   This was my first time dining at CIA, which has long been on my bucket list. We went for the price-fixed lunch and everything we ordered was attractively presented, a generous portion, and delicious! It was a much more refined, upscale dining experience than I expected. The student servers were excellent (we seemed to have a different server for each item that was put on the table!) We traveled almost an hour and a half to dine here and it was well worth it. Can't wait to return!

   The quantity of the food was very less. Not much options for cocktails and kids menu.

   The atmosphere is so modern for a CIA restaurant. Very talented students with hospitality as their main focus. Will definitely return soon.

   Delicious lunch at CIA Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York at French restaurant Bocuse, run by the students at CIA. We did the lunch $45 price fix-what a deal and food was great!

   It was wonderful overall! Proud to see the students work hard and hope to see the restaurant evolve with them. Consider offering new deserts as most were underwhelming. The Pear Meringue was the best!

   Sadly did not meet expectations. Nothing spectacular about the whole dining experience. Food was subpar. Rookie mistakes in the service.

   Wow wonderful evening. Everything waS perfect. Service top notch Food beyond amazing. Thank you! We had a private dining room and it was the perfect room for a siblings and spouses reunion, birthday and a 50 wedding anniversary, and a CIA alum. We traveled from four different states to gather specially to dine at CIA Thanks for making our weekend extra special.

   The food was delicious and the menu options were great. We had the ice cream made table side which was a fun experience! Very good service! Highly recommend this restaurant.
