The Dining Room at Kendall College

Experience contemporary and exquisite dining on the Kendall College campus with extraordinary views of the city skyline. Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management students prepare and serve dinner in this living classroom.

The Dining Room at Kendall College is committed to sustainability. The menu is seasonal and takes advantage of our very own herb and vegetable garden as well as fresh ingredients from the nearby Green City Market.

The Dining Room is open for lunch and dinner service. Reservations are strongly recommended as hours in The Dining Room may vary by school term and student/staff availability. Reserve online at OpenTable or call 312.752.2328.
