Courses Restaurant

We joined our friends at the Culinary Institute of Michigan for lunch today. Their son is a chef and instructor at this unexpected gem in the shadow of the Bluewater Bridge.
The view from the dining room is breathtaking but is easily exceeded by the creative cuisine. I’m not one to gush but this was a true gastronomic delight.
The menu is limited because, after all, it is a school. However, this allows the staff and students to absolutely perfect the dishes they do offer.
Please view pictures we’ve posted of just a few of the plates we so thoroughly enjoyed. Then consider arranging a visit during their, unfortunately, very limited hours. It will be well worth your while and will serve to support and encourage these deserving students.

Okay, the «MAIN» thing to keep in mind here is that this is a «teaching» restaurant for the students attending Baker College’s Culinary School. (And remember that they have JUST opened and are in that adjustment period as well)
Having said that, this place is probably the finest dining (in terms of the food) that you’re going to find in Port Huron, period! Now, the restaurant itself isn’t much more than a room located inside of the Culinary Institute (which is right next door to the ol’ Edison Inn). The place offers nice views of the river. It’s quaint, but not much in terms of décor. I was hoping to see an «open-​kitchen» concept where we could actually see and hear everything that the chefs were doing. Instead, you get to look at a tv monitor that shows various locations of the kitchen (which are behind closed doors). The room does have a bar area (which is stocked with various drinks if you so please).
I won’t go into the various food choices that I ate, but everything I had was simply fantastic (with, perhaps the exception of the dessert). The menu is quite limited, but everything is moderately priced (apps from 3 to 5 dollars, salads from 3 to 4 dollars, and entrees from 7 to 12 dollars). Plus, they offer a 3-​course Prix Fixe Menu for 15 dollars. Now, about the desserts… they were good, but seemed like they had perhaps been made up ahead of time and taken out of the fridge (or freezer) when ordered.
The students are not only doing all of your cooking, they have students as the wait staff as well. Just keep that in mind, OKAY???
Reservations only… but if you live in the area and love great food, I see this as a MUST TRY for Port Huron!
They are only open Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. To make a reservation, please call 810−357−0875
