holley for his contributions, leadership and passion to the Culinary Program during his 14-year teaching career at the College.

This state-of-the-art classroom allows instruction that integrates industry technology, systems and innovation. Students experience quality “hands-on” learning by interacting with dining guests. Each Fall and Spring this classroom serves à la carte luncheon menus, banquet-style “Cuisines of the World” menus and in the Spring a magnificent dinner featuring frequently changing menus that emphasize the classical French cuisine as was prepared during the lifetime of Escoffier.

We consider the John Holley Dining Room, located on the first floor of the Advanced Technology Center, to be a place for diners to meet and enjoy the atmosphere, ambience and culinary delights that our students create. At the same time, we remember that this is a classroom and that properly combining fine service and food is work as both an art and as a practice. Reservations are required.
