Learn About Gatehouse

Located on the historic campus of the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, Gatehouse Restaurant showcases the extraordinary talents of our CIA student-chefs after two years of rigorous study.

For seven weeks, the students gain hands-on experience working in Gatehouse’s professional kitchen, followed by seven additional weeks serving in the dining room, where they learn both contemporary and formal service techniques. Our goal is to give the students a professional restaurant experience while providing a seamless dining experience for our guests.
