It's a new semester and the student chefs are back! ARC's Oak Cafe just posted on Facebook their 2011 menu. If you haven't been before and can get out to ARC during lunch time, you should check it out. My friend, Sarah, introduced me to the Oak Cafe a few semesters ago and I've gone a few times since then. The Oak Cafe is completely student run and offers both a prix fixe menu and a tasting menu at $15 each. The prix fixe menu includes choice of a first course, choice of an entrée, a choice of a dessert and a beverage. The tasting menus include all courses and a beverage. The menu changes weekly.
Lunch is served Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 11:30 – 1:30 and reservations (highly recommended as seats fill up fast) are being accepted beginning January 26.
