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 decor. 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!!
