It has been a long time coming for myself and best friend to visit "School". We are unofficially on the hunt to eat our way through all of the brunch places in Liberty Village. We were so thankful that because of the cold, rainy weather we walked straight into School and we were seated right away. Instantly we were both in awe of the vibe and decor. Definitely hipster central - there were antique expresso machines as decor, books on the shelve, graded papers lining the light fixtures. "Saved by the Bell" was playing on the televisions which gave me flashbacks to my mornings before elementary school.
We were seated to our table where they had an apple as decor (didn't look like anyone was actually eating them). The theme of the restaurant runs heavily, right into the menu with punny food names and the milk for your coffee coming in a beaker! We appreciated the commitment.
Now for the important stuff - food. So I've heard that the Black and Blue flapjacks were very popular but I'm a traditional girl at heart. Both my bestie and got their traditional breakfast option called the "Safe Bet". Half a Belgium waffle with brown butter, scrambled eyes with creme fresh and chives and bacon. I know it sounds basic but it was AMAZING. A classic elevated for sure. To be honest though, while we both left full I felt like I was missing potatoes or something. Also, the prices were higher than I anticipated - between $16-$25 per plate, so bare that in mind. You are paying for an experience.
All in all, we will be back to School Resto soon!
