Cafe Laura - University Park

My experience at the Cafe was disappointing. The calamari appetizer was good, but the veal Marsala entree was chewy and bland. The bread was served cold with overly rosemary-infused oil. The service was lacking, with the waiter reaching across the table and addressing us as "guys" when we were mature women. The server also struggled to remember our orders and forgot about us when it was time to pay the bill. Overall, I was not happy with my experience and would not recommend leaving a large tip.

I made a dinner reservation at this restaurant. The main course is of good quality. The appetizers are worth a try. The service could use some improvement, but I understand that it is because the staff are still in training.

We dined at Hell's Kitchen last evening. The food was fabulous. The pork tenderloin was cooked to perfection! The tasting hot sauces were a great addition for the theme and also delicious. The students transformed the space well. The personal service from the student managers, our student server, and the instructor was the best I have experienced in Central PA in a long time! Kudos to the management team! How to improve for round two? Guest appearance by Gordon Ramsay?

Cafe Laura has helped build future genrations of Hospitality leaders in both food and service. The enhanced design is now ready for the next gen of students.

I absolutely adore this Cafe. My friends and I often gather here to enjoy a meal and socialize for lunch. It's a hidden treasure. While the food may be a bit pricey, the quality more than justifies it. I highly recommend it!
