We were in the area and decided to try the pastries from Apply Pie Bakery at the Culinary Institute for a lunch. They have a fairly large and diverse selection, all made by the students. After purchasing our pastries, we went out to the fountain garden at the front of the main building and sat on one of the shaded benches and enjoyed our lunch.

The Culinary Institute is a beautiful campus with many attractive building spread over several hill. It is well worth a visit. There are four restaurants serving different cuisines. We had previously tried the American restaurant so this time we went with the French. The ambience is attractive and the service staff (all trainees) was very attentive. The food was not quite as good as we expected. The appetizers were very good and we were even served some complimentary excellent oysters. Three of our four entrees were very good but I was disappointed with the duck breast that I had ordered. I'm not sure how it was prepared but it was very bland and did not look like any duck breast I had ever seen before. That was the main reason I did not give Bocuse a rating of excellent.

Who knew ???? We've driven by this at least a hundred times....and thought yeah that's not going to happen... an older colonial building. Painted purple. A history of failed restaurants. Serving Japanese.... in Pleasant Valley...nope... but friends reported good things so we decided to try it ...WCGW...well it was great.... extremely fresh fish excellent rolls ... a huge menu and endless choices.... don't worry about the atmosphere ... there is none...I'm guessing that 90% of their business is take out...our was the only table....but again ... the food was superb .... totally unexpected !!!! Just do it.....

Have been there for Tea Parties and just desserts. I must say, everything was very good. The desserts are especially so. We have even purchased whole cakes and pies to go! I am not sure which ones are my favorites! There is a set menu each day and a number of pies and cakes to choose from. I would definitely say you need to try each cake and pie! Enjoy!

Athena restaurant is awesome!!. Finally a place that serves authentic gyros; not the frozen patties that the "greek diners" pass off as gyros. The greek food here is delicious and the owner is very nice and accommodating to his customers - very friendly staff.

After touring the CIA we had the wonderful experience of dining at this restaurant. This was the first time my kids had experienced this type of service and food. They throughly enjoyed the experience.
Our group was served a three course meal with bread. The Parker rolls are baked fresh every morning and are amazing! We enjoyed a beautiful salad and main course. The majority of the group had chicken, some salmon and some vegetarian. I started out with the salmon but there were mussels on the plate and I am allergic to shellfish. When I informed the servers, they quickly removed the plate and several minutes later brought back a delicious risotto dish with wheat berries, heirloom tomatoes, spinach, goat cheese, pears, maitake mushrooms, and roasted parsnips. They didn’t just throw this together —it was a beautiful plate and absolutely delicious. The dessert was the highlight—chocolate lava cake with a tangy sorbet. It was heavenly.
Overall, the plates were attractive and beautifully conceived. The food was top quality and loved the fact that it was sourced from local farms. The waiters and cooks are students and they put their best foot forward. This is the best restaurant experience our family has ever had. We will definitely come back.

Perfect quick lunch spot next to the stairs leading up to the East Gate of the walkway. We had delicious sandwiches (Philly Cheesesteak & turkey/brie pannini). The menu also has salads and soups. I saw some nice-looking desserts too. A good find right where we needed it.
