About the Restaurant School
The Restaurant School, established in 1974, is one of the country’s first schools to offer programs for the fine dining and hospitality industry. The school offers Associate and Bachelor Degrees in four specialized programs: Restaurant Management, Culinary Arts, Hotel Management and Pastry Arts.
About the Campus
Walnut Hill College’s campus is centered by the Allison Mansion, a historically restored Italianate mansion built in 1854 and designed by the prominent architect: Samuel Sloan. In addition to the mansion, there are several additional historic buildings serving as dormitories and administrative offices.
Menus
The Restaurant School offers a variety of menu items and options to select from. Flexibility is one of our hallmarks; we will create a special, individualized menu for you and your guests. Menu prices do not include a service charge of 18% or a 7% sales tax on the food. Menus are subject to change based on seasonal availability; comparable substitutions may be made. Guests with special dietary needs are always accommodated.
Special desserts including cakes and candies can be ordered from our Pastry Chefs.
The holiday menu, an extensive and hugely popular offering, is available during the month of December of every year.
Cocktails
A full bar is available; wines to complement your menu selection can be chosen from our wine list. Bar prices are $5.50-$6.50 for most cocktails, $3.00 for beers and $5.50 for wines by the glass. Most bottles of wine are priced from $19.00 to $26.00 with a few outside that range. Beverages are purchased on a per drink basis (charged per consumption). The City of Philadelphia imposes a 10% sales tax on all alcohol purchases.
Saturday Functions
Because all the dining rooms are sure to be filled every Saturday we are requesting a minimum food and beverage purchase in order to reserve a dining room for that day.
Deposit Policy
A deposit of 50% of the estimated bill must be received in order to confirm the date of your reservation. Deposits are refunded if cancellations are received 2 weeks prior to the date of the event. With less than 2 weeks notice deposits will only be refunded if the space is rebooked.
Guarentee
A guarantee concerning the number of guests attending your function must be received one week prior to the date of your event. The guarantee will be the minimum food and beverage charged for this event.
Confirmation
A date and room cannot be confirmed until a deposit and a signed agreement are received. All rooms and dates will remain open for other banquet inquiries until both are received.
Payment
At the conclusion of your dinner, the deposit will be deducted from the bill. The remainder of the balance must be settled at that time. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we do not direct bill.
Please call 215-222-4200 for more information.
