Tartan Terrace Restaurant

tartan terrace, student chef,

As part of the Culinary, Baking, and Pastry Arts Department at Sinclair Community College, the Tartan Terrace is proud to offer a unique dining experience in our student-operated restaurant. Open during the last month of each semester (typically November, April, and occasionally June), our restaurant serves as a hands-on learning lab for our students.

As a "Learning Lab Experience" students are our number one priority. Every dish and service you enjoy with us is crafted by our students as they work to complete their curriculum and meet accreditation requirements from ACPHA and the ACF. From homemade breads and pastries to four-course meals, international buffets, and seven-course tasting menus, each service showcases the skills and creativity of our future culinary professionals. The dining room experience is also student-run, ensuring they gain comprehensive knowledge of front-of-house operations.

Reservations and Policies:

Reservations are required and can only be made through our website. The more guests we can serve, the better and more detailed feedback we will receive for our students. To help us maximize this learning opportunity, we kindly ask guests to make only one reservation per day and to wait until the following day to book another date.

Please note that we are a cashless establishment. We accept VISA and MasterCard for your convenience. Additionally, tipping is not allowed. Instead, we encourage you to complete a customer survey after your visit. This feedback serves as "gratuity" and is shared with our students to enhance their learning experience.

Additional Information: Our menu changes frequently to align with the curriculum and highlight seasonal ingredients. Prices reflect current food costs and are designed to support our educational mission.

Thank you for supporting our students as they prepare for successful careers in the culinary and hospitality industries. We look forward to serving you!
