A really lovely campus with amazing food options. We had dinner in the American Bounty restaurant on a Friday night and came back to explore the campus and eat at the Egg on Saturday. I reviewed the American Bounty restaurant separately, but it was top notch for the most part. The campus is small enough and laid out in a way that makes it easy to explore from end to end. We loved that they grow some of their own food as well as brew their own beer! They also have been hives for harvesting honey. Such a great place that I wish I had attended when I was younger

A lot of the food available is aesthetically pleasing, but the tastes are hit or miss.

We ate at the American Bounty restaurant. The salad was one of the best I have tried. The dessert was also worthwhile.
Both meats in the main courses were particularly bad. The meat fibers may have been cut the incorrect way, as neither my mother nor I could bite the meat into smaller pieces.

I would recommend visiting experimentally, not with the impression that it is possible to get a fine dining experience. Only order what you are certain will be enjoyed.

We were at CIA three times on a recent trip as it was one of the main reasons for us visiting the Hudson Valley. We took the tour and had Dinner at American Bounty and Bocuse.
The tour was fine but you don't get to see a whole lot. My wife and I both agreed that the best part was the beginning in a classroom where you were given the history and went through a tasting exercise that was very enlightening.
Our first dinner was at American Bounty, The food was excellent but the service was really poor. The girl waiting on us vanished after taking our order and was not seen again until long after we were finished eating when the bill finally came. Besides that, the server who brought our cocktails spilled quite a bit on the table and didn't bother to clean it up. What's worse is that when the food came, those servers also did not clean up the spill but set our plates right in it. Also when we first placed our order I told the waitress that we would be ordering a bottle of wine to go with dinner after the cocktails but since she was missing we never got it.
Our second dinner was at Bocuse and that was a totally different experience. Food was every bit as good as at American Bounty if not better and we enjoyed the choices more. The Atmosphere was more to our liking as you are not in a huge room and feels a lot more private and quiet. The service was outstanding. It was obvious the waiters were trying very hard to make it a perfect dining experience. Observing the room told me why everything was running so smoothly The floor manager/instructor in the restaurant was right on top of things and always present. She was helping any of the students who needed it and teaching them during the service. I will come back again and I am sure Bocuse will be were I have dinner!

Beautiful campus with a classic feel. Main building is cool. Fun to see the student chefs walking around. Neat bookstore with some textbooks you probably won’t see anywhere else.
