Looking for a Great Place to Eat Dinner While You're Here?
Our Table
We highly recommend Our Table — a local favorite just 18 minutes from the school, with a special connection to MASW!
While the restaurant was being built, Chef Joe cooked lunches for students and instructors at MASW. Surrounded by creativity and craftsmanship, he formed lasting connections — many of whom are now regulars at Our Table!
Do you know who designed, built, and installed the beautiful walnut bar in the restaurant?
