• Where do they get the food that is served in the Terrace?
• The students in the Commercial Foods, Commercial Baking and Terrace Café Classes make it, every day from scratch.  They helped to create the menu and have been training since the beginning of the school year in sanitation, safety and different cooking techniques to learn to help to run the restaurant. 

Mr. Matthes runs the dining room and Mrs. Olsen is the Chef/Instructor in the kitchen. But, the Terrace is a class.  All of the servers and cooks and kitchen workers are students.  For many of them, this is their first opportunity to explore what it would be like to work in a restaurant.  They are following a curriculum for which they can earn college credit.  They will rotate through every station and learn all aspects of the restaurant business.

Just like any other restaurant a tip is a gesture of gratitude for good service.  Tipping is appreciated but never expected.  Any tip that is collected in the Terrace should go into the tip jar by the register.  Those monies are deposited into our Tip account.  It is used to fund the Terrace Café Scholarship for students who further their education in the fields of Culinary Arts, Restaurant Management or Baking and Pastry Arts.  We also use part of the tip fund to pay for special field trips for our students during the year.

• We accept cash and Credit/Debit cards.  We are not a part of the school lunch system.  You cannot use your lunch account in the Terrace.
• If you have special dietary needs, please let us know.  Many of our menu items can be modified to accommodate dietary requests.  You can make special requests when you pre-order your food.
• Please remember, when you dine with us you are a guest in our classroom.  Your best manners, patience and respect are fully expected.
