Went for the special vegan menu with a group of fellow vegans because I&#39;d heard it was fantastic - and I wasn&#39;t disappointed. The service was friendly and professional (though you could tell some of them were pretty nervous - entirely unnecessarily!), and the food was amazing and great value. You would never know the chefs are students - such creative, tasty and beautifully presented food! It can be hard to get decent vegan food in non-vegan restaurants and you get pretty used to being palmed off with a stir fry or a tomato pasta, but every dish was thoughtful, unusual and downright delicious. Thanks guys, you should be proud of yourselves. Will definitely be back!

Staff were friendly, took you to your table and gave you the menus.  They gave you enough time to settle and choose before they came back to table to take orders. The food was delicious and the place was light and airy.  Very enjoyable.

The restaurant |Mackenzie&#39;s^ is located on a grassy area on the Hunan side of Tekapo. There are not many buildings here. It is easy to find. It is not to say how special the restaurant itself is, but this view is really great. In the outdoor seat, you can easily see the reflective Lake Tekapo. This is my first. One time I looked at a lake so seriously, the milky blue lake, the first reaction to my mind was like a blue liquid in the milk, and the more you look at it, the more you see there are many different types of blue, different levels of blue mixed together, rich and not monotonous, but in another. The corner is a color of milk blue. The first time I saw this colored lake is said to be because of the precipitation of some element at the bottom of the lake, but it is really really beautiful. There are pictures as evidence. #Shanghai&#39;s post-unblock life #Travel happy moments #Where I want to go #My hiking punch notes #Summer the Badger

Qingkoubei pasta is very delicious, this is very special, it is worth to try ～ self-driving in the UK for more than ten days, basically no homework, because I don&rsquo;t know where the day will be, but fortunately there is Ctrip, all the way to use it to search for food, very good, positioning is very accurate ～

Porto &amp; Fi is a very elegant high-end restaurant, the overall style is fresh and elegant, very suitable for travel to relax, the meals are delicious, the salad is fresh and refreshing, the sauce is similar to the taste of the domestic Qiandao sauce, the strong aroma ～ The environment is also very good, the service is good, satisfied.

Yang&#39;s Chinese Meals to Take Away, the name of this restaurant is really long enough, but it does not affect their family&#39;s likes and pursuits by diners.

Loved the atmosphere in here tonight and the food was amazing. I even tried a scallop and it was surprised that I loved it as I always just said I didn&#39;t like them!!! The cold pumpkin soup seemed a bit odd but it was lovely. I had risotto which was creamy and mushroomy at the same time. The dessert was out of this world as it was Cherry and sorbet just love love loved it. My stepson thought the portions were small but when your having six courses then you don&#39;t feel hungry. Music was a tiny bit loud but in a way I&#39;m glad as my family are noisy and it helped drown them out!!! Sorry if we were. Staff were helpful and duty manager was lovely.

I have visited this restaurant twice now, as I know someone who studies in the department. Overall, I was very impressed for it being students in training, full credit to them. The first time we visited I was blown away, we had the beef olives and fish goujons and they were both cooked to perfection. It was hands down one of the best meals I have had! The dessert, a strawberry tart, was a bit of a let down as the pastry was absolutely solid but it was still very tasty nonetheless, and the service was fabulous. However, the second time we visited it could not have been more of a let down. I had the red mullet for starters which was lovely, really set me up well for my meal, but my friend (the same one I had visited with previously) opted for the thai chicken soup which he repeatedly stated was far too watery and tasteless, and he decided to not even attempt finishing it. We both had the chicken kiev for mains which was amazing. For dessert, I had the apple turnover which was lovely albeit a bit burned on the top whilst my friend went for the jam roly poly, which he again was disappointed by and stated that it tasted nothing like it should and the consistency wasn&#39;t what it should have been. I have also noticed on both occasions that as the staff know my friend, I have been pretty much ignored. The first visit our waiter was Dean and he was five star, can&#39;t praise him enough! Overall, the food is very very good, (maybe the second visit was just a bad day) and the service from what I can see my friend receiving, is great. However, I can&#39;t praise the value for money enough, it is absolutely brilliant and the quality of everything is amazing as these are at the end of the day, students who are training in the trade. Keep going guys well done!

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor I was excited about a lunch we had planned at the Apprentice. I feel almost bad writing this, because I do understand they are students, but even in a learning environment it was pretty awful. If you have a haircut by a student, or a student doctor tends to you, a qualified person is always on hand. I seriously doubt there was a qualified chef in that kitchen, nor was an experienced front of house manager anywhere to be seen. I will start with the food: to start I had a chicken and egg noodle stir fry in an oyster sauce. If I am honest I thought a stir fry was a bit of a strange starter, but when it came it was surprisingly pleasant. The chicken was cooked well, the sauce was good. I just thought the noodles were a bit bland, was as if they had been taken out of a bag of fresh egg noodles and popped on the plate, could have maybe been stir fried with the chicken and sauce. For my main I chose steak in red wine sauce. The steak was okay, a bit overcooked (we weren&#39;t asked how we wanted it cooked) but it was definitely well done. The mashed potato was the let down though. So unbelievably lumpy with chunks of raw potato through it and a lack of seasoning. Not even a little bit of lump, it was as if it had seen a masher once and never again, it was embarassingly bad. I took to mashing mine on my plate with a fork! The broccoli was also a little too al dente. For the desssert I had profiteroles. They were small and very hard and crunchy, had been overcooked. What was most bizarre was that they came bathed in a mango puree, very strange. Now on to the service. Again, I understand they are students but you won&#39;t get far in the hospitality industry by being cheeky to customers. Perhaps the waiter thought he was having banter, but it didnt come across that way. He was very shaky when brining the drnks and food over, which is fine, he is a student, I understand. Also rather than asking individually (we were a table of 8) if we wanted
