Visited The Highwood for the first time understanding it was a teaching restaurant. The price for a 5 course meal is very reasonable and the food is well presented/plated and of great quality. Our favourite courses were the butternut squash soup and the entrees (lingcod and gnocchi). Our only area of improvement would be that we would love to see the waitstaff explain what's on the dish a little upon arrival to the table. During our salad courses we were not sure the sauces being used and would have enjoyed an explanation.
If you go here you need to be patient with the students and encouraging and remember we were all new to our roles once too. Will go back for sure!
