ABOUT

Walnut Hill College distinguishes itself from other hospitality schools with its four on-campus restaurants, which are open to the public.

In each of our restaurants, ambiance and cuisine collide to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience that guests won’t soon forget. From our classic Bistro Perrier to our modern Great Chefs room, guests can explore diverse menus and receive exceptional food and service–all provided by our students. Our resident sommelier has also carefully curated a wine list that has won The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year for over a decade. We look forward to treating you to a memorable night of fine dining.
