Renaissance Room, Lane Community College

The Renaissance Room is a lab restaurant for the LCC Culinary Arts program.  They use good ingredients, the coffee is from Wandering Goat, milk they use is local Lochmead milk.  They have an organic learning garden and whatever they have in the garden, they try to utilize.  It is a classroom restaurant, so seating is limited and service hours are short.  But if you get lucky, you can have a great meal with very reasonable prices.  They always have bread, salad, soup, entree and dessert.  It is open to the public, so anyone can go, but I would recommend checking with them beforehand if they are open.  I had some great bread and a salmon dish.  You have to be prepared to wait -- it is a lab school, after all.  Food can be really good or so-so, it depends on the student who is cooking.  But all in all, I think it is a great deal.
