Reservations
For lunch reservations call 253-589-5889 or use the reservations widget on the right margin. Reservations can be made thirty days in advance. We are closed between quarters, approximately three to four weeks for the students break and training.
Please understand if you call, students are in classes all over campus or online and do not monitor the phone. Phone messages will be checked Wednesday and Thursday mornings and a return call will be made at that time.
We accept cash (please no $50 or $100 bills), Visa and MasterCard.
The Rainier Room is a teaching environment and we want students and diners alike to have a positive experience. Parties of 8 or more will be divided into smaller groups.
Reservations are limited. We adjust capacity based on students experience.
If no slots are showing available we are full for those days. We fill up fast, the reservation system is working fine...
A little kindness and support can go be the difference between a student giving up or reaching their educational and career goals.
CPTC Culinary Arts student Jacob Romero is taking his skills to the next level thanks to the Dave Henderson Scholarship, named for the beloved and ever-smiling former Mariners outfielder.
It’s nearly time to start planning the menu for the holidays, and Clover Park Technical College Culinary Arts Instructor Chef William Jolly has a dish for you.
