Great value for 3 course meal. Students do a great job of serving. The addition of succulents and fresh flowers really adds to this large room. I think there were some plastic plan

Lovely restaurant. There were four of us and we all loved it. Delicious food and well sized portions (not too big so you can fit a dessert)

Food & service great. Nervous but delightful & attentive wait staff eager to please. Drinks could have been colder-perhaps their fridge needs readjusting. Will definitely go again

About the restaurant

Practice makes perfect right?

That’s what they say. And that’s exactly what the Grand Dining Room helps aspiring hospitality students do - practice. When you eat in the grand dining room you will be served by first year students who are learning hands on management skills among many others. Treat yourself to a three course lunch or dinner for just $35 and enjoy dishes like roast rump of spring lamb, parmesan crusted supreme of chicken and vegetable parmigiana. Don’t let the student curve ball turn you off. You’ll be treated to tip top service and a fine meal at the Grand Dining Room.

Best dish: Roast rump of spring lamb, with smoky eggplant puree, rosemary potatoes and pimento coulis
