Holmesglen has got great facilities and the best amount of help that you can get when studying a Full-Time, Part-Time Course. And also a fantastic restaurant called ZEST!!

A culinary training facility where you get to sample and experience the dishes and service taught. Whilst simulating fine dining, don't expect it to be. The atmosphere is relaxed and can be noisy. Service can be chaotic and a little underwhelming, though bear in mind that these folk are in training and doing the best whilst under pressure of operating a live restaurant. Plenty of parking on the campus through certain areas is paid. Worth the experience and it is great to support the budding chefs and wait staff.

Great fine dining while TAFE students learn their hospitality skills. Difficult to get a booking for good reason! Highly recommended. Three course meal for $30 per person. Fully licensed.

Definitely not a high fine dinner restaurant. But It is valuable to be here. Only cost u 25 dollars for 3 dishes with beautiful quiet environment. The some of dishes are great . Consider the value and the quality of food. I would recommend you come here especially if u have a budget limits for date

Great to see up and coming hospo students doing a great job. All the best for your future careers!

Lovely customer service from the students, you can see they are still learning, but they are trying their best. Tables and cutleries are beautifully set up. The presentations of the food look amazing, seasoning was great. There are still some areas of improvement like waiters don’t know the menus well; overcooked steak and completely melted sorbet served. But of course you would expect some mistakes as all of the chefs and waiters are students and they are still learning. Dishes and drinks are very cheap as well. Don’t be surprised if the students don’t know everything about the menu and the dishes are not cooked perfectly, they are learning and we are paying a very good price. 5 star for the lovely students and professional teachers.

We know dining at this type of restaurant can be a hit and miss, as the restaurant is operated by students in training. But we still left feeling very disappointed. The experience was weird because there wasn’t much service. We were not able to pick the food from the menu. In fact, the waitress did not give us a menu or take our orders. So we sat for thirty minutes wondering if anyone was going to speak with us about the menu. When the food was served, no one explained what the food was. Not really sure how this minimal level of service helped train the students. Nobody confirmed with us if there we had any dietary requirements. The actual food was a bit meh. We couldn’t finish the desserts. It ended up costing $50 a person (plus $6 for parking). Not really worth it.

Delicious meal served by an enthusiastic group of hospitality students. We had a great experience and the food was great. Fabulous value - $30 for a 3 course meal.

Great value, excellent service. We had a lovely time. Please note you have to pay for parking! We didn’t realise.

The atmosphere was nice. We had what they called high tea, the sweet dishes outweighed the number of savoury dishes for lunch. I felt sickened by eating so many sugary deserts as there were not enough savoury dishes. For a college that is supposed to be educating students on hospitality, high tea is meant to be served at late afternoon or early evening, not at lunchtime. All the food was plonked down in one go (savouries and sweets), since this was being served at lunchtime my preference would have been for all the savoury food to be served first, so we could enjoy that with wine and then after finishing that course, be served sweets with tea.

Great to see the young staff in training....the high tea was delicious, the variety and quantity of sweet and savoury foods per person was very generous.

Most meals were great in our group, except for one.

It is nice to have great dinner and support students having their practical there
