Anniversary dinner at the hospitality school

Our anniversary was on Tuesday, so for fun I booked us a dinner at a hospitality school in North Sydney. The school is called William Blue, and the school has a student-run restaurant. All the reviews I read about it said that the food was very good, and the service was mainly described as "over-eager" and "awkward." What more could you want from a fine dining experience!?

So on Tuesday, T and I met at the school/restaurant after work for our dinner adventure. The dining area wasn't particularly fancy, and we were the only ones there. There were, however, about five student servers and two supervisors pacing around!

In the kitchen, there were about six students and two chefs.

Basically, we had great service!

The food itself was OK. It was from a small menu: three appetizer options, three mains, and three desserts to choose from. It all had the potential to be really good, but overall it was just pretty good - maybe a little bland? It was still really fun to order and then hear the chefs coaching the students on the preparation!

Our food was: a goat cheese soufflé, a field mushroom tart, and chocolate mousse.

The best part of the evening was that we got all that food, plus wine, plus basically our own personal chefs and severs for $70! Plus, it was fun talking to the students. So it was a very fun night.
