John Dunn Gourmet Dining Room

Gourmet Dining Room article from Edible Santa Barbara

The John Dunn Gourmet Dining Room, as its name suggests, offers four-course dinners prepared and served by Culinary Arts students. The dinner courses are expertly paired with wine. The cost is TBA plus tax per person, and we accept cash and credit cards only.

We will be open for dinner on Thursday and Friday evenings, and we are taking reservations from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m., with 6:30 p.m. being the last reservation time.

Reservations are mandatory via email and space is limited. Tables of 6 and 5 are no longer available, and tables of 4 are limited.  Please note that this is an instructional lab for our Advanced Culinary students, and large tables are not conducive to a learning environment. We appreciate your understanding of this in advance, and the fantastic support we have received for this Culinary Laboratory.  At this time we cannot take multiple reservations.  If you want to be on a waiting list for a second date please let us know in an email when you make the reservation.  If you need to cancel a reservation, you will need to give a 48 hour notice via email so we can pull from our waitlist. 

The Gourmet Dining Room is located on the East Cliff Campus.  If you have questions please email gdr@sbcc.edu
