Four of us went at 10 A.M. for Sunday brunch to get somewhat prompt service. Too bad we didn't pay more attention to it's name and mistakenly ordered their breakfast entreés. We eventially discovered that it's just a good bakery disguised as a restaurant.
The bakery items we sampled were competitively priced, interesting and tasty. The omelet and various eggs bene that took 40 minutes to produce were very ordinary to awful. The omelet was burned black around the edges but our guest insisted that it was OK and just ate the center so we didn't return it. All the mains were served on heavy cold plates that immediately sucked the heat out of the food. At $13 for a couple of eggs on bacon and a split biscuit with a splash of sauce and a few hash browns ought to result in something of superior quality. That was a case of extortion.
We'll spare you gentle Yelpers the details of the service atrocities we experienced only to ask if anyone else is getting tired of the increasingly common practice of having to suffer through a food auction when served?
It's disappointing if our experience is going to be typical of School's future efforts. With its creative design and detailed operational concept it could well be the prototype of a successful chain or franchise operation if they could deliver the food quality its menu infers, Wait, they're already operating like so many of the restaurant chains with a studied ignorance of service quality without going through all the extra expense and work of an expansion.
