Let me begin by saying that we have been At Savor at least 5 times before. Obviously, we would not continue to go if we had bad experiences there. Quite the opposite the students and also the professors are extremely helpful. They always know the ingredients, how things were prepared, why they made the choices they made and so forth. The staff is more helpful than any staff at any other restaurant I have ever been at. The food is very creative and the portions are the right sizes. I find that many restaurants try to make it up for average quality with and excessive heaping plate full of food. Now clearly you do not get all this inexpensively. It is not unusual to $100 per person, 4 courses and paired wines.
