This student (Culinary Institute of America) run restaurant is so good and affordable. You can choose three or four courses and have many choices as to what you want for each course. You can also do a wine pairing or simply order from their bar, which is excellent. Go support these incredible students and enjoy a wonderful dinner for a good price compared to most places.

Everything about Savor was excellent. Food, service and atmosphere. This restaurant is part of the Culinary Institute which provides its last semester graduating students a real top notch experience. Chef Fabien Jacob has Savor running like a 5 Star and Michelin recognized restaurant. The service (students) were all on point, courteous and professional. The selections were broad, bold and prepared with perfection. Wine pairing were spot on. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

Celebrating our culinary daughters Sweet 16 at Savor was an experience we will remember forever. From the moment we arrived we were treated with unmatched hospitality. Our Maitre d’ Fabian was so gracious and kind. He made us feel appreciated and gushed over our birthday girl wonderfully. Even presented her with a gift for her culinary future. The entire meal - every single course was delicious with flavors that danced on our tongues. The staff served us flawlessly and paid close attention to our every need. Kudos to Mason and Noah and their entire team for making our night perfect in every way. If you are seeking a dining experience - one that they will remember forever - this is your destination.

Given elite Chefs and their students, of which are fantastic and the plates are phenomenal! The culinary institute on the inside seating is in my opinion a little ihop-ish. The experience of My taste buds dancing around made all that fade away!

I went for the first time today with a good friend. We had excellent service from Corinna, who is set to graduate August 9th from this Culinary Institute! We ordered the 4-course plus a few extras we just had to try! The menu changes every 3 months. We got to try some octopus, lamb chop, branzino fish, and for dessert a cherry pie, chocolate mouse, & charcuterie plate of sorts. It’s like a 5-star dining experience at a reasonably priced place since they are student chefs. Wonderful food & we are eager to go back soon! Cheers from The Street Angel!
