Tucked away near the end of SR-509 and just off So. 188th
street is a little known diner called the Class Act Restaurant. This
establishment features a unique dining experience due to the fact that it is
operated by high school students who are enrolled in culinary training at the
Puget Sound Skills Center. The enrollees attend from neighboring school districts
from all around South King County including Highline, Tukwila, Federal Way and
Tahoma.
It is these students who are learning the details of
restaurant and kitchen operations and practice their skills by operating the 72
seat dining room three days a week, Wednesday – Friday. On these days they serve breakfast from 7-9AM
and lunch from Noon-1PM. Since the restaurant is actually a ‘classroom’ they
operate on full school days following the Highline School District Calendar.
Although this is a training facility, the quality entrees
served up are anything but amateurish. Judge for yourself from the photo
examples presented on the 2014/2015 Gallery page. The dishes certainly rival
anything you can find at one of the finer hotels in the area or even downtown
Seattle but at half the price and without the drive! Refer to the Breakfast or
Lunch pages for the specific days that they are open and to view what is
currently being offered from the menu rotation. Advanced reservations are not
required.
If your organization or event is looking for meeting space,
please note that the Class Act also operates three banquet rooms: The Albrecht
Room and The Green Room have seating for groups up to 25 people, and the
Yormark Room can support groups up to 70. The rooms can be configured as you
wish, food service and audio/visual equipment is provided on request.
They are available on any day that the restaurant is in operation. You can
inquire about them by calling the office at the Puget Sound Skills Center at
(206) 631-7300.
