| - I remember when School used to be the Warehouse about 4-5 years ago (Wow! I can't believe it's been that long *moment of silence for Warehouse and the BEST potato hash I've ever had). When they switched over to School, a lot of the cooking staff also stayed on, so I decided to stop by for a "walk down memory lane" so to speak. I'm sure some or all of the staff may have changed by now, but I'm a sucker for nostalgia.
I've been to School before, but never for a meal. Always for a mid day snack - not sure if they still make the root beer cake, but if so, TRY IT! On this occasion I came with TM for brunch. We both ordered the spiced eggs benni on a cheddar chive biscuit with back bacon, chipotle hollandaise & home fries. First off, their cheddar biscuit is amazing! Definitely a reason to come back. It was soft on the inside and fluffy and delicious! The eggs were poached perfectly, and you can never go wrong with back bacon! The potatoes were good, though nothing special. I was slightly underwhelmed by the chipotle hollandaise. I didn't really taste any heat, and the hollandaise missed that zing/acidity I look forward to. However, it was overall a good meal. The table beside us had the egg white fritata and it looked amazing, so that's what I'll be ordering next time.
As others have mentioned, the atmosphere is fun and creative. Their patio area is also wonderful. It is secluded with greenery - a nice little escape. On this particular day, I found the service to be friendly but on the slow side. The restaurant wasn't at capacity and there were plenty of staff on hand, but I found things were delayed. That being said, we didn't have any plans for the day, so it wasn't that big a deal.
Who knew that after all these years, I'd want to go back to School... glad this time around, it's in a tastier form!
