SUPPORT SCS | GET DINNER TO GO

Enjoy Fine Dining at Home, without the Cooking!

We can’t serve you in our Dining Room right now, but you can still support the School and enjoy one-of-a-kind four course Student Chef Designed Dinners, TO GO. 
It’s a pleasure to see the culinary passions and heritage of our Level 2 students reflected in the unique, diverse Dinner menus of their own design. 
Next week we have Emily Hanson’s ‘Warm Summer Evening on a Cold Winter Night’ menu, Alexandra Campbell’s menu ‘A Few of Ali’s Favourite Things‘, Yvonna Budimlic’s ‘Serbian Extravaganza‘, Elijah Christou’s ‘A Visit to Sunny Greece‘, and ‘A Baltic Menu Inspired by Austris’ Many Years Living in Latvia‘ from Austris Silins.

Which Menus Will You Try?

Book online for easy pick up, lay the table and enjoy a fine dining experience at home. Sommelier-selected wine pairings are available to add to your Take Out order for $20 per person.

Perhaps some of the best food I have experienced from anywhere in the world. Bravo!”  -Jennifer C., Dinner Guest, December 18, 2021
