This was one of the best lunches we've ever had. The food was great, service excellent, views spectacular and even the weather cooperated. If you're in the area, it should not be missed! More

Wouldn't you think that a restaurant at the Culinary Institute of America would be incredible? We did and were certainly not disappointed!!! An incredible menu and winelist and outstanding service in the most beautiful setting you could ever imagine!!! More

We actually ended up having a couple of lunches and a dinner at the CIA's Greystone restaurant. The fact that the up and coming Chefs are being trained there is another great reason to go. The food is fresh and new, some of the samples are very interesting flavours and textures. The wine list is fantastic, there are hidden vintages... More

Last Saturday, a good friend and I went to lunch at Greystone. I had previously gone there with my husband, but enjoyed the lunch even more this time. We made reservations (since it was a Saturday) for 11:30 AM - just when the restaurant opened. We sat outside in a table overlooking the vineyards. Our waitress, Jan, was so considerate,... More

We were three women on a recent Friday night (we had reservations) and sat at an outdoor table with a superb view. The service, food, wine, etc. were all great and we had a lovely meal. More

We really enjoyed the food, did the olive oil tasting (3 types), I had the wine tasting (5 types). Book a table in advance! Your dinner is made by the graduate students with supervision of the instructors. The kitchen is complete open so that you can actually see your meal being prepared. The building is just great, I heard it... More

The unique experience at Greaystone-or any of the other Culinary Institute restaurants-like those at Hyde Park- is unique as the future chefs (students) are the waiters.Their enthusiasm and ability to explain each dish and the preparation that goes into each dish is always a joy to experience. We were lucky enough to be at Greystone three days before the final... More

We popped in here for a late lunch. I loved everything about it. The entree and dessert were absolutely delicious. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating since we didn't have reservations. I definitely would like to try one of their cooking lessons on the weekend. More
