   It was a lovely way to spend a few hours over a scrumptious lunch. Everything was perfect.

   The sandwiches were very good, and the presentation was nice. I really liked the broccoli slaw served with the sandwich too. The service was excellent, and the view is amazing!

   A wonderful dinner with Spanish cuisine and beverage options to pair with it, including Spanish wines. The service was very good and the sunset view was fantastic.

   We have never had a bad dining experience at Lobdell's. We enjoy supporting the culinary institute and interacting with the student staff. The food, service, and ambiance are all exceptional and the price is comparable to any good Traverse City restautant.

   Phenomenal experience, beautiful view and incredible food. Our service was excellent. We got to enjoy the World Cuisine class’ Spain dishes. We loved our dinner and will happily make another reservation!

   The best international meal yet. The octopus & shrimp were tender and tasty & not greasy , the manchego cheese was a bit dry and the crostini burnt a bit as well but the pork dish was stellar and delicious and perfectly cooked! Excellent dessert as well with a beautiful presentation. Thank you for all you do , your standards of excellence make living here a better experience . :)

   If we could choose anywhere to eat, our first choice would be Lobdell's!! The food is 5 star quality and the ambiance can't be beat anywhere in TC. You can also buy pastries and food at their front desk area even if you don't eat in the dining area. A++++

    The dining experience is ALWAYS a step into a quality atmosphere with an unobstructed view of West Bay. The student staff is both informative and never intrusive. The dining area is spacious with tables and seating well thought out - acoustically other activity is not intrusive. The menu selections are creative and fit any appetite and cocktails allow the unfamiliar to experience a unique beverage. The whole dining experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
