"Atmosphere is great and I don’t mind the teaching that goes along for the students during dinner at all. The student chefs are super talented and almost everything came out perfectly. They used a lot of techniques in the cooking that was evident. It’s basically a high end meal for only $50."

It took me 2 years, and I finally was able to get a reservation for the lunch buffet. I was super excited.  Overall, I think the food was decent especially the strip loin roast and salmon.  The selection was plentiful.  I didn't try any desserts coz I was too full, but they all looked really good.  Most notably, the service was excellent: friendly, sincere and attentive.  I was really impressed.  Our student server's put many professional servers, even at high end restaurants, in shame.  Thank you, Issac, for taking such good care of us and keep up the good work.Of courses, there were some rough edges but one has to take into consideration that this is a training place for students, and that...

I've been here twice for dinner and once for lunch in the past 5 months. I am actually going again tonight for dinner.<br/ <br/ The fixed price dinner is not cheap, but well worth the price given the quality of the food and the presentation. <br/ <br/ The menu does not change too often and it seems that there are certain dishes that repeat from one menu to the next. Tonight's menu is the same that I had in February, but slightly different from what I had in October 2016.<br/ <br/ The wine and cocktails are reasonably priced, but are on top of the fixed price dinner $48).<br/ <br/ The service can be a bit hit or miss as the students are in training, but it is never rude or unpleasant.

I’m not quite sure how anyone could assess the Highwood experience any lower than a “4”!! I’ve been going here with friends for almost 20 years. Everyone I take here wants to be included the next time we go. <br/ The food, the service, and the environment is amazing. They use the best ingredients supervised by red seal chefs. Well done Sait. I award you 5 stars <br/
