"The Apotheca, an event at the Culinary Institute, was more than just a fantastic culinary experience. It also highlighted the graduating students' skills in the culinary arts. The theme of the event was impressive, with detailed explanations of natural ingredients and their health benefits. I especially enjoyed the Botanical Garden showcasing various herbs and their uses in enhancing flavors and promoting health. Dining in the Great Hall with music in the background created a magical atmosphere. The Culinary Institute staff and professors showed passion in praising their graduating students. I was pleased to learn about the institute's partnership with the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley and commend the donors for their contributions to the benefit auction. Dr. Raimundo Gaby's humor and personality as the Master of Ceremony added to the celebration, displaying enthusiasm for his students and culinary excellence. Apotheca, the everlasting bloom, provided an unforgettable culinary experience."

"I only had time to visit this restaurant on CIA's campus, but the sensational food here makes me want to return to sample other restaurants. Simply put...it was a fantastic meal. Due to COVID restrictions, the restaurant was offering a limited menu. One of the student workers noticed that we were having difficulty making a entrée choice and quickly gave us the lowdown on what was best on the menu, including the chicken pot pie and the mac and cheese. Both of those were delicious! I'm not a fan of chicken pot pie, but this was extraordinary. The crust was light and flaky and the pie's contents were cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese was excellent as well. After tasting those two entrees, I was a little sad that I didn't choose either of those and opted for the turkey sandwich. The sandwich was very good but due to the restrictions, it had become a little too cold in the refrigerator which made the bread a little chewy. I don't place any blame on the students or the restaurant however. It was a terrific experience and I enjoyed a pleasant lunch which is a little harder for me to accomplish nowadays. Almost forgot do yourself a favor and save room for the tasty baked goods the students have prepared you won't be disappointed. Will definitely return."

"Overall, we enjoyed our lunch. The student servers were sincere and tried hard to make our meal enjoyable. However, the first course Tartiflette, which is basically potatoes au gratin, was very undercooked. The potatoes were crunchy and very hard. Apparently, that is how they're supposed to be. Seriously?? Who enjoys eating crunchy potatoes? We were allowed to choose another dish, which was good. The Angus Strip Loin was tasty, and the marjolaine dessert was excellent. The table right next to the entrance corridor, alongside the half wall, in front of the wine display glass, is not a great spot. When you make your reservation, ask not to be seated there."

"While we were browsing the menu, a gentleman approached our table in a rather rude manner. He claimed to be the one who took my reservation and insisted he had only mentioned offering cake slices and candles, not a whole cake. Although he said he wasn't looking for an argument, I reassured him that I might have misunderstood. My daughter and her husband found his attitude unpleasant—no one was arguing, but I decided to let it go since I had another cake waiting for her at home. The hostess returned to apologize, and I reiterated that there had been a misunderstanding, mentioning that it was our first visit and we were celebrating my daughter's birthday. After we ordered, my son-in-law remarked on how rude the chef had been. I could sense the unfriendliness but didn't want it to ruin our evening. As the night progressed, the hostess checked in with us again. I shared my feelings about the rudeness, expressing that I wasn’t looking for an argument, but he seemed confrontational. She clarified that he was indeed the chef and owner. To the chef/owner: First, yes, I asked about a cake. Second, please be more cordial both on the phone and in person; after all, I could have been a food critic. Third, I wasn’t being combative—you were. However, I do want to highlight that our waiter and the hostess were both excellent. I also found it strange that the hostess wasn’t wearing a mask when we arrived but put one on halfway through our meal. As for the food, we ordered several appetizers: ricotta and rolls, octopus, and shrimp. For the main course, we had filet mignon, salmon, prime rib, and cod. Overall, the food was decent; the octopus and shrimp were outstanding, and my husband enjoyed the filet mignon. My son-in-law thought the cod was amazing, while my daughter liked the salmon, although it was slightly mushy. I ordered the prime rib well-done, but it was burnt. The total bill came to $351 for four people. After dinner, our waiter asked if we wanted dessert, but my daughter declined due to her earlier experience with the chef. He did bring out four cannolis, which I believe were complimentary, but by then, I was ready to leave. To the chef/owner, please try to be more gracious with your patrons; they are essential to your restaurant's success, and there are many dining options available. Would I return? Probably not. I work hard for my money, just as you do, and I don’t appreciate receiving rude service from an owner. Overall, we managed to have a good evening despite the unpleasantness, which I didn’t want to spoil for my daughter. On any other night, I might have walked out. I can easily spend my hard-earned money elsewhere."
