Vincent’s Restaurant

About Vincent’s Restaurant

Vincent’s is a teaching kitchen that supports education for students enrolled in Tourism and Hospitality Management courses.

Students have an opportunity to engage in learning as they experience working in a commercial kitchen, operating a restaurant business, or planning and organizing a catering event.

Having a facility like Vincent’s on campus allows our students the opportunity to apply the theory learned in their class(es) in a practical environment.

2026 Menu

Today’s Feature

Ask your server for today’s feature.

Each management team creates a unique feature for their restaurant opening.
During the term, each lab class operates three restaurant openings as part of their hands-on learning experience. Every student will take on the role of manager, line cook, and server once.
