The Red Room at Frisco Campus
Welcome to The Red Room, “A Higher Degree of Dining,” where guests are treated to mouth-watering cuisine and great hospitality in a cozy and elegant dining room serviced by Collin College Institute of Hospitality and Culinary Education (IHCE) students.
As a working educational lab, The Red Room is unique for many reasons. Most notably, aside from the restaurant opening its doors to the public, The Red Room is serviced by Collin College’s RSTO1304- Dining Room Service and CHEF1314- A La Carte Cooking classes.
Each week will feature a menu created and implemented by a student Executive Chef from CHEF1314 and a Maitre d from RSTO1304 courses.
New for Spring 2024, each service features dessert & bread offerings from the student Pastry Chefs enrolled in PSTR1342-Bakery Operations Mgmt. or PSTR2331-Advanced Pastry
This combination allows Collin College students in the Dining Room Service class to support the front-of-the-house restaurant management experience while the A La Carte Cooking students prepare, cook and expedite food in the "back-of-house".
Meanwhile, students in both classes learn the importance of communication and coordination between the dining room ("front-of-house") and kitchen ("back-of-house"). The students also practice marketing the restaurant and delivering the level exceptional service necessary as leaders in hospitality.
The Red Room serves as a "live" learning environment, capstone class, for A.A.S. degree Culinary Arts & Pastry Arts students. Please remember to provide feedback on the guest feedback card or link provided during your meal...Bon Appetit!
Beginning Friday, January 26th, The Red Room will be open for dine-in lunch service on select Fridays. Please note that all reservations are for a one hour dining experience. Guest seatings are from 11:00am and 12:30pm. (See full schedule below.)To make reservations, please click on this sign-up link: The Red Room Reservations Link
