Hyde Parkers: Is eating at the CIA worth the cost?
3 Answers
It is absolutely worth it! The food is amazing the service is fabulous and the location is great. When eating at the CIA restaurants the food is presented as a piece of art leaving you hesitant to mess it up. Once you eat it, the taste leaves you speechless. I had a great experience every time I ate the CIA. Go ahead and treat yourself to a wonderful experience. Keep in mind that the restaurants operate only when school is in session and reservation well in advance is a must.
I recently had lunch at St Andrew Cafe on the campus and it was a great experience. The food was excellent and because the staff are all students they aren't able to accept tips. The restaurants do add a 14% tip to each bill which goes towards scholarships, student activities, etc. If you go, be sure to speak to your wait staff about their experience. Everyone seems to love it there! And make your reservation well in advance.
Absolutely! I recommend the Italian room, but the restaurants are really not any pricier than any other good restaurants in the area.
