NEW YORK -- There's a hot new restaurant in Manhattan, but diners can't get a reservation until after Christmas.

You probably expect a swanky place, maybe with a view of Central Park.

But this dining establishment is something else entirely.

You are served your multi-course meal in a student's dorm room at Columbia University.

The chef/student is Jonah Reider. He takes reservations and charges a small fee for the meal which he prepares in the communal kitchen at Hogan Hall.



The restaurant, which daylights as a dorm room, is very real -- and even has several Yelp reviews from satisfied customers.

The first review from Sept. 27 reads:


Reider doesn't turn a profit on the endeavor, reports Mashable. His roommate, who helps serve the meals, says the project is fun, but may eventually run its course.

For now, five stars.
