I went to School Restaurant recently with 2 friends who had raved about going there before. The first obstacle was that we went for Sunday brunch and waited about 45min for a table, probably due to the rain causing the patio to close. Normally I would not wait if I was alone, but I was willing. Once inside, the place was crowded of course, very noisy, and far more trendy than I care for.
The food however was fine. I had the Cheesy Bacon French Toast. Thick french toast, lots of cheese and bacon, maple syrup, and green salad on the side. My friends had a mixed skillet meal, which was good, but apparently not as good as their first visit. With drinks, the bill was about $25/person.
Admittedly, the food was good, but the atmosphere was not what I want for breakfast. There was assorted school memorabilia, which should have appealed to the nostalgia in me, but it seemed more like they were trying too hard to build a theme restaurant. Overall, I would say not my kind of place, but okay for a one-time visit.
